Many of you know that my dh and I tried in late Sept, Oct, Nov and some of Dec but I was away from my dh at the crucial moment (damn). Obviously we had no luck and did not fall pregnant, however we realise that it can take some time, and that it doesn't happen for everyone at the drop of a hat. With this in mind I dont know whether I should pool all my energy on weight loss (want to lose 10kg) for the next 6 mths and then try to fall pregnant, or continue to try and lose weight and try to fall pregnant at the same time... it can't hurt to diet (diet of healthy food, minimal sugar, no caffeine) and exercise daily (min of riding 10km a day) when trying to fall pregnant, can it?
I know a healthy mother is important and I understand that I shoukd lose weight now, but my desire to be a mother is so strong and I fear that if I put it off now for 6 mths that one of those months would have been THE successful month and I will have to wait another year or so.
Also can I still ride 10km or more a day when pregnant? ↓

| i wish i could still run or walk long distances, goodluck with riding, you get so winded so easily even in the beginning.. but i think stop stressing about getting pregnant, i mean still try, but also do what makes you and your body feels good, you know.. be healthier .. also are you taking folic acid or anything? it actually can help your body into getting pregnant.. so can eating healthy, not smoking.. and i dono how you're trying but i got pregnant by having sex like 4 times a day lol .. you could also try the whole putting your legs up, putting pillows under your rear end, possibly letting him finish and masturbating so you get off and the sperm yanno .. anyways, stressing out about it can also be the reason why, like knowing you're trying and being disappointed.. i mean im not an expect this is my first pregnancy, but i would thinking just enjoying it, not really thinking about it.. just be thinking "YAY TIME FOR SEX" haha .. goodluck hun, and like i said do what you want, its your body, even if you do gain weight when you get pregnant at least youll know then how to lose weight and how much easier it will be for you yanno ↑ |

Yeah have been taking folic acid for over a year. I dont drink alcohol, I have given up caffeine and I have never smoked.
I am not vain and want to be supermodel thin, I just want to have a healthier BMI (body mass index), and fit into my old clothes. I will also eat what the doctor tell me during pregnancy, I wont starve myself, trust me.
I am not stressing out either. I am just one of those people who have lists and likes to plan ahead. The thing that does stress me is when my AF is late and we have been TTC. ↑ |

| ohh, i used to do that on the inside bikes? yeh when it snowed outside in massachusetts, i would treadmill and ride on there in the off season of soccer to keep my legs up to shape. and how long have you been ttc? and did your doctor ever tell you why you're having such a hard time? like perhaps ur dh sperm count, or something? i dono just popping out questions.. i see how frustrating it is for you women to get pregnant and its not that i feel bad, but you deserve to be able to have children. ↑ |

Only 4 mths, since September, but December was a write off as we were apart when it counted.
Coartney I saw your pics on the other site, your hair is funky, I love it each time. This may sound rude but I was wondering how old you are, I couldn't tell from the pics. You and your dh look fantastic together, your baby will be a stunner. ↑ |

| Also there are more deserving than me. Some of my friends have been trying for a few months longer than me and then there is another young couple who are on fertility treatment (IVF) and had no luck so far, I would be so happy if they were to fall pregnant, or even better for us all to fall together. ↑ |

| Well I say go for the wait loss and just hope that at the same time you fall pregnant. Don't put it off... or you'll just keep putting it off. I'm not very old but that's what we did. We finally realized that if we kept putting it off we would never find the "perfect" time to have kids. ↑ |

| Hi Ladies! I hope you don't mind me popping in . . .but you have a lot of great talk going on. I'm a mom of a 2 year old but my husband and I have been trying for months now to get pregnant with no luck. I know we should be trying everyday but it does seem like such a chore (and I enjoy sex). I also felt that I should share that I have several girlfriends that don't enjoy sex and only have it because they want kids or feel a sense of obligation to please a boyfriend or husband. I think this is pretty common. I'd also like to add that your body changes after kids and for me it's a lot easier to achieve an orgasm then before I had my son. So even if you don't like it now, maybe you will later. ↑ |

| I've lost about 33-35 lbs before I got preg (it took me about 1.5 years). I excersised few times a week at the gym. I got up to running 5K few times a week, and did lots of other things too. I started taking my prenetal vitamins plus kept a very healthy diet. I don't know how, I wasn't expecting it but I got preg right away for the first time at age 34. If you ask me, I think all that helped me to get preg fast or maybe it was just good luck. I think if you are tring to concive, even if you won't get preg right away, at list when you will it will make a big diffrence if your body is in good shape or not so why not at lit go for it??? it won't harm you, only will do good :) GL!!! ↑ |
