I have lost a hundred pds and still have another 50 to get to my ideal BMI. I am still eating right and exercising almost everyday. I will try to get the last 50 pounds off. I still have not been able to get pg. I have now started to take Arginine, PABA, Metformin, Vit C, and DHEA. Arginine, Vit C, and PABA are the new additions. The lady at the vitamin store has herd alot of good things about this combination. So do you think if I lost more weight it may help or not?

First of all, congratulations on your amazing weight loss so far!!! What a wonderful accomplishment!

I am about 30 pounds overweight & my weight has yo-yo'd all over the place my whole adult life. Everything I have read, though, says that it is better for you and the baby if you are in your ideal weight range before you get pregnant. I wish I had been thinner when I got pregnant. I worry a lot about the increased risk of miscarriage, gestational diabetes, etc. with being so overweight.

My fertility clinic told me that they do not accept egg donors with a BMI over 30, so that also tells me something. As far a s getting pregnant, being overweight causes hormonal shifts and imbalances that make it harder to get pregnant.

I think you have done an amazing thing so far, though... You should be so proud of yourself. I hope you are able to get pregnant soon!

I too had issues with PCOS and lost 110lbs in order to get pregnant. As soon as I hit a tolerable weight for my body, my periods returned and I was able to get pregnant quite easily. Maybe you don't need to lose another fifty, maybe twenty will be all you need. Best of luck and congrats on your amazing weight loss, I definitely know how hard it is to lose.

Thanks ladies is there anything else that I might be able to add to my natural supplements. I have always had pretty regular periods. Always extremely painful, heavy, nausea, diarrhea, and so on. They did a lap 4 months later I was pg after years of trying and treatment. We have been wanting another and for at least 6 months my DD keeps asking where is her brother or sister. She is still too young to understand. They just did another lap at the end of Jan and hope with slow but steady weight loss and natural supplements it will happen before my DH leaves.
