Losing weight post-delivery can be extra slow if your hormones are fluctuating. Since I had thyroid issues, my weight didn't budge until I got my levels checked and adjusted by my doctor. Please do regular follow-ups to make sure your thyroid and hormones are normal.

Track your ovulation window, usually 12-14 days before your next period. It really helps.

I know hearing medical terms can be confusing! It just means your pregnancy is successfully progressing, which is great news, even if u feel totally wiped out with nausea right now.

Being sick in the 3rd trimester is the absolute worst, I feel like a giant warm potato! But seriously, don't pop any pills without asking your doc. Just call them up, they'll give you the safest option in a minute.

From my experience, the actual physical process of conception takes about a week to ten days to complete after sex. But if you have been trying for several months and nothing is happening, please get a regular checkup done. I had undiagnosed thyroid issues which were delaying my conception, and once my doctor started me on regular medications, I conceived very quickly.
