我正在经历试管婴儿的胚胎移植阶段，服用多种药物，身体和情绪上都面临挑战。药物让我感到头晕、疲惫和情绪化。我分享了我的感受，以及我如何应对社交媒体上的猜测和移植后的不确定性。为了保护自己的身心健康，我决定在移植后暂时离开Instagram和减少播客更新。 我最近参加了一个朋友在墨西哥举行的婚礼，并在整个周末保持清醒，这对我来说是一次积极的体验。婚礼非常盛大，我与朋友们共度了美好的时光，并且在没有酒精的情况下也玩得很开心。 在试管婴儿的过程中，保持积极的心态和寻找支持非常重要。我分享了一些应对压力和情绪波动的技巧，例如放慢生活节奏，专注于平静的爱好，以及与其他经历过类似事情的女性交流。 我还谈到了我的牙贴面经历，以及如何平衡健康目标和高强度工作。我分享了我对二甲双胍的看法，以及在备孕期间如何度过时光。最后，我回答了听众关于锻炼、饮食和生活方式等方面的问题。

I open up about IVF side effects, the pressure of social media speculation, and why I’m stepping away from Instagram after the transfer. I also share stories from a secret (and very wild) wedding weekend in Mexico, staying sober through it all, and my ongoing horse girl era. Plus, a mini Q&A on IVF, wellness, and mindset.
