thanks Samzi - so glad you are ok now darling.

I cant begin to imagine how you guys must have felt, but rest assured, seeing blood doesnt always mean trouble.
Hey Kayleigh babes.....missed you.

go you on your periods too

although really we would like to not see them at all but.....its good that it sounds like you have a decent one on your hands.
um, mine were....fairly heavy but i didnt really suffer too much if that makes sense?? but the days i did i tried a hot water bottle, that can help. as too can a bath but the only thing i didnt like about having a bath especially being so heavy was the tampax sucking water up and then me flooding

so maybe try the hot water bottle. xx
Hi everyone,
Im new at this, and looking for some help with few things on this site and ttc.
My name is Toshea. I'm 21. I am obese. At this moment I dont know my BMI, or my weight at the matter. I have not been to the doctor in a while. Hope to go soon though. Im married, and I have been ttc since I got married a year ago on the 16th of this month. I know one reason is my weight but I know that does not mean I cant ttc. It also might be my husband who has abused drungs for years. But I dont know. Ive tried to read up on how to conceive, but I dont understand all that. Can you ladies help me or just talk to me about things...
Thanks
aha so thats how u add a quote half way through....

Hi Toshea. Unusal name, where does that originate from?
My Name is Lisa - welcome to BNB and to Tm PMA

I started this group after I started to struggle myself, tbh this group had been set up before but slowly died, but i started it up again after taking a break and some of the original PMA girls like me joined me. I am sure they will introduce themselves.
We have the following:
TTC -
Kayleigh Lou
Tudor Rose
Dawny690
BumbleB
Twinks - but hardly ever comes in here now

Other than Bumble and twinks the above girls are more Long term TTC like you.
Pregnant -
Me
Anna
3 Girlies
Samzi
Although I set this as a TTC group we all stick together so we always here if u want us. although we do get the odd quiet day


Anyway....sorry girls gonna be a bit long......
Ok...the one thing i noticed about this forum is there are many ladies that are what I call real women - I too am Obese or should I say my Drs say I am. I was a size 18/20/22 depending where i shopped pre preg. I am now hitting 20stone

but do u know what i dont care, I am happy...ish and I am reasonably healthy.
Maybe.....it might be worth you booking a well woman type appt at your drs to get your weigh etc checked out but dont ever think to yourself I can never have a child cause im over weight....ok it dont help but its not impossible.

Trying for a baby sadly doesnt always happen with a click of a finger. I started trying last august and fell april this yr but prior to that I had been NTNP - Not trying not preventing for about a yr before that.
(Happy first anniversary for the 16th

)
Can I ask - does your husband still do drugs?? if so then yes for the health of him and your future baby if u guys are serious he needs to be clean from them for a good few months I would say before he even thinks of impreganting you. time for the spermies to renew themselves.
that includes things like spliffs etc.
cut down on booze and try and get a nice healthy diet of fruit and veg, itas important you especially start to take folic acid now.....I used pregnacare as it contained the full quota that you should take. start avoiding things like pate if you can as contains high amounts of vit A which is a no no. that goes for cod liver oil tablets.
Most important thing is to not try too hard.....dont lose the loving spark in your relationship because trust me, TTC can....become a chore.
Well done for getting this far......will update more as we go on. there is never anything thats TMI. This is the best forum i discovered and I hope u are happy here.
