Potential Pregnancy Purgatory

I am so healthy, it’s making me sick! I’m off the drugs. No more birth control pills (after two decades), no more wellbutrin, no more ambien. I take multivitamins. No caffeine: no tea, coffee, or diet coke. No alcohol. Not since the IUI. I’ve stopped my nightly intake of two glasses of wine. You would think I’d lose weight, right? Because I’m not taking in all those extra calories from drinking. But oh no, I’m gaining. Every day, I’m gaining more and more weight. It doesn’t make logical sense.

But with my body, alcohol kills the fat. I need alcohol to maintain my boyish figure. My body is freaking out.

I hate this interim period.
