Strange fact about yourself: I have just recently (4 months) started having regular periods. In my entire life I have never had a period closer together than 11months.
I was always told I could never concieve because of my PCOS and my weight. I have done a ton of research and I am hoping if I lose the weight it will kick start my body into ovulating regularly.
Hey there--I was told the same thing when diagnosed with PCOS so current bf and I when we first started seeing each other didnt use bc (i cant use hbc because of history of strokes) since we were monogamous anways long story short after 6 mos or so of no bc--I got pregnant (couldn't go through with pregnancey for difficult reasons) and I had the same problems with irregular cycles as well--keep trying it will happen! I had a friend who was told the same thing--she nevered used bc and after losing about 50lbs or so she ended up getting pregnant as well. It will happen have faith!0 -

I hope it is ok to join. My husband & I have a blended family. I have 1 biological child from a previous marriage, and would like one with my husband. We have had 2 miscarriages, and both were lost in the 1st trimester (around 7 weeks for both). Upon further testing, we discovered I have MTHFR and am a carrier for RA. With blood thinners and perscription Folic Acid, I can carrying to term a healthy baby. We stopped trying for a year, and about 87 days ago began MFP. My goal was to lose 20 lbs before trying to get pregnant again. I am down 19.6 lbs, and will begin trying this month. I am definitely nervous.

Hi everyone- I'm Carrie- my DH and I have had a very frustrating year TTC- 6 months of IUI with 2 chemical pregnancies, and 5 months of trying on our own with 4 chemical pregnancies- we went from "unexplained infertility" to "unexplained reoccurrent miscarriage"... Weight didn't appear to be a factor, I was overweight when I started, and am half way to my goal, but was never considered obese- but my exercising and healthy diet can't hurt, right? Well, maybe the exercise can- since my Dr can't explain the miscarriages, I am on a weird regimine of no heavy lifting/no strenuous exercise from the day I ovulate until a negative PG test on day 28... very hard to maintain a loss, but I'm managing!
I look forward to having friends who understand what this is like!
How do we actaully join the forum?

But this month the breast tenderness started the day BEFORE the progesterone, so I am a little more hopeful- but not too much- 5 chemical miscarriages in 10 months....0
