    TTC means trying to conceive.

    I am as well. I'd like to lose some weight and just be a little healthier in general before beginning IVF treatments.


    TTC-Trying To Conceive

    Not TTC yet, but hopefully within the year (hopefully within 6 months!). I've been taking folic acid supplements for 2 years, been charting my cycle for 6 months, just started over the counter prenatals this month, and the hubby and I are scheduled to have our first consult with my new OB on Feb. 14th.

    I want to lose at least another 20 lbs before we actively start trying. I've read that it's best to be less than 20% above your ideal weight, to reduce the risk of weight-related complications like prenatal diabetes and preeclampsia, but I don't know how true it is (although, obviously the closer one is to their ideal weight the better.) For me, that's 155 or lower. If I maintain an average weight loss of 1 lb per week, I should hit 155 by my 31st birthday (May 19).

    Feel free to friend me if you'd like! :flowerforyou:

    Oh, also -- you ladies might want to do a search for a thread called "Fit for Future Families". I think that's where a lot of the actively TTC gals are hanging out on the boards. I've not been active in that thread, myself. I should though. :smile:

    Hey all, I am! Just joined this site today. I'm trying to lose weight to combat my PCOS, then wanna start ttc. I tried for 2 years, 2007 - 2009 with no luck, so I'm hoping if I lose some, I can do it without fertility treatments.

    Yes! I just signed up on this site today :) We're taking a two month break from ttc (we've been trying for about 14 months), and then we're at it again.

    I'm TTC as well... We have been trying since March 2010. It is a very frustrating journey. Basically the doctor told me I need to lose weight first off and she put me on Metformin to help my hormones get back on track.... Evidently insulin issues are a common reason for annovulation. So we will see if this whole process helps! :) good luck to all of you ladies!

    We are not actively TTC but plan to be towards the end of this year. It is the reason I joined MFP today and am giving this weight loss thing a serious and empowered effort this time around. The only thing I have ever wanted to be is a mom and I will not let my weight stand in the way of making it happen or of being the best mom I can be. I have 90lbs. to lose to just get in the healthy zone so it's time for no-nonsense, major concentration on my part. Glad to know I'm not the only one here with the sameend goal in mind!

    I had my first child when I was 30, and then 10 years later, at the ripe old age of 40, I had my second. Seven years of trying! Tests revealed nothing unusual, I just wasn't conceiving. Nor did I conceive when I was on fertility pills either! Finally, just before my 40th birthdayt, we got the news that we were pregnant. And people said was he a surprise? No way! You don't wait seven years for a surprise! lol

    Each of you ladies are in my prayers.
