You can ask your doctor about the sleeping meds, if you really have to take them there might be some alternatives that don't harm the baby, maybe your tablets are okay, you just need to check with doctor. The best of luck with your path towards TTC. All my best, XXX

So many women suffer miscarriages sadly enough, some have many and still have many other healthy pregnancies. There is no reason to think you would be different.
Oh goodness I've been down the anxiety road. I was put on many different meds to treat it. Are you on anything to control it? I went through meds and different therapies to help it when it started to act up. Im sorry to hear that you have to go through that. Yes I will definitely ONLY start TTC when I'm healthy enough! So we are shooting for sept. but of course...only if I'm healthy enough!
Hi again. I don't take any meds anymore, just me and a lot of positive energy haha. Anyway, its good to set a goal, if come the date and you haven't made it, don't worry, as long as you are advancing and achieving it doesn't matter a couple of months before or after, just make sure you keep going forward and you will get to where you want to.

Hey love! Well thats great that you are off meds! Yeah well that is our goal but I was also was planning on getting a boob job now...so now that we found out you have to wait a good amount of time for TTC if you go and have a boob job. I'm torn about the whole thing....I called my future boob surgeon today to ask how long after i get them done if I go for it now then how long do I have to wait to have a baby but of course...they were closed Anyway I will keeeeep on shooting for our goal!!! Thanks hun!

Hey, just saw your post, but I was only 98 lbs when I got pregnant (I can't put on weight if I try and like you a eat anything all the time!) But I put on the weight just fine during the pregnancy (40 lbs!) and had a very healthy pregnancy and baby. But very soon after my son was born, I lost all the weight and I'm only 3 lbs from where I was before him. Some people are just smaller, but I'm sure if you get up to close to your goal you'll be fine...Good Luck!

Aw thanks sweetie! That gave me very high hopes! I'm just praying I have a normal cycle after I reach my goal weight so I can TTC. Were you having regular cycles when you were only 98lbs? I'm still on the pill and praying that I can have a cycle off of it! Fingers crossed! Thanks for the help!

Ashes, would it be worth you coming off the BCP a few months ahead of your TTC date just to see how your body is without it? At there's no way of knowing if you'll ovulate and have proper periods, is there... Perhaps you could start taking your temperature and charting too?

Hey Hun,

Not sure i'll be of any help! - Just wanted to let you know that i'm not that much bigger than you - i only weight just under 7 stone. (my height is 5'2)

When i was having chemo etc i lost a lot of weight and ended up being way under 6 stone - they had to put me on steroids to try and build me up again ( i have a lot of trouble putting on weight) I did ask the doctors if my weight would be a concern when ttc again they said that if i could get up to nearer 7 stone than that would be a healthy weight.

I now take lots of build up shakes with milk which seem to be doing the trick as i've nearly put a stone on.

Hope everything turns out ok for you hun

Sarah x

My friend drinks the high calorie milkshakes and they really help. I think she makes her own with rolled oats, full fat milk, banana and a scoop of protein powder.

I've been down the anxiety road too I was on medication last year for 6 months but I am off it now. I had councelling but to be honest it did nothing for me, its all about will power and reprogramming your responses, I found cognative bahavioural therapy worked best for me. Now instead of thinking about things and stressing myself out, I force myself into the situation, therefore forcing my brain to accept it and not fill me with the adrenalin rushed scaries! Just remember its never as bad as you think!

I'm sure you will be nice and healthy Ashes, just remember, pies are good and some people are built to be small! and don't worry about the epi, if your doctor has said its all good then its all good! I think in a normal spine they try to aim for an opening betwee the disks to get to the spinal fluid, but there are always ways and means of doing things and well, we aren't the proffessionals here, so go with it!

Hey Becca....Well I would but now I'm going to be getting a boob job and they said I only have to wait 3-4 months and then I can TTC...so I figured I might wait a little longer since the nurse suggested to get my bobs done FIRST before I have a baby. Idk...what do you think? I will def get off them soon when we will TTC! Can you tell me what taking your tempo and charting means?
