Hello All

I've just joined this site and I'm relieved to have found you all. I have PCOS and have been trying for a baby for a year now and have also been trying to lose weight but I have tried so many different things and have not managed to shift much. I'm starting to get discourged but in the same breathe and really getting anxious to fall pregnant.

any help or advice is really appreciated

Hi and welcome butterfly

have you tried any weightloss groups? Some of the others go but I'm just too much of a cheapskate!

As for advise, all I'm doing is trying to eat less junk and reduce portion size. Its not going very quickly, but in the past I've found when it has, it all comes back!

Well ladies.......I won't be posting here anymore.......

I went to weigh in this week and I gained 3.5 pounds!! Was peed off as I'd stuck to diet and exercised etc. Wasn't peed off for long though as I tested the same night and got

So I will be coming in to check on you all regularly so no slacking!!!!

Hope you all get your BFP really really soon. x

 

[Smurfette]

Have a wonderful 9 months

Hi lovely,

I'm doing Slimming World and have up weeks and down weeks. I tend to lose weight every other week so I'm expecting to gain a bit this week as I lost 3lbs last week.

The best advice I can offer is to think whenever you're about to eat something if you'd prefer to eat the thing or get pregnant. It's not foolproof obviously and sometimes I forget and eat without thinking but I've lost coming up to a stone and a half since May.

You also need to look at it long term. I used to be the same and give up if I wasn't shifting weight quickly but sadly 'cause of the PCOS it's just not going to go quickly.

I generally check B&B every day so if you want some support PM me and keep letting everyone know how you're doing. It's always great top get support from the girls on here!

hi everyone.
well i am trying to loose weight too.
so heres a bit about me.
i weighed in last week at 15 stone, i am 5.3 tall.
so have lots to loose.
having a lap done on 1st september as i have a polyp in my womb and endometriosis, and they are pretty sure i have PCOS too.
according to the scan i had and my symptoms too.
i am always hungry, and i mean alway.
i love fat coke and wake up craving it.(not good)
i always fancy something to eat, and tend to go in trends with my food
one week it will be one food then i will go off that and move onto a different type of food.
this seems to have always been the case with me thinking back anyway.
i am very lucky to have a 3 year old boy, but assume i did not have all these problems when i fell pregnant with him and i had lost weight when i conceived so maybe thats how we got him, but by the end og the pregnancy i weighed 18 stone, due to me eating too much and having spd and was bed ridden for the last 6 weeks.
so been to the consultant last week and he told me to loose weight.
so i am trying again, this is the story of my life, loose weight gain more weight.
but i am 36 now and really wanted another child and to be able to run and play with the one i have too.
being fat is no fun hey!
so it looks like the only way i might have a chance of another child is to loose weight, so here goes.
i am doing it at home.
changing the way i eat and what i eat.
trying to cut out the sugar and stopped the fat coke (ouch)
i have read that a low gi diet is the way to go with pcos ?
what you guys think about it.
anyone want to be buddies, i need all the hlp i can get.
thanks for reading

Hey babe,

Whereabouts in Hampshire are you? Would love to be buddies!

The PCOS (essentailly a low GI diet) is good but I much prefer the flexibility of Slimming World. TBH I'm a bit of a SW evangelist ! I love it 'cause you can eat as much as you want of certain foods and you're still allowed to eat things you wouldn't in other diets. It's working better for me than any other diet has. I go to the group every week and normally stay to the meetings which helps me.

I know how hard it is to lose weight with PCOS as do all the other wonderful girls on here so you'll be very much supported whenever you need a virtual hug or have something to celebrate!

Yay! Great pics Jacky!

Well done on all your weight loss!

[Smurfette]

Stayed the same this week, which is actually quite miraculous as I've eaten my considerable body weight in chocolate!

 

[sparkle83]

Claire, thats amazing news, well done. How long were you ttc?

 

[ClaireLR]

Claire, thats amazing news, well done. How long were you ttc?

We were not trying not preventing for 3 years with one mc, then another 12 months of proper TTC, and in that 12 months we were on round 3 of Clomid.

I suppose I should change my ticker now! x

 

[sparkle83]

yes, you should lol. what were your symptoms and prog number like this cycle?

I lost another lb, it's going slowly

 

[MissAma]

Hello ladies, nice to find this thread in LTTC! I haven't read it all but read a few pages and since I have another 43 lbs to shift to goal I was wondering if I could join you.

I'm on the Cambridge, Sole source -in fact AutumnSky -now a happily prego ex-LTTCer- turned me to it in January- and lost 106lbs so far. For anyone considering it, best thing I've ever done in my life, I'm healthier and happier after 6 months of this than ever before so roll on goal!

Best of luck to everyone on your weight loss journey!

yes, you should lol. what were your symptoms and prog number like this cycle?

I lost another lb, it's going slowly

I had loads of symptoms but never realised at the time! I had 3 nights of freaky dreams from about 6dpo. A horrible lightheaded feeling at about 8DPO, woke up after being asleep one afternoon, got up and almost passed out! Ran to the loo and had diahorrea (sorry TMI) and then felt fine. Put it down to the heat we were having. Also had really strong smelling urine (again sorry TMI) and on Monday I felt so tried I literally couldn't get off the settee, it was like someone had sucked all the life out of me. Also about 7DPO I had terrrible anxiety, I used to suffer years ago but haven't felt so anxious in ages, so not sure if that was an actual symptom. I actually felt like was going to turn up, even after I tested really!

You know whats strange though (and I hope this doesn't sound patronising at all) is you know when people tell you "just chill out!" (and you want to punch them lol) well I think it really is true! Every other month I've been stressing about BDing at the right time and in the right position, OPK's every day sometimes 4-5 times a day to check whats happening, and just generally stressing that it was never gonna happen. This month I resigned myself to the fact that the Clomid would never work for me and so thought forget it I'm going to relax, we booked a holiday to the Dominican Republic (which we will now probably be cancelling) and I didn't do OPK's, took no notice of when I would be ovulating, just BD'ed as and when we wanted to and not on some sort of schedule. And it seems to have paid off!!

The other thing I did differently this past 6 weeks or so was cut out diet coke (used to drink about 1-2 litres a day), eat more foods containing fibre, and took the supplements I listed near the beginning of this thread. Whether any of that lot helped or not I'm not sure, but it certainly doesn't seem to have done any harm!!! x x

Hello :wave:

I did the Cambridge diet when I was at my heaviest (almost 18 stone). I lost four stone and have managed to keep most of what I lost off for 2 years (give or take half a stone at Xmas/hols etc). It was definitely the best diet I've ever done, I had more energy than ever, my skin cleared up, and best of all was the fantastic weight loss - 3-4pounds a week, EVERY week (13 pounds in the first week!). Good luck with it, it's a fab diet!!
