New To Board and TTC
Hi Everyone,
I've been reading this board for a while but this is my first post. My husband and I have decided to try again for a baby. We tried a few years ago with no luck. We did the whole Clomid thing and it was such a stress we just stopped. We had lots of testing done but there was nothing wrong with either of us.
I was wondering if anyone has had this experience. I am overweight and have irregular periods but I've started losing weight and exercising regularly and right away my period kicked in. I started using my ClearBlue Fertility Monitor so I will find out in a few days if I'm ovulating too but has anyone else this experience? Have you guys found that your hormones level out and your perods become regular as you've lost weight/got into shape? Just wondering.
I'm hoping this little "kickstart" in my body will enable us to get pregnant. Anyway, it's nice to meet you all and I wish you lots of luck as you TTC. 
Look forward to chatting and getting pregnant with you all!!!!!

Re: New To Board and TTC
I have heard of weight issues contributing to IF. Being underweight or overweight can contribute to difficulties getting pg. There are lots of girls on the IF board that have been through the testing mill and fertility drugs so they may also be able to lend some support and guidance. Lots of luck to you and welcome!

I was going to say this, too. I was just diagnosed last week.

Re: New To Board and TTC
I was tested for PCOS and the dr. couldn't really say for sure that she felt I had it. I've read numerous books on the subject and I do have many of the symptoms however, I am finding that through weight loss and eating right many of my problems are diminishing. I'm hoping that my fertility problems have more to do with the weight I've gained (I use to be a toothpick) than anything else. I guess we'll see. I see my ob/gyn in August so I will have more blood work done then as well. Thanks for the posts!!!

Re: New To Board and TTC
Welcome and good luck...I know that being overweight can disturb or prevent ovulation so its definitely very likely that your weightloss could straighten out your cycle.

Re: New To Board and TTC
DH & I tried for 7 years. I do not ovulate every month and I also have cysts. However, I only got PG once I dropped a ton of weight (in a healthy way) and changed my diet to maximize food absorption & nutrition absorption.  I also began to seek eastern medicine for my everyday wellness.
It made a huge difference for DH & I.
