Hello,
I just wondered if anyone else on here is trying to concieve? We have been trying for our 2nd for 4 months now with no joy (first time round i got pregnant straight away!) so decided to lose my few extra pounds and improve my diet in hope it will help with baby making! Is there anyone else in a simular boat who would like to be buddies? I also plan to stay on calorie controlled diet when pregnant so i dont put on too much weight in pregnancy (if it ever happens!) Any friends who would like to add me would be great!

    We are TTC #2 as well, but we have male factor fertility so it may take a while with some medical help... But for now we're trying on our own for a miracle! Im still battling the 10 lb weight gain from 1st...

    We are TTC with #2! I'm finally at a much better point than I even was before getting pregnant the first time, and am eager to keep on getting healthier. Feel free to add me!

    We've been trying for 7 months for our first. My cycle is really messed up after BCP and now my doctor thinks exercising regularly will help.

    Hi! Been trying IVF for 8 months. Dr changed my diet to 40% protein, 25%carbs and the rest fats to make healthier eggs. Egg retrieval scheduled for January. Hoping the diet change will help. Have lost 57lbs on the plan so far.

    Past the baby making days. I'm a doting grandma though. Just popping in to encourage you to get on your pregnancy vitamin right away so that your Folic Acid levels remain high. It's a good prevention measure for the baby to come.
