Did you wait until you were in tip-top shape to start TTC? Very overweight here (50 lbs) but quickly running out of time, and not sure if I should just start trying now, while I'm also trying to lose weight. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I don't mean to be snarky but i don't think you'll be able to get pg at that height/weight...you probably need to lose some before your body will let it happen [ Reply | More ]

np: that was about a diet that increases fertility in people who have specific fertility issues. Not about being overweight and ttc [ Reply | More ]

you've gotta be kidding me. I was 5'6'' 183lbs before both pregnancies and got pregnant on the third try each time. no problems. It's not that overweight, and in any case, the myth that more weight = less health is wrong. [ Reply | More ]

I actually found it easier to conceive when I was a little over my ideal weight (but I mean maybe 5-10 pounds). good luck -- do the best you can for a while but don't expect to get down to what you consider ideal if you think you need to start TTC soon. [ Reply | More ]

Get "What to eat when you're expecting" You'll get all the nutrition your baby needs. Don't use pregnancy as an excuse to binge, and never ever put your vanity over the needs of your baby. You'll be fine. 2 weeks post pregnancy I found I was actually a size smaller then before I conceived. [ Reply | More ]
