After trying to conceive for the past three months, I am deciding to get back to my normal schedule..Enduring the disappointment, the waiting, the not being able to really tell anyone, and the upside-down and inside-out treatment my diet and workout regimens have been tolerating, I think I need to get back to what makes me feel good. And right now, I could stand to lose some weight, and get some muscle back. For two weeks, I’ve been back into weight training, doing full body workouts, which have felt great. I just haven’t been logging anything on here, which I think I’ll start doing, just for my own satisfaction.
I really miss the support so many of you have offered on this site. And if my husband and I Weren’t trying to have a baby right now, I’d be on this site all the time. Somehow, my motivation just fell off the map. My diet (for conceiving purposes only) has included an array of foods, I wouldn’t normally embelish in, such as carbs, fat, and tons and tons of fruits and veggies. I’ve had my share of protein too. Now that I am feeling rather plump and a little bummed out from hearing about my big fat negative test results today, I think it’s high time I get my butt back into the gym.

Dont’ get too down on yourself. It will all happen at the right time. Just try to focus on your body and what makes you feel good and getting in shape. That will take the focus off of the "trying" and who knows it could happen once your not thinking or trying. Best of luck!!

My wife and I have talked this over many times. And maybe it will give you a different perspective. In june we plan on "Stop trying to not have kids". Meaning no Birth control. We felt this would relieve pressure put on both of us and to just let the situation take care of itself.
I really wish you guys the best of luck.

As much as I am sure you dont want to hear it, you have to be sure that everything happens for a reason and that although u may not see the reason yet, it will all become clear in time. I am sure that it will all work out for you. Keep on being strong!

Soup12qb - thank you, I totally hear what you’re saying, and I’ve thought about it too. Maybe if we just stop TRYING something will happen…who knows. I remain optimistic.
LauraC821 - thank you for the encouragement. I am staying strong.
