Weight loss group??

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:33:02 -0600

Hello! I am currently doing weight watchers and am looking for ideas and additional support. I was hoping if there were other ladies on here looking to drop some pounds that we could be cheerleaders for eachother!

I am 5'8. I currenly weigh 197 lbs, with a goal of 160. I was 215 when I got pregnant but after the baby I somehow had lost weight and was 207. I've lost 10lbs with Weight Watchers but worry with the holidays approaching I am going to loose steam and give up. Let's help eachother become skinner, healthier moms or moms to be!!!!

My Journey

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:24:51 -0500

I thought it was time time I write where I am in my TTC, I am 31 years old and Married to a wonderful supportive man, we´ve been TTC now for like 18 months.

after 6 months of TTC I was Diagnosed with PCOS so my Dr put me on after 5 cycle of clomid we conceived unfortunately I Promed at 20 weeks and our baby did not survive. The Dr. could not Figure out why I PROM because there was no infection So here I am again TTC my Dr gave me the go ahead to try again after 2 cycles so I am just waiting for another cycle to start TTC and hope it won´t take long.

Does going on the pill make any sense?

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 08:58:33 -0500

I am late again with another BFN, some mild pressure/pain in my left overy though. Either I did not O &/or I have a cycst again. Going to the Dr later this morning for BW to confirm BFN & begin provera. Also to discuss the possibility of my having PCOS. I have been reading alot about it recently & I seem to have some of the symptoms. I was checked for it years ago & my BW was "borderline", whatever that means. I am just going to bring it up to see what they say.

Anyway, I am thinking of asking them to put me back on BC for the next 2 or 3 months. I am still trying to reach my weight goal & even though I do pretty well with my eating I tend to slack & avoid exercise which is getting me nowhere. I feel paranoid to exercise while TTC/not using protection- always worried that I "might be O'ing" or "what if I'm PG", ect...and then I stop working out. Thinking maybe I will be able to really focus on the weight loss with out the worries.

Anyway, just wanted some opinions & sorry so long, lol!

I'm very Sad,

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 00:27:02 -0500

Hello everyone,

After a 1 1/2 years of trying to conceive I finally got pregnant 3 months ago. Just four days ago I found out that the baby's heart stopped beating around 9 1/2 weeks. I"m so hurt I just feel like crying all the time. I can't get over it. I feel so empty. I really don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advise for me. People just tell me you will get another baby but they don't understand the pain I" m going through. Even if I end up having 10 kids I will still be hurt. I can't stop thinking about my baby.

I would greatly appreciate it if any one can give me a good advice.

Thanks,

Saarah

I would like to share with all of you my experience. I recently had a miscarriage and while in the hospital, a woman came to visit me. At the time, she asked me if I wanted her to take pictures of my baby. I really didn't but I let her anyway. I wanted all of this to be over as soon as possible. She explained who she was and told me that she was from a group of women who help other women deal with pregnancy/infant demise. I recently received my pictures and was able to look at them since I am finally ready. Boy, am I happy this group was hear to think when I couldn't. She made a mold of my babies, took tons of pics, all of them even came in black and white and a brownish color. I received a keepsake box, kleenex, teddy bear, the ring that was around their wrist, a baby blanket, free film developing and a coupon for a free bracelet with their name on it. My point to you is that having a miscarriage is a horrible thing to have happen. I just hope that your area offers as much support as mine.

TTC after Miscarriage

Trying to stay strong TTC after recurrent M/C!!

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 22:16:09 -0500

So here I am 4 miscarriages later & 3 of them being in a row. This last m/c was so shocking to me! I had a good fetal heart beat that I heard & saw @ 7 & 8 weeks...(here's my u/s w/the baby I lost recently: ) but then when I went for my CVS they told me there was no heart beat & the baby measured around 8 weeks!! I had that horrible news on 8/22...I was suppose to be 12 weeks! And 8/25 I had my d&c which went horrible...had a lot of blood loss & other complications. After my d&c I had a candle vigil for him/her(here's the pic of the candle vigil : ) & also after my d&c I ended up bleeding for 19days! I did everything I could to not miscarry, I was on all kinds of meds, but I still lost the baby in the end! This has been so hard to stay strong & positive that I will get & stay pregnant...that not every BFP will end in M/C...I'm just so scared when I TTC now...that I'll never be able to have a baby w/my dh! It's a rough road on the journey to motherhood I keep praying that I'll get to hold my baby in my arms 1 day. I'm so tired of the empty arms of no baby to hold, the heartache,the cramps left right after m/c as a reminder, the feeling of being hopless because you feel like giving up TTC. Well here I am now waiting for AF after having 1 BFP on 9/24(here's a pic of that evap line bfp: ) & nothing but BFN after that so I assume it was an evap line...I'm tempted to give up, but w/the probs I have @ my age now I just know they will just get worse later when I try again when I'm older & I want my daughter to be close in age w/her future sibs. Well...I'm try so hard to belive I will have a baby w/my dh 1 day... I'll keep you all posted how things go for me & I could use some encouragement & prayers!

A loss I have never known

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:20:01 -0500

Yesterday I find out that I misscarried at 5 weeks. Nobody around me understands the hurt. I have four healthy children already, so "embrace what you do have" they keep saying. I love my children, I have two boys ages, 16 and 14, and two girls ages 12years and 11 "months". Big age span, right. I had a tubal reversal in October 2006, and got pregnant in February 2007, and had a healthy baby girl. We wanted one more, a sibling close in age to the baby, I was so happy on our two year anniversary, September 9, to tell my husband we were expecting again. He was so happy. But yesterday the news came in that my hcg levles were too low and starting to go down even lower, I am in the process now of the misscarriage. The pain is nearly unbearable, and nobody gets it because I have 4 children already. Am I being dramatic to grieve when I have so much to be thankful for?

Hard Decision

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:48:21 -0500

I had an appointment with my OBGYN yesterday to discuss my irregular periods (coming every 2 weeks) and fertility (since we've been TTC for 3 years). The appointment went horribly ladies... I feel like a horrible person for wanting to get pregnant now. I left there feeling like I would be a horrible mom. :(

She said that she doesn't want to see me pregnant right now. I should get on birth control for a year or two so I could have time to lose weight, get my blood pressure under control (it's being controlled well right now), and she said I have plenty of time (even after I told her that we've been trying for 3 years).

She said I could do whatever I want, but basically she isn't going to help me. All she is willing to do is put me on birth control to control my every 2 week stupid period. I just got into the car after the appoitment and left, didn't tell my husband how it went or anything. Now I'm trying to decide if I really would be a bad mom getting pregnant... Or if I should just give up and go on birth control for a year or two... Heartbreaking.

This is the 3rd doctor to tell me the same thing and refuse to help. I'm so upset. I just want to curl up in a ball, lock myself in my room, and stay there forever...

Losing weight during pregnancy?

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:29:07 -0500

I am 11 weeks and 1 day today. I went to the doc last week and they found that I had lost a pound. I just weighed myself again and I have lost another pound. So in 11 weeks I have lost 2 pounds. I have been sick but not puking. I thought I have been eating just fine. I dont think I overeat but I think I eat enough for me and the baby. Im just woundering if this is normal? Also I have another appt. on tuesday and I will be 12 weeks. Will I be able to hear the babys heartbeat on doppler?

hair loss on clomid

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:31:47 -0500

Hi. My doctor has recommended that I take 100mg of Clomid for unexplained infertility. I have taken clomid at that dose everyother month and July was the third month I was on it. During the month of July I experienced a lot of hairloss, so much that my beautician noticed. Is this very common, and if so, is there anything I can take to prevent it

weight loss and looking smaller in pregnancy

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:55:35 -0500

Dr. and ladies: I am 15 weeks. At the end of last week I went from 125 (pre preg) to 130. Over the weekend I felt smaller so I weighted myself and I am 128. Lost a couple of pounds. My stomach is def. smaller. I dont even need maternity clothes as I did last week. I checked for a heartbeat this morning and there was one. Is there a concern? I have a dr. appt Thurs. Can I wait til then or should I call today?

chance of 2nd trimester loss....

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 07:30:59 -0500

I have no reason to be feeling nervous but, I am all of a sudden. I 15 weeks and still thinking I will miscarry. Lately my stomach has been feeling tender (which I think some is gas). I listen to the heartbeat almost daily w. a doppler. I have had 2 4-1/2 week miscarriages so I am soooooo far from that risk. I also have the 1st trimester fetal analysis done and everything looks good. I cannot explain why all of a sudden I am paranoid. THank you for letting me express my nerves! So, do you think I am still "at risk" with my miscarriages being so early? When did people with miscarriges finally relax????
