For me, being fat is birth control because when I am fat and not eating well, I never got pregnant.
Well, I recently lost 17 lbs. Now, that would ordinarily sound great, but it's just a dent in my 60 lbs. goal. Nevertheless, when I lose weight, exercise and start eating better, I get pregnant. This time I had not expected to get pregnant so soon.
I don't have confirmation. I did not take a pregnancy test, but I know my body. The fatigue has set in. The puffiness that I get around the middle is there. The nesting instincts are back. It's all too familiar and the most common of all the symptoms is a missed period and I am 12 days late...and counting.
I could be wrong about being pregnant and this could be some peri-menopause trick, but I doubt it. We shall see when I take a home test this week. I'm excited about the possibilities.
