TTC, Marijuana, PCOS? Not sure
TLDR: New to TTC, on month 2. Just quit a 6-year nightly weed habit (husband, too) and cut way back on drinking (yay!). Noticing breakouts, more emotional/sensitive, higher libido (double-yay!), and now coarse black chin hairs growing in two spots that I have to pluck every other day. Anyone else experience this after quitting? Should I bring up the chin hair at my OB appt in a few weeks?
Hello hello! I am new to this world of TTC. My husband (32M) and myself (29F) are super excited!! That said, we are on month 2. I hope it's okay for me to post on here, given that we are super early in our journey. We had so many friends who were successful on their "first try" that we faced disappointment last month more than we thought we would. I have been a chronic user of marijuana (almost every night with some short month-long breaks, maybe 3 times) for the past 6 years. When I say chronic, I mean, I hit a small joint (1g) almost every night with my husband. I stopped smoking cold-turkey at the time of ovulation during my prev. cycle, and I'm officially one month free as I'm approaching my new ovulation for this month. I'm feeling super anxious that I completely messed up my fertility by using marijuana so much (we are in a state where it has been legal for a long time and almost every one uses it); but thankfully, my husband decided to stop, too. We've also toned down our drinking severely, limiting to a few drinks on the weekend, if that.
I've started drinking tea and taking magnesium, and now, I never want to smoke weed again. I'm starting to notice some differences in my body, that I am wondering if anyone else here has noticed? Breaking out more (never break out, ever), slightly more emotional/sensitive, definitely increased libido (yay!), but also, I am having hairs grow on my chin??? The hair is black (like all my hair) but only grows in two distinct spots on my chin. Not a ton, but enough where I have to now pluck like every other day. On top of the breakouts, I'm just confused as to what is happening. Should I get this checked out? My next ob appt is in a few weeks.
