Prego Workout and Good Vag

I decided that I can work on my fatigue by exercising more. Months of excessive tiredness are getting old (this pre-dates getting PG).

During yesterday's appointment, I made sure it was OK with my doctor and today I walked on a treadmill, on granny-speed, for almost an hour.

And you know what? I feel great right now. This is the least tired I've felt in months.

Speaking of my doctor, I said good-bye to her yesterday. As of tomorrow, I'm off to the regular OB. It was weird saying bye to my doctor, because she's been my doctor for so long -- probably longer than any other doctor in my life.

I've been going through fertility treatments on and off for three years, but I've gone to my fertility doctor as a way of "treating" my PCOS for almost seven years. Since we now know that I have PCOS and insulin-regulation medicines keep things in check, I don't need to go to her anymore.

She gave me a hard time saying, "What, you're not going to try for #3? Why are you laughing? I have three kids."

Thanks, but no thanks. If I have a choice, I will never elect to give myself another shot in the stomach (given all goes well with TBD).

When I said good-bye she said, "Even though you don't need to see me as a doctor, we could hang out and see each other in a social capacity." It was sweet, I might take her up on it and it made me think "I must have a pretty well-kept vaginal area for her to think I'm OK enough to be friends with."

This may be false-logic, but it's what I'm taking from the situation.

Yes, we do use vag hygiene and appearance as friendship requirements. Actually, I've only seem a couple of my friend's. Wierd, no? More importantly - Congratulations! I am so excited for the 3 of you. (well, 4 now I guess). 2 are more than twice as hard as 1 but completely worth it.

Because of this post, I have worked out 2 days in a row. Thanks for the unintentional motivation.
