Looking for support

tsthomas03

Hi! My name is Sondra and I'm looking for support while trying to deal with PCOS and TTC.

Two years ago I lost 40lbs to TTC, then had multiple miscarriages, and was finally diagnosed with PCOS and Hypothyroidism. While struggling with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, I've put on all the weight I had previously lost, along with another 10-15lbs.

I just started a weight loss challenge at my gym that lasts for 10 weeks, so I'll be updating and on MFP everyday. So, at this point I would like to lose 60lbs to get within my normal BMI before I start trying again. Seems so far out of reach, but I just know I can do it with support. I'm hoping you will add me and we can support each other.

Hi, i'm in the same boat as you, I've been trying to conceive baby #2 for 5 years now, I had my dd in 2007 and she was a complete surprise pregnancy me and OH wasn't even trying. Anyway I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2009 and been struggling with TTC and my weight since then, I have 45-50 pounds to lose and hard work in an understatement. A few months ago I went on a low carb diet and ate nothing but protein and veggies and exercised 5 days a week doing weight lifting and cardio, to my surprise after only 2 week of being on a diet I actually ovulated on my own and had a period which I hadn't had in 4 years and I also lost a stone in 2 weeks, so i'm going to start that diet again today and this time not give up, you're more than welcome to join me if you want? and maybe we could support each other? :flowerforyou:
