5 years without conception. I just turned 31, and I feel like it's time to get seriousl my dr told me to lose weight so here I am. I was 315lbs, currently 260. My period is really back and incredibly painful, I've had two cycles since I started losing weight in November. Is anyone else working towards their baby? Has anyone had luck getting pregnant after weight loss? Thanks!

    I have not, but sending some baby dust your way! Sounds like you've made some awesome progress, and that can only help, right? Getting your period back is a HUGE NSV! Way to go :)

    Don't give up! Infertility treatments have come so far. I had one kiddo 17 years ago after 7 years of trying to get pregnant. Lots of heartache but we finally had success. Hang in there.

    I'm trying to lose weight to get pregnant with number 2. So far I consider it a victory I can run around with my little boy better now. Baby dust to all!

    I'm right there with you! Every time I do get pregnant now I miscarry. Periods are hell. Pregnancy is my ultimate goal I'm hoping I'll get pregnant by February next year. But right now everything is on hold until I get down to a healthy BMI. Weight loss combined with clomid should get us sustainable pregnancy but we'll see. I've been going throw this for years. I feel your pain. /=

    I'm going to be 35 in about 11 weeks (but who's counting), and have been trying to focus on weight loss and fitness so I don't stress about the fact that we have been TTC for almost 5 years, though not super seriously.

    When I started this weight loss (this time) weighing 220+ lbs about 6 months ago, I didn't feel good about myself so also didn't want my DH to touch me. I'm now down about 50 lbs and feel more confident in my own skin.

    I use that, plus knowing I'll have a healthier pregnancy if I'm at a lower weight, to keep me motivated, but also to distract me that I'm not pregnant. And knowing you're not alone always helps too!

    Sending positive thoughts and baby dust your way!

    Congrats on your weight loss so far! Hugs to you and I am hopeful you will soon get that plus sign!
    I am currently 206 pounds (SW 227) and I weigh what I weighed when I got pregnant with my first. I'm right on the verge of being out of the "obese" BMI and I am waiting until I lose more weight to get pregnant again because losing weight after a baby is seriously hard.
    No matter when it happens for you, your body will time it perfectly!
