Quick intro about me-

I have been trying for over 4 years now to get pregnant and been unsuccessful.

I went to a fertility clinic 3 years ago and they refused to help me inless I lost some weight, They were really unhelpful and this made things worse for me and I put on more weight.

I went back to the clinic this year 2 weeks into jan and again they told me they wont help until ive lost weight.
So this time because they have agreed to see my in July rather than just discharge me like they did all those years ago, I actually have a chance and have decided that this is the year I must lose this weight as I approach 30!

EXCITING NEWS!!!!! - I found out tuesday night that i am pregnant :D! I was due to start fertility treatment next wednesday! (HOW IRONIC) so its a hell of a shock! They think im about 5 weeks. very early days but im going to try and stay positive and pray my hormones stay good as having PCOS can upset hormone balances and could result in misscarriage.
I really do believe this has happened because of the changes I made about 6-7 weeks ago when i paid to see a nutritinist! I have lost 53 ibs and still have another 70ibs to go! however when and if i reach the second trimester the scales are going to be put away and im just gonna eat when hungry etc.

Please dont give up your dreams ladys cos i almost did and after 4 years its happenend!

    Wow! I hope your pregnancy continues to go well and you have a healthy, happy baby. I'm currently working on my eating habits and have started exercising everyday in hopes of losing weight so that I can conceive a child when the time is right. Your post has really uplifted me. Many blessings! :-)

    I am so so so so pleased for you!

    Thank you for posting this - it gives me hope. I have a similar story as I was told that I had to lose 6 stone in 6 months or I would be discharged (British NHS system sucks). I considered all sorts of drastic options until I went to see a private nutritionist who made me see sense. I now have an action plan to lose weight and see my doctor in November for the first steps in treatments for the PCOS in order to conceive.

    Good luck - I am really really pleased for you.

    Big hugs xx

    Congratulations. I remember the first positive pee stick and my shock and disbelife that it had finally happened, so much so that we literally used 3 sticks the last being the brand that uses the words pregnant or not pregnant just because it was more real. My first ultrasound was at 5 weeks. (I was 34, obese and marked as high risk from the start) My wee one looked like a grain of rice in a little void but hearing the heart beat was like winning the lotto and walking on clouds all at the same time. I now have 2 beautiful girls ages 5 and 2, there is nothing I have ever experienced as amazing on the heart, mind and body as having these little womb buggers and watching them grow from grain of rice to little people with minds and personality plus. They are now my inspiration to reach my goal weight as I want to be around for weddings and grandbabies and whatever else life has in store.
