Support for losing weight & getting pregnant!!

I feel for you. My name is Angela and I am 32 years old too!! Funny......Anyhow, I have 3 boys and am currently trying to get pregnant as well. Granted, I have not been trying for very long, but still trying. I too want to lose some more weight before it happens b/c I gained 50+ lbs with all 3 of my boys and I felt terrible afterwards. I am at a weight that I am comfortable in my own skin, however, I want to lose some more so that I don't have to deal with all the excessive weight after giving birth. I totally understand where your frustrations and goals are at. I think that if women are healthy and not very obese, they tend to have easier pregnancies, not to say that all are easier, but I have known a lot of cases where very obese women have quite a few complications during and after pregnancy. So, hang in there!! Friend me if you want a buddy!!

Ohhh! Me!!

I'm 26. I've been losing weight for a while - well, I've been STUCK for a while now..lol.. Anyway, I have about 30 I want to to lose ultimately and my husband and I have been trying for only 2 months now!

Feel free to add me ladies! )

I'm with you!! I'm also 32 years old and need to lose about 60 pounds to be a healthy weight for pregnancy. I'm in it with you!!

I am 29 and trying to lose 20 lbs so I can get pregnant....eventually.

Me too! We started trying to get preggers with baby #3 in January. Never thought it would be a problem since I conceieved my first two so easily (they are 18 months apart). But 6 months later it was discovered I wasnt even ovulating. I think its because of my weight gain.

I decided to put TTC on hold and concentrate on weight loss. We plan to start trying again in September.

Hi my name is Angela and I am looking for some friends that share my same goals! I am currently 32 years old and working on losing 25lbs. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for almost 2 years, with no such luck. Just looking for someone who is going through the same thing, since it is VERY FRUSTRATING!!! :mad: Just recently decided to get into shape since I am sick of gaining weight and not getting pregnant. Plus it helps focus on something else besides the waiting game!

I totally understand what you are talking about, and if you DO lose weight, chances are that you will get pregnant.

You might want to go to the doctor and get a physical to r/o any health issues. less than 3 months before I got pregnant with my youngest, I went to the doctor because I had GAINED 30 pounds in like 4 months on WW and going to a women's gym ( like curves). She found that I had insulin resistance, prescribed a low carb diet and told me that I was to come back in 2 months to discuss going on medication. In 2 months I went back to the doctors about 15-20 pounds lighter, AND about 3 weeks pregnant ( I found out later that week). Apparently the IR had caused secondary infertility, as soon as I dropped a little weight, I became fertile!

We're not currently trying, per se, but I definitely want to lose weight before that time comes! My current weight is what I want to be 9 months pregnant, so I'm wanting to lose 25-30 lbs.

Good luck - I know how frustrating it is. I can give you a success story....

More than 5 years ago, DH and I were TTC without luck. I decided to start losing weight (did WW and started the C25K program) and lost 30lbs. After 9 months of TTC we got pregnant and have a great little boy.

We haven't been successful with #2, but that's another story. Keep at your weight loss. It's a nice thing to focus your energy on with positive results.

Same boat Losing weight to prepare for TTC in the next couple of years. I was having anovulatory cycles before going back on the BCP and I'm hoping weight loss will help that!

Well not sure if any of you have a regular doctor or not, but if they know what is going on with you trying to conceive and lose weight at the same time, there is a possibility that they'll put you on Metformin. It is completely harmless, helps stimulate your ovaries, and lose weight all at the same time. My dr put me on it to help with weight loss and to help me conceive. I ran out and never got my RX filled again so i quit taking it. This was over 2 years ago. I was extremely overweight (280 ish) last May when I found out I was pregnant and now have a beautiful, healthy 5 month old girl. I sure wish I would have lost weight though before I had her cause I quit smoking as soon as I found out I was pregnant and gained a TON of weight!! I have also been told that 10 lbs of weight loss can make a significant difference when trying to conceive. Good luck to ALL of you ladies!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like!!
