I feel so much better knowing. I got AF this morning so I am not PG. Whew...it is just a weight off my shoulders knowing that. Part of me knew I wasn't, but there was still that question. I am sure all of us girls go through that thought...monthly.
I am turning over a new leaf.
Tired of feeling like this, complaining all the time, feeling helpless and depressed and overwhelmed.
I am not going to go back on the pill after this cycle. I really think those hormones have a lot to do with the way I am feeling. I could be totally wrong...but I am also tired of just being on those hormones too. Yucky. So we will use the old fashion way of birth control...just not having sex at all (kidding!!). No, we are just going to not have sex during that peak time of ovulation. Now, I am not dumb, I know that is not 99.9% birth control like the pill, but my cycles are pretty regular, and if we happen to get pregnant, than we do. We aren't not not trying, but we aren't not trying to not not try. Make sense? Perfect!
The other thing I am doing? I am going to a WW meeting today at lunch. After two days of writing down what I have been eating...I am astounded and disappointed in myself. I am such an emotional eater and have no control. I have to change my mindset, and that is not working by my own strength. So we will go with the assistance of others on the WW program, and the dreaded "weigh in" weekly. I have to nip this in the bud...now!
OK, off to do my day of work with my new leaf on my shoulder. Wish me luck...and a little prayer would be nice too.

Good luck! And I'll be saying lots of prayers for you while I'm saying lots of prayers for me too. LOL :p Last night I had a hard night (but that's for a post or conversation or something) and I need to be more determined like you. Anyway, glad you got AF (not really, but you know, AF's are never a "good" thing - haha) and things are okay. Take care and I can't wait to hear about all the progress you are making with your weight loss! :o)
all my prayers are with you for your new leaf... and it's a relief to hear you're not pg if that's what you wanted. Good move on the pill, too. I hated it myself. I am on the ring now, but I have a feeling my doctor is going to tell me to try something new, because I have been on it for over 2 years now... maybe I'll try the nothing approach too...
I totally know what you mean. I am off the pill for good. After 10+ years on hormones, I like just being me! And we are 'trying not to try' so we will be doing the same thing as you are.
Best of luck to you on the weight loss. I just finally reached my pre-pregnancy weight, but I was 10lbs heavier than I should have been when I got pregnant. I just want these 10lbs gone so I know how you feel. I might look into ww once I have a steady pacy check coming in again. I did it once before and it really worked!!
As for the hormones I am with you. Even before I was pregnant I had a pregnancy mask on my face from those stupid hormones. They just do weird things to my body so after Mia was born I decided no more pills. We use condoms....that is when we have sex so I am not too worried.
Good to know you have peace of mind about not being PG.
you have prayers from me! Good luck sweetie and you know we are all here to support you in whatever you need.
Good luck! I hope that you start feeling better soon! I hope the WW meeting goes well.
Good luck, chaquita. Thanks for keeping us posted! I'm sorry you haven't been feeling yourself. :-(
