It does help to hear about ladies who've gone on to have successful pregnancies after a series of losses, and others that are still trying and having hope.
I haven't seen a fertility specialist or anyone as of yet, as I feel that my weight is my biggest obstacle, and I'm worried that they'll say there's nothing they can do until I'm back to a healthy weight. Perhaps this is silly of me.
I just feel like I have no direction except for weight loss for now, which probably isn't a bad thing, as I've been concerned about my weight for a long time and not just because of TTC and m/c. I suppose I need to put my energy into that. I've been thinking of taking some preconception vitamins from now for the next few months, and start taking my temperature to chart, in terms of getting ready and knowing I'm doing everything I can.
We've recently seen some friends who all have young children, and while DH never really expresses his sadness over our losses, seeing him so happy playing with those children and just watching them...it really brought home the fact that..we're childless. It gave me more drive to get things right.
Hi Lisa
I was just thinking..I did lose 20kg before falling pregnant...I went to a Cohen's Lifestyle Clinic and the really interesting thing is Dr Cohen original used this eating programme with girls who were carrying some extra weight to help them fall pregnant. He found alot of his patients also had PCOS...anyway...in the first information session they advise you to 'take precautions' as they have so many girls fall pregnant while on the program. It might be worth a look? Good luck

nice to "see" you again. There is hope for you. My SIL has had 11 babies (and I know she has had one or two m/c along the way), she is what is termed "obese" and now has diabetes and still manages to have babies.
It may be an idea to talk to a dietician about setting up a program for you. I know when I went to one it really helped along with a diagnosis of PCOS as I knew I had something wrong (some reason why) that I couldn't lose weight, I had tried to diet, and I had tried exercise and could only move one or two kilos. With the dietician showing me the low gi diet and exercise and "having to report in" and "weigh in" it kept me honest and I was able to lose some weight. I seriously need to lose more - maybe I should go back to see him.......
I didn't lose any weight but I believe cutting trans fats out of my diet helped me conceive a sticky bub. I was 41 at the time and supposedly only had a 5% chance of even getting pregnant at that age, yet had 3 pregnancies in the one year (no fertility drugs were used) and the last one was successful - around 6 months after cutting out trans fats. If you haven't given it a try I highly recommend you do.
