Hi everyone! My husband and I have decided that in the next year we will try for our 4th child (yes i said 4th lol) I have 3 lil girls gonna try for that boy...My question is What are some things i can do now that will help increase my chances of getting pregnant later?? I am on the patch now..is it hard to get pregnant after getting off of the patch? I have never weighed 180 pounds in my life, so i am afraid if i dont lose it then it will affect my chances...any and all advice welcomed!

    Losing the weight and continuing exercise will increase your chances. With our last we tried and tried for 4 years, it wasn't until I got serious about weight loss and exercise and dropped 40 lbs then became pregnant. i continued exercising during pregnancy but not as intense and my c-section and recovery were a breeze, I was back to normal within 4 weeks and even weighed 5 lbs less than when I got pregnant!! know it was all due to the healthy lifestyle!! Good luck!!!!
