No, despite my 21 day progesterone coming back negative our FS decided that I was ovulating fine (?!) and didn't want to risk multiple pregnancy so decided to put us on the waiting list for IUI witout trying Clomid first. Went to see my GP to see if she could gve me some Clomid sneakily but Gps in our PCT aren't allowed to prescribe it any more

Losing weight though and have cut out Diet coke (hadn't realised the aspartame in diet drinks could affect fertility until my Mum said something about a woman on freaky eaters who was addicted to Diet Coke and had been trying for a baby for ages, and when she stopped drinking it she got pregnant). DH taking maca & zinc and BDing every other day so very much hoping that I'll get a

before we need IUI!!!!!!!

I noticed a few people in real life much bigger than me and pregnant, but I think it comes down to a certain fertile range for your own body

Will agree with you there... as i have my opinion on that one... But you have to be healthy in the end... As some women that are overweight struggle to Conceive... but also have alot of problems in pregnancy... so im not risking that again!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, there are def women out there who are overweight who conceive but whatever my reason for not being pg is, losing weight can't hurt (plus the opportunity to get a whole new wardrobe is too tempting to resist!)!

So I went, I weighed 14st 1 pound

I was 12 stone 10 a few weeks before Christmas!! Anyway I have to lose 11 pound by the 24 Aug in order to get my next free vouchers.....problem is I'm going on holiday on the 17th Aug so I really need to get my butt into gear NOW!!! My ticker is going to be my short term goal off 11 ppounds as I need to lose a HUUUUGE 4 stone + to get to a healthy BMI. Not good.

So today I have managed 20 mins on the exercise bike - might not sound much to some people but its a lot for me! Going to see if I can do that every day, little and often seems to be the best way of doing it.

Hows everyone else today? x

I've just found this on the net:

http://www.ovarian-cysts-pcos.com/news17.html (halfway down item 4)

For those that don't have time to read it, it's basically an article about how what you put onto your body can affect your fertility i.e. creams/lotions etc. Might be worth looking into a little further, and trying to decrease the amount of chemicals we use. Also thinking along the lines of cleaning products/air fresheners etc, I like my house to be clean but think of all those chemicals weare breathing in and what they may be doing to our reproductive (and other!) organs???

Good thanks honey. I have weigh in today

. No idea how I've done but a bit worried as I lost 5 1/2lbs last week and I'm scared it might come back to haunt me.

Well done for getting to WW!!! One of the hardest things is over now - I always hate the first time at a slimming class. 11lb by August is totally doable so you'll be fine and 20 mins a day on the bike is great. I've let my wii fit/crosstrainer sessions go to sh!t a bit.

Hey ladies

Please may I join you?
I have at least a 14lbs to loose (minimum) and I need to loose as much as possible before our f/s appt on the 9th.

I've never really had to loose weight before (always just rumbled along about the same weight until 2 months ago when I ballooned)
I've gained a stone since we emigrated

Its all arounf my sides and tummy and sticks over the top of my jeans.

Tips, hints?
I'm trying to stop snacking on crap, I'm walking the 3k to work every morning and *trying* to do 2x20mins Davina workouts during the week .. although have failed so far this week

HELP ...... I hate crappy infertility, the drugs, the feeling crap and the comfort eating

Hi Farie,

Is your FS appointment on 9th July or August? There are lots of things you can do to help you lose weight. I'm a big fan of slimming groups as they motivate me week to week to lose weight and are supportive if you have a bad week.

If you don't fancy joining a group the best tips I have is to eat a diet high in low fat dairy (apparently you can excrete twice as much fat if you eat a lot of low fat dairy such as skimmed milk, fat free yogurt and low fat cheese, than if you don't - there was a programme about weight loss on BBC a couple of weeks ago) and drinking loads of water helps to flush out toxins.

Just take each lb at a time and don't beat yourself up if you have a bad week as it'll make you more likely to reach for rubbish (at least that's how it works for me).
