Hi peeps,

Quick update. I decided November is my relaxation month. I am not taking ovulation tests, checking other fertility signs or keeping track of my cycle days. I am relaxing and having lots of "fun" with hubby. The past few months have been too stressful, I was putting too much pressure on this whole experience.

So, I had a few cocktails at our big Halloween party and have been truly chilled out! I'm happy with that!

As well, I think it's helping me because the scale finally budged! Only 1 lb from my 50 lb loss goal, WOOOO!!:D

Hope you are all doing well out there.

Hi peeps,

Hope you are all doing well out there.

I think taking some time off is an excellent idea. It is too much stress . . . and I think stress definitely affects conception.

Also, as far as looking for signs and tracking ovulation . . . as long as you and your hubby are spending some quality time together every couple of days, if it is going to happen it will happen.

I am sending more babydust your way and hoping that everything aligns perfectly and we can swap our delivery stories next year :tongue2:

Not sure how true it is, but my mom said she was trying to get pregnant for years.. they timed it and yadda yadda.. she said they finally gave up, and ended up going over a month without sex.. and the next time they had sex she was pregnant. She thinks it has to do with spermies 'building up' or taking a break, however you want to look at it.. and I have to not think of this as my parents!

Hi Ladies

hope u don't mind me jumping on the band wagon I am just after getting broadband at home so now I have more time to post.

firstly can I congratulate those who have their BFP, wishing u all happy and healthy pregnancies and bonny babies.

Here is my story so far...

Married since 31st Dec, with DH just under 10 years and never used protection!!!

I have been diagnoised with PCOS and have been banded since June and have lost 45 lbs (happy days)

Anyway it seems like we have been TTC for all this time and getting no where but I have decided to go at it hell for leather cause all I want for Xmas and our 1st anniversary is a BFP.

just finished AF since Tuesday so have told DH we have to do lots of BD'ing over the next few days:wink2::Dancing_sorry:

I am still over 300lbs so I know that it wil be tough but gonna try to hard.

I live in Ireland so my posts will all be at odd times compared to those of u in the US.

So basically thats me. heading to bed now, DH is asleep but he has decided that we are staying in bed in the morning BD'ing as I am usually up at the crack of dawn in the mornings even when I don't have work!

Apologies for waffling on here and also if some of my sayings are hard to understand:unsure::Dancing_wub::unsure::)

Here is hoping to lots of BFP for Christmas

Babydust to all.........

Babydust to all.........

I am so happy you are joining us :0).

There have been so many who have suffered from PCOS and found themselves pregnant post significant weight loss. I am hoping you find yourself preggers over the next year and am sending tons of babydust your way.

Happy banding as well, it has made such a positive impact on so many of our lives. I was under my TTC goal of 150 pounds, went off my birth control and within 2 weeks I had conceived. I never even had another period. Considering that I have wanted a 2nd baby for 16 long years, I was so shocked you could have knocked me over with a feather.

By the way, I love the Irish accent and my family originated from Ireland and Scotland. If you saw me in person with my red hair, freckles, facial features, and knew my maiden name, I think it would be immediately evident, lol.

What is BFP . . . I have never heard that acronym before?

Hi all,

Yeah you are correct a BFP is a "Big Fat Positive" - how appropriate is that term on a banding website!!

Heather your story is very encouraging, thanks!

Heading off home now from work, I will log on later, strange really when I am heading for bed ye are all still in work or just going home - we are miles and miles apart but yet there are loads of things we all have in common, banding and our want for a child.

Take care ladies

xx

Hi guys!!!! I'm pregnant! Auntie Flo was due today and did not arrive, so I decided to take a preg test since we are going to the Coldplay concert tonight and I didn't want to drink if there was a chance. I used one of my dollar store cheapies when I got up this morning. Did the test, set it on the bathroom counter, and turned away to weigh myself. Glanced back and saw 2 lines instead of 1 like I get when it's negative, almost screamed.....the positive line is light, a bit faint for sure, but I only ovulated 10 days ago. Due to obsessing over pregnancy websites the past year, I know that any visible line means one thing: It detected pregnancy hormones. OMG, I AM SO EXCITED and at the same time, scared to be excited. Gonna re-test with a digital test later today to be sure, but OMG OMG OMG. Praise God. :drool::laugh::w00t::laugh::tt1::laugh::tt1::laugh::cursing::laugh::w00t:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
