should I leave this page?

[melimeli]

I love being on this fertility page... but now that I am pg... is it offensive for me to continue to post with my ongoing journey to birth.  I went through 2 years of infertility clomid iui injectables with my second daughter... I lost 100lbs and this time got pg natrually I feel for all with fertility problems but I know sometimes it hurts to hear about pg when it is what you most desire... let me know.. I won't be offended I really understand the pain

In my experience, pregnant people give good advice.  Also, it's nice to know that there is a light atthe end of the tunnel...

Women like u give hope to women like me, if it happen for you naturally after all the treaments who's to say it can't happen to any of us? It's just probably not my ime yet.I speak for most of the women here when I say we're happy for other women like us that finally get that bfp. No worries post on.

How'd you lose the weight?  I have quite a few poinds to drop also...

While hearing about and seeing other peoples children is often painful, I feel differently when it is one of my "sisters" on this page.  the struggles we are all going through bind us in a way that others just don't understand.  Please keep us posted, a victory for one of us is a victory for all of us.  It also gives us hope that we, too, may be in your shoes.

I am also interested in how you lost the weight.  I have been gaining weight steadily during this whole ordeal.  Not sure if it is stress, or the fact that my MD reduced my thryroid medication.  I am trying to destress and exercise, so I am hoping that will work for me.

did you have PCOS in the past? is that what made you loose weight? I could stand to drop 75 pounds myself....you sound like an inspiration..dont leave..

[saff]

please stay we want to know more about how you feel.

[magda_s]

melimeli, I'm jealouse but very happy for you.  I agree with all the others... yes, stay!  Like others have said, you have valuable information you can share.

errr... Sorry but what is PCOS... I keep hearing about it but I don't know what it is.

[melimeli]

Yes I had or have PCOS poly cystic ovaries.  with my second daughter I used clomid for 6 months and iui but it was thinning my lining so I went to injectables with iui on my third and last round (because of money) I got pg... I had 3 follicles and one implanted... my numbers didn´t look good and re said that it is unlikly that this pg will result in a baby ( I will never forget these words) and I was like what???  there already is a baby I´m pg the baby is in my belly... well she held on and is now 5.  
Now for the weight... I was always ¨normal¨about 140 5´6¨through high school... at about 23 I started gaining weight... I think from the pcos... I got to 298 size 28.  I stopped af for 3 years...  and the funny thing is I didn´t eat all that much... don´t get me wrong I wasn´t a saint but jeez haha anyway one day I decided enough is enough.. I was having problems with dh and decided to just do something.  I bought a bike.  And me and my 298 pund *** got on that bike everyday for 6 months.  I also did my own version of low carb, low cal and low fat.  WEll I am convinced that carbs and PCOS dont mix.  they make us gain more than the average person.  I lost 80 pounds in the first 6 months.  I was up to 15 miles a day on my bike.  My period came back and I kept warning my dh if he didn´t shape up I was going to leave him... well 20 pounds later he cheated on me and I was done.  I kept loosing and got to 185 size 14 working out in curves I lost the last 25... 5 to 6 times around 6 days a week.  I got married to a great guy and the first month I got pg and m/c but before my next af I got pg again and am now 12w6d pg!!!  I am 34.  No meds!!!  weight losss helps infertility many times.  I am still working out because I don´t want to gain a huge amount of weight with the pg.  I am not a fanatic just don´t want to start all over.  I have only gained 2 pounds and hope to gain only 15 to 20 throughout the pg.  

thats my story... I am glad you guys still want me around...
baby dust to all
