On hold.

John and I have officially put baby trying on hold for an undetermined amount of time. I clearly have been having trouble conceiving. I have been on fertility medications for four months after trying for eight months unsuccessfully. While in St Louis we talked a lot about baby plans and decided I have to get healthier before I can have the type of pregnancy and labor I want. I am very sad about this but also will appreciate a break from ovulation tests and the mood swings the fertility medication were causing.

Currently I am going through back pain and starting physical therapy soon. My vitamin D is also very low. As mentioned, I have to get healthy. Until my back pain gets under control I am focusing on diet. John and I both are giving up procsessed foods and trying to eat clean. If it is not local or organic I am not interested. Our budget has more money designated for these more expensive items, (but I have noticed they are not that much more expensive). We will also be joining the YMCA soon so I can do water aerobics (until my back is ready for other exercising).
I have been getting pretty fancy these past two days with food we got at farmers market, whole foods, and trader joes.

I am hopitoss will be ready in six months then I will go back to ovulation tests and other forms of fertility help. I also need to still call the nurse tomorrow to inform my doctor my plan.
