My decision for now..

Well as you know from my posts we have been trying to get preggos... but decided to take a break from it.  Dr suggested (although he wasn't the one who decided to pause treatement for a while) for me to lose a little more weight if I could, it might help the process.  Actually it was hubby's idea to pause a little bit, I think he thought this for us to relax..mostly for me (I believe).

Anyway... we are pausing until January and in the meantime I am going to do anything and everything in my power to lose this weight.  The reason I have not lost more is because I am not doing things right...that's just the bottomline.  I need to go back to basics.. I am HORRIBLE drinking water (or barely anything at all).  

Dr knows my struggle with weight and all I have gone through and my RNY and everything.  however he did recommended highly a medically weight loss clinic where they lose weight dramatically and it's safe and patients maintain it.  I originally made the appt for this a.m. at 730am but yestgerday I called and delayed it until 10/20.  

I really want to go back to our plan and do the most I can... when I was following the eating plan and doing an hour to an hour and a half exercise I was losing.. now I don't remember how much I was losing or how fast.  I am giving myself like 2 weeks to see how I do on my own.

In January we are going back to treatment with clomid and injectables, if no luck then we'll go to IVF and right now I don't have any plan coverage for IVF or IUI.  So in the meantime I concentrate again on my health and keep a positive attitude.. I never know what might happen.

Honestly it has been like 8 months at least that I haven't been consistent with following eating plan, drinking the water and/or execising.. It's time to keep going.

It's so tough to make a decision like that. I hope all goes well for you. Please stay on the board and let us know how you are doing.

It's a decision only you and your husband can make.  I hope to see your BFP soon - whether it's a surprise that happens before any treatment in January or immediately after the new year.  Good luck...and don't leave and be a stranger...you can still hang out and participate here.  January's not THAT far away.

 Good luck with this new plan, I have my fingers crossed for you!  
Taking a time-out to work on your health is probably the best choice you can make for yourself and your future baby... I know a few people who had fertility issues when they were heavier and were able to conceive after losing some additional weight--- I think this could really be the key!
One friend of mine weighed about 230 and could not get pregnant, they did everything right... even several cycles of clomid. So, she did what you're doing and took a break from ttc to focus on her health.... she lost about 40 lbs and ended up getting pregnant on her own. It happens all the time.

Best wishes,

TTC is emotionally and physically draining.   Get back to taking care of yourself and the rest will follow.   Nothing will get accomplished if you are strung out from the excessive hormones of stress and/or too many carbs.  Good Luck and stay around, we need both sides of the fence around here to keep it real.

TTC is so stressful and can reak havok on your health as can anything super stressful. Your decision to relax a little is one that in the end will be best for you... even if it's hard to see now. Getting yourself back in shape, and healthy will put you in your top condition to TTC in January.

Good luck on all of it and  I am secretly hoping you get a surprise BFP!

Hey, I sent you a private message.

Awww!! Well......good luck with losing your extra weight. It DOES help......at least for BEING pregnant anyway. I was SO much more comfortable with my pregnancy with Kenzie than I was with any of my other 4 that were pre-op. I would've liked to have been more normal with my nutrition cuz that part was HARD. Hopefully you will have all that part squared away when you start trying again in January! I hope and pray that you get pregnant very soon when you want to start trying again!
