Yeah, girls, after two years, it definitely counts. I know because I’m currently waiting on my residency to start, so that medical degree actually carries some weight 🙂 and I wasn't saying that two years equals 100% infertility... I just meant that at least that much time has to pass before we even start talking about that being a possibility.
If you've been trying for about a year without any luck, that’s usually when doctors start talking about infertility. Actually, some experts say you can even wait up to two years before really worrying... so you still have plenty of time, honestly. Don't stress too much. And regarding the whole infertility thing, there are just so many different factors that could be at play, for both you and your partner.
I’ve been on Diane for years, and man, it really took its toll... I ended up gaining about 20 pounds and dealing with some pretty stubborn cellulite. I finally decided to take a break from them, and honestly, it was crazy—without even trying a diet or hitting the gym, I dropped 10 pounds in just two months and most of that cellulite practically vanished. But now, because my cycle is acting up, I have to get back on the pill, and I'm feeling a bit anxious. Did any of you deal with this too? How did you handle it? I know, I know—diet and exercise are the obvious answers. And trust me, I'm starting that journey because there isn't much choice, but I'm wondering if you found that dieting felt slower while on them? Also, how did you manage the cellulite once you started birth control again? I could really use some advice here... as soon as I start taking them, I feel so bloated and water-retentive that I start to panic a little! 😲
