I know I said I wasn't going to do this, but..

DH and I seriously decided to start TTC again today! I am worried about my weight, but then again, I was overweight when I had Devon, so I know I'll be fine, plus at my weight, I don't have gain so much while pregnant, atleast that's what I heard. Anyway, my blood pressure has been good for a while now, so I think the reason it was even high in the first place is b/c I was having panic attacks on the way to the doctors office....which is enough to make anyones BP go high. I just hate being in the car....but I am working on getting those feelings under control. I have been doing really good recently with not getting scared. So with all that said, We are going to start trying again, meanwhile I can still lose weight until I do get pregnant....nothing wrong with leading a healthier life!

I am on CD 19....what does that mean...I have no clue! I bought an OPK today, but I need some help with that. My cycles have normally been 6 months apart...BUT I am going to find a new OB CLOSER to my house, LOL, and ask him/her about starting Provera agian so I can have more cycles....I just need to figure out if I am ovulating or not. Hopefully the OPK will help some with that.

I hope ya'll don't think I am crazy, but DH and I just feel like this is really what we want to do. I am really excited about it!

Tara I am sooo happy for you!!! That is great!!

I have to say I am over weight right now & the only problem that fustrates me is clothes!!! BUt I found a couple of stores & I am ready to shop!!!

Next look at it this way if you have your baby first then you only have to loose the weight once!!! That was a struggle I had, loosing weight is hard enough but to do it before & after being PG is enough to drive any woman crazy!!!!

BTW I am 20 weeks & I have only gained about 2 lbs!!!!! Whew hew!


Good luck girl!! I can't wait to see ya over here on the PG boards!!

Thank you so much Krista....it means alot to me!!

Also I heard that breastfeeding helps you lose weight faster...I don't know if that is true or not, but hey it's definitly incentive since I plan to give it my best shot!

Wow, you are doing great!! Only 2 pounds so far...that is amazing! I have to look at it this way....lots of women have babies every day that need to lose weight, so I don't feel so bad. Plus I know my overall health is excellent. And I think that's what really matters.

Thanks ladies!

Krista--I didn't really BF long enough to find out with the boys. With Michael it seemed like I was losing quick, but as soon as I stopped BFing I GAINED weight, LOL!! I stopped with Devon b/c I was having horrible after pains(uterus shrinking), but I am not going to let that stop me this time(atleast I will try not to).

Good luck Tara! I have been getting the 'baby itch' again too, but i just started losing weight and i really like my job so i think that we are going to wait a year or two- but if it happens by God's will then that is fine with me too! We use no birth control so whatever happens-happens. I hope that you can get your cycles in order so that it will happen for you soon!

Good luck Tara! I'm not going to worry about losing weight until I have another too, if we decide to have another! I only gained 24 pounds with Camryn, and lost it all right afterward. But , as you know, moms don't have time to exercise. Just time to eat!
