I've made another decision. (Are you sick of it yet?
) We REALLY need to buckle down on getting debt paid off so we can move out of CA. It's terrible on my health. My asthma is sooo bad here, and getting worse every year. I had a hard time breathing when I was pg with Danielle....I can't imagine having a hard time because of pg on top of my worsening asthma with the bad air out here. (Bakersfield/Kern County is always in the top for the worst air quality in the nation....Thank you poorly monitored agriculture and San Fransisco Bay area.
) So...no more medical intervention with ttc. (Except for progesterone if it's needed.) It's costing us way too much money, Erik is down right fed up with it, and so we're moving on...on "our own". I'll still temp and chart, but I'm not going to push for any more meds. I'm going to try just vitamins, and maybe an herbal or two. (Thinking green tea and maybe soy.) I've come off the met completely now, and I'm feeling fine. Blood sugar is ok, and I'm not feeling that "sick" feeling I had before starting it. I'm GOING to get back into working out. Monday morning NO excuses! Erik is even willing to do a family membership at a gym to keep us all motivated!
He's lost about 15 lbs in the last 6 weeks, so I think that has alot to do with it. His motivation is already up. (And some studies show that maybe his sperm count may be too! 
) So be frustrated with me if ya need to, but this is what I'm going to do now. All natural, and more exercise, and better eating habbits. Erik was so proud of my decision he gave me one of those "I'm soooo relieved" hugs! I think this is the best thing for us. Besides....I really need to not worry about the "age gap" between kids. My mom is 14 years older than her youngest sister, and they get along great. And once we're out of CA, maybe Erik will get better pay and better medical benefits (and I'll get my lungs back!). At that point we can discuss medical intervention again.
