We're going the 'do-it-yourself' route

Well, hubby and I did some soul searching recently about the baby issue, and have come to a decision not to continue the two drugs I was taking to 'regulate' my reproductive system. Basically they were tricking my body into thinking it was a healthy weight, enough to ovulate normally and since I am working towards losing weight anyway, we felt it unnecessary to be buying drugs for the next few months (until I'm a healthy weight), especially since my stomach is already sensitive and we couldn't tell if my recent feeling ill was aggrevated by the pills. Also, we would never know when my body was healthy enough to ovulate normally if I was on those regulators. I was in a rush to think the pills would be a quick fix and we didn't immediately take the time to hash out all the angles, so now that we have that is our decision.
So, now I get to work and lose weight so that we can see if that in fact is the issue, if I can in fact regulate my ovulation myself by lowering my weight. If not, then we'll have another decision to make at that time.
I have already lost 11 lbs in 10 weeks! YAY!
