overweight and ttc

[EmmyReece]

We have a choccy lab called Bruce

I haven't had chance to talk to hubby yet as he's upstairs playing darts, but when he comes down I'll see what he says

 

[comet1234]

Awww! He is lovely . Libby really keeps me going when times get tough, don't know what I would do without her!

My husband got told August 2014 he will be drafted his first ever. It means if I get pregnant soon he will either be gone while I'm heavily pregnant or when I'm due/ little one is new born x

comet that must be so scary, I can't even begin to contemplate what it must feel like

 

[comet1234]

It is, I spend all my time with him as we share the same friends. Can't imagine not seeing him for 1 month to maybe 6+. X

Emmy...Bruce is cute! I bet he loves the water...that is a dilemma about the honeymoon....what did hubby say?

Comet...I bet that is scary with your hubby being deployed...when will you find out how long he will be gone?

I had an eye Dr appt last night after work I came home ate dinner laid down on the couch and fell asleep for the rest of the night! I was shocked when I woke up and it was 930....I don't know what is up with that...

 

[EmmyReece]

Could you be coming down with something Alex? I really hope not

Well I've just had a chat with hubby and he says we should wait until next month. He's really worried about us being in turkey and something happening, so I'm not sure what to do. In some ways it would be better to wait, but then in other ways I just want to get going with ttc

 

[comet1234]

alex: hope your not coming down with something and that it was just a well needed nap . Not till around august, it all depends what is happening in the world at that time and what the our country needs doing. If i get pregnant soon ( tightest fingers crossed!!) they hopeful would allow him to stay... i wouldn't want him to miss everything.

emmy: The plus side of waiting is that the money to pay for the holiday would not go to waste, if you could not fly and your so excited now for it, would be a shame to miss it. But i do get your frustration, i feel the same missing all my cycles now waiting for af.

Everyone else: how is everyone? its gone very quiet... xx

 

[EmmyReece]

I think what's so frustrating is that I was so geared up to start ttc in december and it was a bit of a milestone for me. But, that being said, I do see where he's coming from in wanting to wait. I guess at least this way I can have a few drinks and insist on doing the quad safari I was eyeing up too

How's things with you comet?

 

[MrsLemon]

Oh dear its so horrible to contemplate that you might have to stop ttc before you have that bfp isnt it :/

we have talked about this as we are going to a wedding in greece summer 2015 and so need to have that bfp before this time next year....

haha i don't sound optimistic do i??

Lots of people have said i wont be able to get pregnant this month as my Luthael phase will only be 11 days at best :/ so feeling a bit down...

back to slimming world to discover how much ive gained in my 2 weeks off ....

 

[EmmyReece]

hope it goes well at slimming world MrsLemon

keeping everything crossed that you have your bfp long before this time next year

15 weeks

Hi everyone, It's been awhile since I posted. I kind of just dropped off from here. I've been having a rough couple of months ttc. Last cycle was really tough for me. I was really starting to think I was pregnant when AF arrived and broke my heart. I am still pretty emotional over it and have been hitting the food pretty hard. Now a lot of girls in another group I belong to are getting their and it's kind of tearing me up. I am super happy for them but the selfish part of me wishes it were me celebrating.

I am going to get back on the weight loss wagon and finally try to get myself happy again. I am really sinking into this funk and I need to get out of it. I can't control ttc and getting pregnant but I can control my weight. I lost 70lbs before, I can do it again.

Ugh I need to stop crying. I can't control my emotions lately and I hate it.

 

[comet1234]

Mrs lemon: it might not be 11 days because you ovulated late it might push your af back keep positive!

Magic: wow!! Getting any cravings or any new feelings?

Ndtaber: great to hear from you again! Sorry you have had such a hard time ,sending you lots of positive thoughts. I have been very emotional recently too and feel like I'm in a rut, it's a hard journey, ttc, but when it happens and it will, we will all be better for it.

Emmy: I'm good thanks, still waiting for af think it's CD 108 now . Waiting for hubby next sa appointment and then my referral. On the plus side I'm starting to learn to drive again!! ( did ten lessons three years ago, but got too ill to carry on. I passed my theory but now it's been over two years and I haven't passed my driving test I have to redo it again .)

Xx

 

[magicwhisper]

yay

erm not really still crumpets for the cravings , sickness is still here though

 

[Alex1812]

Emmy...that would be frustrating...but it does make sense to wait a bit...Are you charting and temping or using opks? I'm just thinking if you are doing that maybe it will help feel ling you are still in the ttc mode and not on hold for an extra month? Maybe?

MrsLemon...a wedding in Greece? That sounds so amazing...crossing everything that you get your bfp soon!

Ndt...sorry to hear you are having a hard time...I like your attitude about taking control of your weight...I know everyone I talk to about ttc says to relax and not think about it and it will happen(easier said than done right?)...so maybe you focusing on something else will help?

Comet...hoping you get your bfp so hubby can stick with you! Learning to drive is exciting...who gives you the lessons? Wow...CD 108...so why does hubby need to get a SA to get your referral? It would seem like they could be getting you started on treatments for the pcos...

Afm...just waiting for the witch to leave...feeling good today but tired...

 

[comet1234]

Magic: mmmmmm crumpets with lots of butter. Is the sickness still causing you to lose weight ?

Alex: hubby does, I had professional before so remember all the basics. It's soo much cheaper and will have a few more professional one to iron out any bad habits I learn before a test.
Well because she is referring to a pcos specialist and fertility specialist together she said to qualify for a referral we need a sa. I asked could she not just send off the pcos early because I already qualify for that one and she said no, that doing it together is easier. I was annoyed because I could be on metformin and other stuff to bring on af. Losing weight is hard enough with pcos and she is not helping me. She just keeps saying I understand its hard and waiting is frustrating... I don't think she does!
So I took things into my own hand and found herbal substitutes for metformin etc.

[EmmyReece]

Alex, I'm using opks so as you say hopefully that is going to help me feel like we are still ttc, though it's a 6.5 month wait now

Alex - you said af showed up a few days ago? Did it finish quickly? I don't want to get your hopes up, but would it be worth testing? Sorry for all the questions

 

[EmmyReece]

Well, I had a bit of a pig out last night and regretted it as I ended up with acid reflux at 4.30 in the morning Do you think that it's possible that if I suffer from it sometimes that any potential baby we have will suffer from it too?

 

[magicwhisper]

thats good comet

no but you might suffer from it more when your pregnant

i have no idea weight wise, i dont weight myself it all depends if the midwives weigh me

good days ladies, i came across this thread and needed to comment. i didn't read all the comments, whooooo they are so many, i just wanted to share my story. i am 24 from south africa, i am 20 weeks pregnant and i am obese. i weighed 140 kg when i conceived and during my pregnancy thus far i have lost 10 kg, i am not on any diet. i didn't go on any diet before conceiving, we tried for 6 months then it happened. But my husband had to change his diet and stop drinking coffee, stop bathing in very hot water nd had to wear loose underwear, i did nothing and here we are and our baby is doing well. i have no problems thus far. so ladies, your partners also need to make some changes, you might find its not entirely you or your weight that is a problem... sorry for the essay, goodluk.
