Support for Plus Size Women TTC #1

[Rockinmomtobe]

Hi Everyone

Wondering if I could join this group. I am 36 yrs old, been TTC for over a year now. I am trying to lose weight but everyone month is the same result, I get all sad and depressed when AF shows up that the diet goes out the window along with any progress that I made. Trying to be positive this year and take it one month at a time. Currently 8 dpo with my fingers crossed.

WELCOME! Of course you can join & we're so glad to have you!! TTC is hard...have you talked to your doctor since you've been trying over a year. There are plenty of fertility drugs out there. GL!!!



AFM- I DID IT LADIES! I know you're all so excited to read that I finally was able to use the bathroom, but I am!!! I'm not 100% better, but im getting there. Ive taken so many softeners its not even funny AAAAND to top it off this is my fertile week, so DTD has been less than fun. But I managed....believe you me, lol.

Hope everyones doing well, keep us posted

Thank you try2find, I think it'll be the only way I know for sure! I'm 3 days late and still BFN :/

 

[LlovesE06]

Eek I got cut off before, but thank you ladies! This whole thing gets quite confusing at times, I feel like just when I see a pattern start to form in my body something changes, grr lol

I think af is on her way! Damn, I really thought we'd got our bfp this month. I'm 7dpo, I'll find out tomorrow if I'm right and the witch shows...

Me too. I feel like af will be here any moment now. Stupid witch...I was really hoping this would be our month! Im 14dpo and she's supposed to arrive tomorrow as well. Fingers crossed for both of us!

Hey All..looks like a good board for me to join...29 and overweight...trying to get cycles regulated but they are all over the map..anyone here take any herbals to help regulate? I agree that when I'm working out my cycles are much better...damn Canadian winter is messing me up haha

 

[Try2findbaby]

I thought I was doing ok but I've been pmsing like a bitch! I had a breakdown in the kitchen earlier because I broke a ketchup bottle and dh said don't worry just calm down and I burst into tears and blurted out what if we can't have a baby? I got a grip a little but after but I do feel better now its out of my system. Dh and I are just going to have a lovely day tomorrow as it is his bday too! Sorry for u too mitsy - hope ur wrong, ill faint with surprise if I'm wrong about my af!

Not sure if it is ok for me to join here, as I am not technically TTC just yet, but it looks like a great group.

I'm 22, 5"10 and 235 pounds and I have no periods. I was regular when they first started at 13 but by the time I was 16 they had stopped completely, and since then I've had 2. I didn't care, and neither did my doctor, telling me to get back in touch about it when I wanted children. Well that is now, and I have an appointment on Friday but I'm terrified they will refuse to help me because of my weight

To be honest the only reason we are wtt is because I have no AF so there is no point in even trying yet. It was because of the OH finishing uni but he wants to start as soon as we can now

Can they refuse to help me until I lose weight? I have PCOS and I suspect this is the reason that no matter how much I exercise and eat well I lose nothing.

 

[PDubs10612]

They should do some sort of testing to help diagnose the lack of periods, but unfortunately, like all of us I'm sure, it will come with a dose of "well if you lost some weight..." that being said, don't let them tell you that you MUST lose weight before they will help you. If they do look for another doctor or go to a fertility specialist.

Well mitsy I have fainted and do feel a bit of an idiot as I have had an incline in temp this morning and no af as yet, no spotting which I was expecting. I highly doubt it's bfp but the longer its delayed the closer I get to normal lp length! How u getting on?

 

[DSemcho]

Update!

Have my tube dye test tomorrow afternoon (YAY!)..

And I'm starting to notice side effects with the Clomid. Migraines... And I almost flipped on my husband the other day because I couldn't find my pills and I was crying and all! And I'm crying a lot more now... DH is getting a kick out of the emotional part because we can be watching a movie and I'll start crying lol.

I am seriously freaking out...in a good way because I just got a BFP!!! No joke two bright pink lines popped up right away. No squinting or guessing needed. I can't even believe this!

My hubby works nights so I haven't told him yet. I'm about to wake him up. I can't wait to see his reaction.

My fingers are crossed for you. When are you going to test? Regardless, working toward a longer LP is good news too!

 

[PDubs10612]

Congrats Mitsy! That will be great news to share with your whole family this weekend

Welcome, so great to have you!!! I seem to be pretty regular, but I know some of the other ladies on here can help you with herbal stuff. GL!!!

WELCOME! Of course you can join! Not that you shouldn't want to be healthier, but, try not to let your weight stop you from TTC. Its a journey and being healthier is only a part of it. Thats why we're here....to talk it all out Also, PCOS can be a huge cause of problems...are you on any medication for it now?

GL with your tube dye test! Let us know how it goes

AFM Im feeling much better. OH and I only DTD about every other day the last week (which should be my fertile week ) so Im not overly hopeful for this month, but I guess we'll see. Going away for the weekend for Valentines Day which Im pretty excited about. Sometimes its nice to DTD for fun and not for a baby lol.

Happy Valentines Day ladies

Do you have a picture!!!! IM SOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!

 

[Onions]

I'm incredibly healthy, sorry it probably didn't come across well there haha. I'm on nothing at the moment, as I was told just to leave it until children were wanted. I eat really well, and exercise often with no results. I even went to the gym for 3 years and lost about 3 pounds through the whole time, and that was with trying HARD.

Its so depressing

 

[Mitsy424]

Here are some pics ladies! I still can't believe this is all happening. I hope that I'm the start of lots more BFPs to come. I'm trying not to be too nervous and I just really hope that this little one sticks.

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

O.M.G. Misty, those are THE greatest pictures and ways of telling your OH!!!! Im teary. How fantastic for you. Please please please keep us updated and START A JOURNAL!!!!

Ahhh! Im sorry, I didnt mean to imply you werent healthy! I know exactly what you mean though. I work so hard to lose weight with no results. Im obviously doing something wrong because as far as anyone can tell, theres nothing wrong with me. I feel your pain....but this is a great place to vent

That is just so amazing! Congrats! I wish I could have given my husband a bfp for valentines day. Next month is our 4 year anniversary so maybe I'll have a great gift to give him then
