One Down | Our Story

My new RE wanted me to establish relationships with a PCP and a high risk OB before we did anything more on the IF front. I had my PCP appointment today. I will admit that I picked a female doctor who was a little overweight, just because I felt so judged and gross while seeing Dr Rah. I got a fairly stern talking-to about my weight, but it felt genuine and not judgy or preachy. I know it is a problem, solving the problem has been a lifelong back and forth for me.

I left the appointment feeling a little deflated. I talked to the hubs as soon as I got home and we are rededicating ourselves to this. Not to unrealistic goals or numbers, but to being healthier. To making better choices and being more active. We are going to leave the numbers and the charts to the doctors and just work on feeling better. That, in and of itself makes me feel better. By the time I see the new OB a month from now, it should already feel a little different in my skin and hopefully, clothes.

If you believe in that sort of thing, say a little prayer for strength for us as well as tenacity on this journey.

I leave you with one final thought: when a trained professional is administering an injection, it hurts a lot less than when you give it to yourself!! (Or when my hubs does it.)
