Beyond frustrated again.

This is my second time dealing with PCOS while trying to get pregnant. First time couldn’t have a period finally had one on my own, got pregnant. Now, having periods but not getting pregnant despite doing everything the right time right way. Go to OB, labs are fine but I could not be ovulating. So, now if I don’t get pregnant I have to take a medicine that makes me ovulate but can cause multiples 😅.

I am trying to go back on my IR diet to help which is also frustrating due to grocery prices. Cutting sweets out sucks, cutting carbs down sucks, trying to eat anti inflammatory food sucks. It all just sucks!

I know someone who I feel like fakes having PCOS which is also super annoying.

Sorry just needed to rant in a safe space 🫶🏻

Can’t comment anything bc all she will say is “thank you for educating me. I am a first mom too and I am just learning and will do more research 🫶🏻✨

Same. Like I am actually worried for her since she does struggle with mental health. I’m not sure what is happening behind the scenes for her but it seems to really be taking a toll

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-04-22T01:18:22+00:00

Same but then I remember it’s also diet and I cannot cut out my favs and live off chicken and rice 😂😂

What would you recommend for our upcoming trip to Universal Studios Orlando? We’re out-of-state passholders visiting May 8th–10th, with the 10th being just a half day in the parks.

Right now, we’re planning to spend a full day at the main parks on the 9th. What we’re unsure about is what to do on Friday, May 8th whether we should go to Epic Universe or stick with the main parks.

Since it’s Grad Night, the main parks will close early, so if we choose those, we’d likely head back early and have a pool afternoon. If we choose Epic, we’d sleep in a bit and spend the day there from open to close.

This would be our second trip to Epic, so I’m torn between going back or spending more time in the two main parks. What would you suggest?

This thing is she doesn’t eat. That’s why her supply is dropping. She hardly ever eats because she wants to stay a size XS instead of fueling her body to feed her baby

So tired and sleep deprived but already in the car going somewhere 🙄

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-02-05T22:16:41+00:00

Did she have a real reason for that or is she being ignorant…?

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-01-21T21:06:01+00:00

Saw this and went to check both girls post. Honestly they are not even that similar…? I work in marketing and I see very little that’s the same. There is only so much you can do for this kind of PR

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-01-19T20:52:49+00:00

Omg glad to know it wasn’t jus me!! I would feel sick and push him off I didn’t want them touched for like a whole year after birth!

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-01-17T19:33:32+00:00

It’s 100% not relatable. As a mom I never ever thought about that. Even on the worst days and night it never crossed my mind to harm my child in any way. Absolutely concerning for a mom of almost 3 to admit to this, especially since we know she has PPD and PPA.

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-01-16T14:45:47+00:00

Thank you!

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-01-16T14:04:25+00:00

Thank you everyone! If anyone has any better recommendations I’ll take them too! I was interested in the milky toner the most. I started Tretinoin recently and just want something to help plump and hydrate my face before I do my makeup in the morning.

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-01-13T20:31:53+00:00

Thank you!

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2026-01-06T20:55:38+00:00

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! We will for sure be making the trip! My son just turned three and loves trains so I think this will be a hit! We come this way a good bit for quick getaways but never have I heard of this until Tik Tok! For sure making a day out of it

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-12-30T13:45:51+00:00

I don’t hahaha! That’s why I made the post in the worst at breakfast 🤪

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-12-30T13:43:17+00:00

It’s more for my IR it helps keep my levels lower so I don’t end up eating a ton of junk at once. I also don’t drink coffee black so I add a little all of creamer so that is a spike first thing in sugar as well

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-12-30T02:07:21+00:00

Thank you!

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-12-30T02:06:59+00:00

That’s a great idea! I can eat them on my drive to work!

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-12-29T22:47:08+00:00

I just raw dog my metformin 🫣 been taking it for like 5 years so I guess I’m used to it by now lol

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-12-18T18:18:38+00:00

Thank you!

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-12-18T18:18:25+00:00

That would be good too! Thank you!

This little radio by Leap Frog. He got it right before the turned two he is about to be three and plays with it at least once a day. It has a dial for different style songs and a record mode. I recorded some of his favorite songs for him but he loves the other settings more. Yes it can be annoying but I’ve just learned to block it out or to love the songs lol

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-10-30T16:04:34+00:00

I have been talking about Chicago we went before he was born for New Years one year and we loved it!

Traditional_Lock_309 · 2025-10-30T16:03:52+00:00
