On Cycle #11: Baselines & 1st Weigh-In

I've, unfortunately, let TTC take over my life, and my body (and the scale, yikes!) shows it. I feel very gross and out of shape. I did my first weigh-in for my new mindset this morning and well, it wasn't pretty.

164.5

Now, granted, I feel very bloated and my muscles are very sore from Wednesday's workout, so I'm hoping they are just retaining alot of water? A girl can dream, right? I'm officially up over 10lbs from my April wedding. Yikes.

To keep me gym motivated - I downloaded this iPhone app called GymPact where you pledge to do a certain number of days in the gym, and the phone tracks it by GPS, and if you don't, you pay up! I pledge to go to the gym 3 times a week and will lose $5 for each session I miss. Anyone who goes to the gym as per their pledge also earns money (the money that the people who don't go end up contributing). If anyone is interested in it, I have a promo code where we both earn $5 if you sign up.

TTC wise - had my CD2 baseline bloodwork and ultrasound yesterday. Everything looks good, so I'll go back on Saturday the 24th for more bloodwork, follicle scan/lining check ultrasound, and a post-coital test. I want to make this an IUI cycle either way, but I'm hoping our post-coital turns out better than last time. I started my Mucinex today, and I'm also drinking green tea (I read somewhere that it helps with CM). For those who don't know, last time, our post-coital didn't show any of DH's guys in my CM. So, the doctor has me doing 2400mg of Mucinex each day from CD3 - ovulation. I also plan on getting back into the habit of using Conceive Plus during BDing.
