With the new year comes new and exciting plans. TTC plans to be exact. TTC for baby #2 to be even more exact. Its so much fun to start thinking about trying to conceive my second little munchkin. Visions of BFP's, nursery decorating and name picking all dance around my head. But then I remember I have PCOS. Oh that's right...I also remember it took almost 3 years to conceive baby #1. Bummer.
So to up my chances and to aid in a future pregnancy being the healthiest it can be I have a simple game plan.
First, I must loose weight. This is very important to me as I know it effects my PCOS and general health. I need to loose a good 25 lbs before I can even begin to think about trying. I want to loose weight in a healthy manner meaning exercising and eating as many natural unprocessed foods as possible. Soda must be eliminated.
Second, I must start taking prenatal vitamins again. I have not once popped a vitamin since the birth of my daughter 7 months ago. Bad, I know.
Third, I must ensure that I have a positive outlook on life in general. Being positive will lead to not only a better life but a more stress free life. The more stress free you are the higher your chances of conceiving.
Sounds simple but I know it will be hard. So lastly I must keep in mind that getting through difficult tasks brings great rewards.
More detail on my 2012 pre-TTC journey to follow throughout the year. Stay tuned!
