Tarkwa, you're right - it is easy to be in denial about the link between weight & fertility. I'm just hacked off at my body atm as it's not ovulating but still insists on sending me a period every 28 days like clockwork - for Pete's sake if I'm not getting the prize don't keep giving me the pain!

I didn't really think weight could make that much difference but like tarkwa I only had to lose just over 10% and got a bfp.

If I can afford it the day before payday I'm gonna join sw on Monday, if not I'll join next week.

Awww Twinks

Good luck with joining SW Pix, you know where I am if you need any help

Ladies, I think I have my first positive opk I know a lot of it is mainly down to the supplements I've been taking, but I really feel like losing weight has helped as well and it's made me even more determined

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Woo! Now get off bnb and get with the jiggyjiggy

 

[EmmyReece]

I can't do anything at the moment as Chris is at work

We dtd the day before yesterday and if we dtd tonight, we should have our bases covered shouldn't we?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Yep, definitely

In eating a Lindt chocolate bunny and some choccy buttons SHHHHH!

 

[EmmyReece]

Ahhhh I want choccy, but got none in

Think I'm making burgers tonight with salad, then will have a bath, then I'm logging off for the night

 

[EmmyReece]

bnb seriously needs a like button

 

[twinkle1975]

I've tried the 10% thing, in fact more than 10% - alas I'm too fat for that to make a difference. (Sorry AF is on the way & I'm miserable

 

[EmmyReece]

sorry af is on the way twinks

Haven't read all the way through, waay too many pages! But just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a bit of my story. I'm 34, been TTC for 3 years and in the last 99 weeks i've been doing Slimming World. Went to see the fertility specialist on Monday just gone (15/04) and was prescribed Clomid, i just came in to the weight bracket where they were able to help. In the last 2 years i've lost 8 stone, still overweight, even with this big loss and i am still not ovulating, hence why i have been prescribed Clomid. My husband has an outstanding SA. I have never ever wanted AF to to get here so i can start taking my pills xx

 

[twinkle1975]

8 stone Mrs Ovey????? Flipping heck woman - well done!!!!!

 

[MrsOvey]

Haha! Thanks yeah, 8 stone embarrassing really! To be THAT overweight, but hey, i've done it now and it's never going back on x

 

[twinkle1975]

Don't be embarrassed - you've done really well & if I lost 8 stone I'd still be overweight according to my BMI!

 

[MrsOvey]

Yeah, my BMI is still 34! Thankfully my PCT help at a BMI of 35

 

[Pinkee]

that's so amazing! GL to you!

 

[MrsOvey]

Are you wowing me? If so, thank you x

Ok. Finally did it. Signed up for a weight loss challenge. Cost 250 aed!

Will have some help in this, talked dh into letting me have money for fitness classes. (I am the only one working in this house btw.)

Hope he will support foods buying…he was mad at me this last trip when I bought more healthy foods because they are more expensive!

I'm at 120.5 kg and 175 cm tall. My goal is 90 kg. So…only 30.5 to lose! (If you want to make it more depressing…To be the "ideal" weight I must lose 40 kg…or the entire weight of my mother-in-law! :/

My general health is just fine, no problems with cholesterol, diabetes, etc. Regular clock-work cycles. Did the obgyn work-up follicles grew appropriately, all hormones good.

Gonna focus on the 30.5.

Dh had zero spermies at the last SA, three months ago. It has been a long path, but he has finally agreed to go to a doctor and see if he can figure the reason. If he/they can't it will probably be the donor route for us (cheapest viable option). In which case…I want to be in the good weight range so that when we go for fertility treatments the weight won't be an impediment.

 

[EmmyReece]

Good on you for making a stand during your latest shopping trip. It will be worth it in the long run when your weight comes down and you get your bfp or qualify for any help you might need

 

[Tarkwa]

It's so annoying that 'healthy' food costs more!!! A packet of biscuits is so cheap, filling and oh so satisfying but fresh fruit costs a fortune! It doesn't fill you up either but does make you feel better that you haven't scoffed a whole packet of biccies!

Could DH try some vitamins? My hubs had an ok SA but after taking vits it did improve. In the UK there is Wellman Conception, but others are starting to copy so there might be cheaper ones out there. I hope it's as simple as that for you my lovely
