Anyone plus size and ttc?? Want a buddy?? 2 bfp's so far

[Feelcrazy]

hi hun. its not always the case that over weight people dont get pregnant easily. im a size 26, i have an 8 year old son and a 7 month old daughter.
when we were ttc last time, it only took 3 months to get our bfp.
im currently on my 2nd tww, fingers crossed we will all get our bfp's sooner rather than later x

That is super encouraging!!! Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for sharing! This thread was REALLY starting to scare me!!!

I've been pregnant 14 times in 12 years and always been overweight

Omg!!!!!!! How many kids do you have?
You sound very fertile that's great!!!

heya all!

Im currently a size 20-22 and altough i have a regular cycle ( every 28-29 days ) i dont ovulate every month so am hopefully seeing the doctor end of jan to start clomid! Although does anyone know how this works with being overweight ? Will i be refused it ??

Would be lovely to have a 'buddy'!

hey all
only just spotted this thread, glad to find ladies in the same situation.
i am currently working on shedding the weight, just short of 2.5 stone lost so far and another 1.5 to go before my fs appt in march.
i really do wonder how much it affects our fertility, obviously it doesnt help but i cant imagine it ever being the only reason iyswim. i have pcos and fs has said i must get bmi to 35 if i want to look at ivf or clomid. bring it on! xx

Ineedaseed congrats on your weight loss so far... I was told i had pco's some years ago by a consultant who looked at me and never sent me for tests, i'd seen him because of abdominal pain and irregular periods he told me there was nothing he could give me or do i just needed to lose weight... Well 6 years later im a lot bigger than what i was then have regular Af's lp of 14 days and ovulate every month without fail. I recently asked my gp if i did have pco's and when i was tested she said i didn't... Personally i dont think weight has any affects to ttc unless it affects you ovulating, my gp is behind me 100% and has never told me to lose weight, in fact she is very encouraging prescribing my folic acid tablets and talking me through things. Obviously being lighter is better as high blood pressure and gestational diabetes is high amongst bigger people but even smaller people get that... Im all my pregnancy's my bp always went low and i've never had any problems with blood sugar in fact its better than most thinner people.

To all us plus size ttc's lets hope 2011 is our year and we get plenty of bfp's in the months to come

I have regular cycles - usually 28-31 days in length. cd21 come back as 25, need to have two further tests done as they like to see 30 plus to be sure.
my mum was overweight with both of her pregnancies and she developed high bp and pre eclampsyia and was stuck in hospital with both pregnancys for over 3 months with each. definate reason for me to lose weight as i wouldnt want that. but like you say it effects everyone differently.

sounds like you have a good doc there lisa. are they referring you in regards to your losses? xx
