Did loosing weight actually help you conceive?

Question

I need some motivation ladies 15 pounds down by switching my diet completely and working out 1 hour a day in just a month. This weekend I gave in, I was goin to have a "cheat" meal and ended up having a cheat weekend. Gained 3 pounds just since Friday 😞I need motivation will it be worth it? Doctor said I don't have anything wrong I just need to loose weight.. have you lost weight and conceived??

Answer

Hi ladies.  Here's my story: I cut carbs except fruit, started with a trainer 3x/week and got pregnant like 4 weeks after doing that. It was via IUI with clomid. I had lost 8 lbs. unfortunately, it ended in a chemical but after trying for a year and a half it's what worked for me. So I truly believe it works. I'm now waiting to get a heavy period and hcg levels down to zero before we can do another IUI. However, I really don't think it's a coincidence that when I started eating healthier and exercising, I got pregnant!

Answer

It's ok to cheat... you deserve it! Just get back on that horse and don't beat yourself up about it. I'm on the same boat as you! Good luck!

Answer

I'm currently in the same boat. I've been following a low carb diet since the end of May and have dropped 20 lbs. I've had a couple of cheats, but overall followed my plan and have become more active. My problem is my period is just non existent. Literally had ONE period since January with spotting *sometimes*. Apparently there is nothing wrong with me other than I had gained weight. Even since losing and changing my habits I've only had that one period :( I'm at a loss.

Answer

Yes I lost 40lbs my periods regulated and then conceived my daughter within 4 months. I have gained a lot of weight since having her and once again my periods are absent and I'm not ovulating so my dr suggested a lose weight again since I don't have PCOS and all tests are normal

Answer

I would like to know myself. everytime I go in to an appointment I'm 10 pounds heavier than the last appointment. right now I only need 20lb gone to be alright,  35 to be in the sweet spot.
