    My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years now. We started fertility treatments in october with no luck so far. This last month has been really rough. My cycle wasnt going as it should and my follicles were not growing! I was beginning to wonder if I would even be able to have babies! We went for an ultrasound to see what my follicles were looking like yesterday. They have grown beautifully and the dr is hopeful that this cycle may work! The medications have made it pretty much impossible to lose weight so I have just been struggling with maintaining. Hopefully in a few weeks I will be able to report back with good news.
    Lots of hope and prayers for everyone!!!

    I have PCOS as well. I am now going through my 2nd miscarriage (cd2 for me). Ive decided that its the weight that is holding me back from carrying a baby so Im going to try to lose weight. Yesterday was my first day back in the gym and this morning I just didnt want to go. I need friends on here that will be mean and tell me to get off my butt if they have seen I havent gone! Everyone feel free to add me. I dont know anyone else who has PCOS, so Im doing this alone.

    Good luck to everyone that is trying. We will have our babies!

    I have my first child. She's 2 (3 in june). Me and my partner really want another. When I got pregnant the first time I wasnt as heavy as I am now and we we'rent trying. I was told I couldnt have kids so we didnt practice safe sex. We have been trying for 6 months now and I have had 2 really late periods making me think im pregnant. They are becoming really irregular so I dont know when Im going to be ovulating to work it that way. I have had severe depression and post natal depression in the past and I am being taken off my antidepressants slowly. Ive been told this may help? Something to do with taking these slow your motabalism which causes you to put on weight? Im not exactly sure myself. I really feel for those trying for their first and having a worse time than me. Having a baby is one of the 5 reasons to lose this weight. I'm 5ft and 14stone. With a hip problem (One leg shorter than the other). So im in a lot of pain from being overweight. I have no motivation just reasons why I should lose weight.

    I have PCOS also. In 2009 I wanted to conceive and didn't get pregnant so my OBGYN referred me to a Reproductive Endocrinologist. He put me on some medication and within 3 months I was pregnant. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter now and want to lose some weight before I try for another. I'm hoping that by this July I will have lost weight and be pregnant again. I'm currently on metformin and tracking my fertility.

    Good luck to all of you ttc. If you haven't seen a specialist yet, I highly recommend it if you are having no success.

    The hubs and I weren't really trying to conceive but we really weren't preventing it either. We got pregnant in Oct but then lost the baby in December. I'm back on here because being pregnant made me realize how MUCH I did want a child. My Dr has no problem with us TTC again right away, but I think we are waiting so I can drop some weight and make things easier for both the baby & myself.

    We are trying for our second, have been for about 7 months. The first time took us 5 months to concieve, and I guess I figured it would be the same amount of time or less. Each month I start, I am sad that first day, but I try to focus on the fact that I have one more month to focus on myself. The good news is I weigh about 15 lbs less than I did when I got pregnant with my first. Do you ever worry that you are putting stress on your body by exercising and eating less than it takes to maintain?

    I personally don't worry about putting stress on my body because I am very overweight :-( I think my body appreciates the working out. I know it will happen for you. !

    Great idea!

    My hubby & I have been TTC since the end of Oct '11, beginning of Nov '11. It's become REALLY frustrating meeting women through Fb & seeing many of my friends become pregnant, without even trying!

    Maybe we can all try to be each others advocates for getting healthier & staying that way! Feel free to add me if you'd like :smile:

    Baby dust to you ALL!
