@liza - I must say we are pretty much the same. Not thinking about TTC too much this month, I have my doc appointment next Friday which I am really looking forward to. I started jogging this week and had the most excruciating pain in what I would think is my uterine area. I hope its nothing serious, just taking it easy and slowly for now. I hope you enjoy this little break of yours. Im so glad to hear you and DH are just enjoying yourselves and not putting any pressure on the situation. Im due to ovulate this week but just taking it as it comes.

Any news from anyone else?

Hey Ladies!

@EmJ - Im sorry if we seem a little quiet... I think quite a few of us are trying to not think about TTC this month and just gather ourselves again. I would just go for it! Yes its ideal to have the perfect body weight before falling pregnant but its not the end of the world if u aren't quite there yet. I know i have read a few articles that say if u are a little overweight when getting ur BFP then just keep an eye on how much you gain during your pregnancy. If you are eating healthy and excercising then you should be just fine :) Its a very scary step to start trying and ur mind is constantly trying to see if there is a reason you shouldn't start yet. My little issue that I am constantly wrestling with is if it is the right time financially as we have been expanding our business and I have just finished studying and becoming more and more valuable to our household that Im nervous for how life might change when a baby comes along... We have accepted that this little journey we are on has taught us quite a lot about patience and the importance of handing your worries over to God and we may be taking a little longer so that we can grow and learn before bringing a little baby into our lives.

So in my opinion, throw your weight worries out the window and just keep on being healthy and excercising and see where your journey takes you :heart:

Hi everyone!

I've read many or most of your posts and so wish I could somehow give each and every one of you BFP's! Will pray with you for your babies!

I feel so crap typing this, I think it will sound somewhat vain, if thats the right word - but I'm so desperate for some opinions.

I'm overweight - eating right and getting active now so am losing some weight. But our plan has been to TTC from end of November, but after reading here and learning so much from all of you without you guys even knowing how many of us you educate :) I realised I'll ovulate from much earlier in November than we were planning (not that a week of 2 for weight loss is going to be a big gap). But now its getting real, a bit scary.

Obviously like all, I hope to see a bfp quick - but I'm so annoyed with my weight... I want to look pregnant, not fat and enjoy everything about it, even the bad days. Did anyone else have second thoughts about weight before you started trying?

And then naturally on the other side - I also don't feel like I want to postpone ttc, in case we struggle.

So trying just accept being overweight, but keep up with healthy eating & exercise and if we then do conceive now - take everything as it comes.

Would appreciate any stories or feelings you had right at the beginning before you started trying :)
