Hi everyone! I'm Neat and I'm currently a parent of a 15 month old and am WTT until I lose at least 30 kilos (40 kilos being target weight). I had complications with my first pregnancy, I had GD, HBP was on labetalol 3x a day, Vit D deficiency and Iron def. I was induced and had an episiotomy to rush my lil man out as his heart rate kept falling.

I also suffered from PND which is under control and my husband used to take a lot of time off work.. almost to the point where he could have lost his job, just to help me.

I also fell pregnant on my 3rd round of Clomid 50mg days 3-7 (I have PCOS) and my son was born with a unilateral cleft lip and gumline. Not hereditary.

I really want another baby regardless of everything that has happened but this next time around I would like to get my health up to scratch as much as I can first which is why I have decided to wait until I have lost a significant amount of weight. My husband is reluctant to go through this again as unfortunately it had been quite a stressful time for us. I really want to be able to control my blood pressure in particular all by myself and to be a healthy weight after I give birth the second time around.

So..... I'm thinking I would like to start TTC probably around June(ish) if my plans pan out the way that I would like to... and on that note, If I am able to get my weight down to what I want it to be, I would like to try naturally for at least 6 months before using Clomid again.

So yeah, just dropping a line to say hi and what my plans are :) So hi :happydance::happydance:
 
Hi,

It's like I could have written your post myself (except I have to wait long to TTC). I have a 16 month old, I have PCOS, and I had Gestational Diabetes and PND. I am hoping to TTC for #2 as well regardless of the difficult time I had with my first. I also want to lose weight before TTC and I need to lose about 70 pounds to be at my target weight (that's almost 32 kg) and I am starting my work on that goal next week when I see a dietician for nutritional counseling. If the nutritional counseling isn't successful, I plan on looking into surgical options; I'm tired of being obese and losing weight makes PCOS more manageable and increases fertility!

Unfortunately, I have to wait until I'm finished graduate school in about a year and a half to TTC.
 
Hi Neat :). I am WTT for a few reasons, but one of them is definitely my health. My body is not where it needs to be to have a baby, so I am working on losing weight through exercise (Wii fit and running) and eating more in general (how stupid is it that I don't eat enough so I can't lose weight!). Now that the new year is started, I hope to be able to get to the thyroid doctor to get that taken care of. I want to lose about 80 pounds total, but at least 40 or so pounds before TTC.
