Topic: Fallen off track.

So I am 38 weeks pregnant! Two more weeks til D Day! So I've fallen pretty hard, up about 20lbs; in the beginning was easy to stay on track, then I got hungry. too hungry. I'm worried I've ruined everything. I want to start getting back on track, like now. I kept blaming it all on being pregnant, now I worry I've stretched my stomach, and have fallen back into my big girl ways of eating. Will it get better? Can I fix this? Am I doomed? I'm truly scared, that I've just lost it all. & on top of that, do I even know how to get back on track? (I got pregnant 9 months post-op)

Topic: RE: Lets talk pregnancy test....

Testing early helps to ensure that you get proper care for yourself and prenatal care for your baby, if applicable. In the event you get a positive result, contact your doctor as soon as possible to set up your first appointment. For more info about pregnancy test please visit http://motherhow.com/pregnancy-test/

Dump the loser, find a man who will treat you as his equal, and if you truly want children seek out a surrogacy agency, but do your research.  You could always adopt.

Topic: RE: Anyone have trouble conceiving after weight loss surgery but not before?

If you're getting pregnant but not able-- physically or emotionally-- to carry a child, you may want to look into long-term birth control options. An IUD is a good choice, or your gyno may have other suggestions.

All I can say is I'm totally fertile-myrtle I get pregnant (  all the time )at least ( confirmed by doctors)  twice since surgery five years ago .  Carrying is a problem ... the hormones the depression the overwhelming fear of being abandoned left alone ....

I madly love  my fiancé but he is totally inappropriate for me ... I just cant carry our children to term because I'm worried so much about finances infidelity . 

How do you all do it ?

Topic: RE: Back again!

My periods were funky post-op and I had an IUD, so I bought a box of ovulation tests. Not the fancy digital ones, just a bunch of strips that you dunk in a cup of pee. They were much more helpful than taking my temperature!

Have you tried a fertility phone app? I used one called Ovia (I think?) where I could put in my basal temperature, test results, cervical mucus, and discharge. That really helped me to figure things out and it gives an alert for the few days you should really "go for it!"

Topic: Back again!

Well I'm back. I was here in 2012. My son is now 3.5 and I'm trying for baby #2

 

Tomorrow i I will be 36yrs old and I think it's working against me. I used to have normal cycles till Jan of this year when they started going to 30-33 days. :/ in March I swore j was pregnant. I had all the symptoms and was a few days late. Then I got my period. That was painful. April I didn't even try bc I didn't want the heartache. I had my period in time day 30. Last month I tried and the same thing that happened in march Happened. I was late, had all the symptoms, then got my period 4 days late.  I'm convinced I got pregnant both times and it went away. I had a very early miscarriage before my son.  I have PCOS but it's under control As is my weight and diet. But it's like this year some clock went off and my hormones went all outta whack.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice? I'm gonna start charting my temps and I bought some ovulation tests as I find myself clueless. I used I know exactly when I ovulated bc I was always on time. Sigh.

 

Any advice or....anything that might boost fertility? Naturally? I don't want to go to hormones. That is my last resort.
