Having a break

[StormAngel]

Hi all,

I have decided to give TTC a rest for a while :o
My reason is that i jumped on my mums scales last week (i don't own any) and found that i'm 20kgs over my pre- #4 baby weight :eek: I never realised until i weighed myself!

My thinking is that if i fall pregnant again, at the end of 9 months i will have even more weight to lose, on top of what i already need to!
Does this make any sense!

But i am planning to be back in march to TTC!

[Peaceangels]

It makes perfect sense!

March is not that far away anyway and what a nice goal to work towards.

Good luck!!

[JATS]

Good luck, hopefuly it won't take long and you'll be back!

Hey Jo,

Good luck with your goal to lose some weight... but my guess is that as soon as you stop thinking about getting pregnant, you'll get pregnant! :p

And if not, March will be here before you know it... scarily close actually! :eek: :)

[StormAngel]

Thanks girls,

I just can't beleive that i never noticed how big i had got, oh well, i guess in my case it just like, whats the saying "ignorance is bliss"?

Hopefully once i lose a bit, TTC might happen a bit quicker!

[Hokey Pokey]

Sounds like a good idea. Good luck with loosing some weight, you will feel so much better and healthier :D

Good luck Jo,

March will be here before you know it and all the girls in the ttc thread will be there to welcome you back.

Hi Jo they say loosing weight will help you become fertile. I am not sure how heavy you are talking, but I was 79kgs 168cm tall when I conceived, and I thought initially it might cause a problem but it didn't thank god. Hope all goes well for you.

Best wishes.

With a bit of luck, when i start TTC in march again, all those ladies in the TTC thread will be pregnant! LOL!

Hi Jo!

Sorry it's been a while! I've been a bit slack!

Good luck when you start trying again hopefully we can catch up on all that's been happening soon!

Hey Jo- I hope you dont leave us for too long, maybe the fact that your "not offically" trying that you might get a nice suprise:) a friend of mine has just started doing that 4321 detox, thats a liquid, she said it helped her to loss 5 kilo`s in 2 1/2 weeks if thats any help to you, to get you started. Best of luck darl and i hope your back soon!

[StormAngel]

Hey all

Well i have lost 5kg so thats a good start!

Would you beleive that now i'm not "officially" TTC, AF was a week late, & thought i may have been pregnant! LOL!

[MilkOnTap]

A week! Is that WAS or IS...? Has the wicked witch arrived?

[sugar n spice]

Good luck that is what i am trying to do give myself 6mnths to lose weight and then try though i keep putting off losing it. lol i don't know why. :D

[brideofjabba]

Jo, 5 kgs is great! I have 4 to lose before i want to get pregnant again. I am taking it easy this time round though with ttc. I doubt i'll get knocked up this coming month so i have time to lose it and maybe a bit more. I've already lost 2kgs so far!

Good luck and can't wait to see you again in March!

[Dancing Girl]

Good luck Jo - at least you won't need to worry about charting, temps, cycles etc until March!!

Hope to see you back here soon!

[Valosgirls]

Good for you Jo! Your body will thank you for it and you will feel sooo much better:) and you know what they say "losing weight does make you more fertile!"

[JATS]

Unless like me you loose too much, then you got buckleys!

[Valosgirls]

Hey Amy:) Do you breastfeed your baby? I was just wondering as I know when I breastfeed I go soo underweight at one point I just looked awful:( Apparently its a trait that runs in my family.

[JATS]

Yup Thomas is still fully breastfed.

I know in some people it can put off ovulation but I was ovulating just fine until I lost the weight, that seemed to mess it all up :( looks like I did o last month but because of the weight loss my progesterone dropped too early to sustain any pregnancy :(

I do think I o'd this cycle again and my temps have stayed higher longer, so maybe the eating more has already paid off! Hope we bd'd on the right days!

[Valosgirls]

Heaps of baby to you for this month then - I hope you caught the egg:)

[StormAngel]

Ally - Yes the wicked witch did arrive, just a week late!
