Anyway… I am so glad I found this thread. I hope I am welcome here  |
. We got some testing done and of course DH passed with flying colors. The RE diagnosed me with pcos and wanted to put me on clomid right away. I decided to try accupunture, herbs, diet and exercise to get it under control on my own first. We are just not ready to resort to medical intervention just yet. Have you gotten any testing done to see if anything might be holding you up? Do you have long cycles/do you chart? I know just having some answers has made me a lot more positive. Good luck, I hope you get your BFP right away when your DH gets home.Quote:

I just cannot lose this weight no matter what I do. It's so frustrating. I gained 40 lbs this year and can't seem to lose an ounce of it. Quote:

I keep thinking maybe I should take a few months to try to really work off like, 15 lbs, and that maybe that will regulate my cycles, but the motivation to lose it has been really hard to come by, knowing that the plan is for me to just gain it all back and then some while pregnant. I know the more fit I am, the better chances I'll have of a nice, healthy VBAC, but I still have a reeeally hard time sticking to a diet for longer than a week or so, knowing I'm going to get pregnant again one day (hopefully). I know it could only help things if I was more fit, but I keep convincing myself that I'm healthy enough- the Dr doesn't think my weight is an issue, and I'm naively hoping to "repurpose" the extra lbs while pregnant
 - yeah, right!!One thing I think I do need to do to help everything is cut out sugar, though. I've been craving hot chocolate & baked goods, and have been giving in to daily sugar fix so often that I feel like I need it every day- I hit a point in the afternoon where I just need it, and if there's no baked goods in the house, I start rooting around the house like a junkie to find even a bag of chocolate chips so I can down a handful or two  I know sugar & junk food is bad for concieving, so I have guilt for indulging, and wind up beating myself up about it (when really it could be a lot worse- I've got my 5-10 servings of fruit & veg in check everyday). But still. I think I need to do a sugar detox of some sort...*sigh* |
Talula and BC, I have gained a lot of weight over the last couple of years too. I know that I need to put in some serious effort to lose it, but it is so hard to get back on that wagon, ya know? I have been trying to get more active, but some days its really hard to get a work out in. What I really need to cut back on is carbs, I eat a very carb heavy vegan diet. I do beat myself up over it sometimes too, especially because I know that being overweight just adds to the challenge of ttc with pcos. I am hoping that if I keep reminding myself of the goal of losing weight and getting more fit, I will start making better choices automatically. What sucks is that deep down I am not one of those people who loves to workout. I am a couch potato who likes to eat chips, there I said it! Good luck to all of us on getting more healthy.
