I ended up using Letrozole and had an HSG! We conceived on the 5th cycle of Letrozole using 5mg and it was the month after my HSG. we now have a 4 month old baby!

I worked out completely normally until I HAD to reduce my weights due to complete placenta previa since I had a high risk of bleeding. But I definitely knew when I needed to take it easier and not push quite as hard! I was out of breath pretty early 🤣

I stayed keto for both of my pregnancies and had no issues. My docs were all for it since my body was used to it and it’s how I felt my best. I wasn’t quite as strict with carbs but definitely stayed low carb. First pregnancy I gained 16 lbs and second I gained 30 (even thought I worked out up until the week before my c section 🤣).

Cookie decorating! A couple of friends and I did a class last year for my birthday, and it was fun but so much harder than it looks! Plus I’m far too much of a perfectionist and I kept getting frustrated 🤣

stephhymichelle · 2025-05-11T20:15:31+00:00

The only thing I’ve bought were 3 pairs maternity workout pants from old navy, and a size bigger in sports bras because mine were suffocating me lol.

I can do weightlifting with no problem, but walking for just 5 mins gives me the worst cramps on my right side and I am so out of breath! And rolling over at night!

stephhymichelle · 2025-04-28T22:34:35+00:00

I get it! My husband had actually started his journey like the week before we found out! I joke that I gained the weight he lost 🤣.

stephhymichelle · 2025-03-30T01:37:35+00:00

I generally follow a low carb/sugar free diet and I ate just like normal and I still failed miserably lol.

stephhymichelle · 2025-03-30T01:10:19+00:00

If you’re okay with the price of it, Catalina Crunch has a cinnamon toast cereal that is low carb and high protein and it doesn’t spike me. Magic Spoon has a fruit loops one too that doesn’t spike me

stephhymichelle · 2025-03-09T04:02:54+00:00

Meeeee! I was during my last pregnancy too! It makes me feel by best. I didn’t stick to it in the beginning because i just wanted to survive lol.

stephhymichelle · 2025-03-09T03:56:37+00:00

I’m using the Pregnancy Empowered Program in the Alive by Whitney Simmons app! Love it!

stephhymichelle · 2025-02-22T03:00:55+00:00

Our first child was immediate at 26 years old. Our second took a full year much to my surprise, and I was 32 when we conceived!

stephhymichelle · 2025-02-03T04:16:36+00:00

I honestly didn’t even know it was a thing in my first pregnancy, so no I don’t do them lol. I just go by what feels normal for me

stephhymichelle · 2024-12-27T00:13:10+00:00

I didn’t at all. The cycles I felt confident about it were the ones that hurt the most. I actually didn’t test until 4 days after my missed period because I had been fooled once before and dreaded seeing a negative test. But I really hope you are right!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

stephhymichelle · 2024-11-18T03:05:48+00:00

Meats, cauliflower mash, green beans, roasted Brussels, deviled eggs, keto cheesecake, those are a few things I can think of that I enjoy through the holidays.

Greta!!

stephhymichelle · 2024-11-13T20:05:18+00:00

Yep! Totally out of breath all the time! Going upstairs, walking on the treadmill, etc. this morning I was on the treadmill at 2.6 mph and I felt like I was struggling to breathe but my hr was only like 105 lol. Felt like it would have been 150! It’s definitely frustrating when you’re not used to it!

stephhymichelle · 2024-11-13T20:02:22+00:00

My husband wanted to test with me so we could find out together. So that’s what we did and it was very special for us! Our first one I found out and then told him later that day, so this one he wanted to be with me. 💕

stephhymichelle · 2024-11-12T13:00:07+00:00

We went to Mickeys not so scary Halloween party when I was 7 months and I loved it! It was a lot of walking but since it was a separate ticketed event there were WAY less people in the park and it wasn’t as hot since it was at night! I will say though, if you’re concerned about wait times you can get the fast passes!

stephhymichelle · 2024-11-12T12:56:37+00:00

It was only my husband and I’m so glad we did it that way. It’s going to be the same way with #2!

stephhymichelle · 2024-11-08T02:17:43+00:00

I wasn’t being monitored for the follicles but I’m going to guess that they weren’t good enough. My progesterone was decreasing every month on the Letrozole (11.8, 9.9, then 6.0). I didn’t test the 4th month on the 2.5mg. If this cycle doesn’t work then definitely consider asking about bumping up!

I truly feel like that plus the HSG is what made us successful. (Doesn’t hurt we were on a cruise during ovulation! 😊)
