    Hi there,I am not trying for a baby, but thought I would tell my story. My husband and I got married later in life, and he is older than I am. We were married in 2007, and started trying in 2009. I got pregnant right away. Everything was going great, but at the 12 week u/s, found out the baby was really sick. I lost the pregnancy at 16 weeks. I got pregnant a few months after the D&C, but it was a missed miscarriage. We started trying again and I got pregnant in 2010. The doctor had me get an early u/s. There were two sacs, but nothing was progressing. I ended up with a D&C again this time at 8weeks.
    Ok, now for the happy part. I got pregnant in 2011, was out of my mind stressed the entire time, but had my healthy little miracle baby girl April of las year. She will be one soon! I just turned 39 so I think this will be it for us. I just feel blessed to have her!
    Baby dust to all!

    I also have PCOS. Although I can say it seems much better now that I've lost some weight. It feels like my body hangs onto every single pound though. I tried with my first husband for 18 months before getting pregant with my son on Clomid. My current bf and I will be trying as soon as we are married in Aug. He's much older than me too so we want to hurry up with the baby making lol. Good luck to all!!

    I am 30 years old and have been married over 8 years now, and no children.....yet....but hopeful...

    Your story really makes me feel better, like I am not alone. Thank you for sharing with us. Feel free to add me! : )

    I am also 30 and we've been married almost 6 years and still no baby either.

    We didn't prevent for about 2-3 years and then started ttc (going on 3 yrs). We have already done our max of clomid cycles, so now we are both trying vitamins and supplements and working on losing some weight and being healthier.

    It is really nice to see that I am not alone. I am "not preventing" a baby but not using any fertility medications. I would love a baby, but was greatly discouraged after a miscarriage and then being diagnosed with PCOS. I am hoping if I kick some extra weight it will make it easier for me to concieve. Feel free to add me I could, and would, love the support. :)

    We're not "not trying", if that counts. We have 2 boys and both times I needed medical assistance. First, it was just clomid, the second came after temping, countless OPKs, surgery to remove cysts, more clomid, and IUI with all the shots and pills that come with. Had only irregular cycles when off the pill. I'm hovering around 150 atm, but want to kick it in gear and make some body comp changes in prep for the summer. Hope to be pregnant by the end.

    I wish you the very best with TTC.

    I am so glad to see that I am not the only one going through this. My husband and I have been married since 2006 but this year at the age of 34 and at 185lbs we were finally in the position to start a family. We started trying in July after I got off birth control. In Aug I missed a period which for me rarely happens and I took a test and it was negative. We continued to try every month and in October we finally got pregnant and I was ecstatic. Then in November I started spotting so I called the Dr. who sent me for an ultrasound. The tec saw something on the ultrasound but seemed to think that I was not a good pregnancy but did not communicate that to me very well. So after that report was sent to the Dr., she sent me for blood work and my hormone was going up but not quick enough for the Dr.'s liking. I had more blood work and another ultrasound in December that was still not definitive but numbers were still going up so I had hope. On January 8th I woke up for my third ultrasound to blood in my p.j's which I knew was not a good sign. I went to the ultrasounds as and this time had an amazing tec that explained everything. I saw the gestational sac but there was nothing in it. I was heartbroken and still am. Now I am dealing with the pain and discomfort of a miscarriage. All through September and October I was also dealing with the death of my Grandmother and Great Aunt who both meant a lot to me and my weight went back up to 210lbs from 185lbs, but at that weight we were able to get pregnant it was just not a good pregnancy. My problem right now is that I am I too much pain to do much of anything but work, and even then I really don't want to be there but if I did not do that I think I would be curled up in a ball not want to do anything. I asked the Dr. when I could start working out again and she told me to start things when my body allows me to. If anyone has advice or wants to friend me feel free.

    While I have never been thin (180 at the end of high school) , the last year has been very depressing, and I am at my all time high, weighing 210, at the doctor last month. I have always wished to be a healthy 150, as I feel that weight would probably look best on my frame.

    Oh, and another note about me, I am 24, and I have a much older husband who makes me laugh every day. <3


    Welcome. I am trying for a baby as well. We are aiming to be pregnant by next year, after our "Wedding ceremony". We're married, juts never had a wedding. I can relate to how your feeling. I also lost a child. She passed at 6 weeks(after she was born) because of a chromosomal issue. Ever since, I have suffered from the same thing, just really wanting another baby. I have always had strange cycles and ovulation, but the doctors say that I'm fine. I want to be a healthy 150, though I have never been. In high school I was overweight and fit, so I didn't worry about it. Oh, and I will be 24 soon, so go us!! My husband is younger than me though. :)


    Wanted to update, which I completely forgot yo do. We got pregnant way sooner than expected. I had a little girl who is now almost 3 weeks old. Don't give up. Remember, it happens when it's time, no sooner or later.
  • We're kind of trying... My fiancee and I are both 22. He is a trucker I work in a retirement home. I found out I was pregnant over the summer and miscarried. I am currently between 250-270lbs (not stepping on the scale until 2-1-14) and would like to get around 200 before we start actively trying again but if something happens on one of the rare times that he's home it happens.
