    I'm a bit squeamish with those things but given I can't go back on the pill (it really did make my depression worse and I had awful headaches) I will be needing something.I did consider the implant but heard nothing but horror stories from friends.

    That's incredible weight gain,wish I'd put some on on the pill.I'm only size 6 so also worry about giving birth because my hips are so narrow :( Friends think I'll need a caesarian and that doesn't help my fears.

    It's nice to know there is somebody out there with similar problems it can make you pressure yourself so maybe we can kick each other if either one of us starts to feel bad and blame ourselfs if it's not happening?

    I wouldnt worry about stuff like that yet. Yes you may have to have a c-section, but not necessarily even because of your size, it could be for various other reasons that would have happened regardless of that.

    Im a size 6-8 but more like 8-10 on the hips so Im not worried in that respect. But I still have a technically ''underweight'' bmi so Ive been trying to put on some weight in preparation for starting ttc properly again in a couple of months (not that Im counting down the weeks or anything :rotfl:) as I dont want a doctor using that as an excuse for me not getting pg, but I find it almost impossible. Also I was just reading QQs thing about sugar possibly causing delayed ovulation :eek: Thats normally the only way I can put on a couple of pounds - eat a hell load of chocolate! But I do have long cycles so perhaps I should just concentrate on cutting out the sugar as Ive always been small, and really eating so much rubbish has to be worse surely?? I also know someone who is a very small size 6 and shes had 4 kids naturally! And shes also got a problem with one of her hips!



    Really sorry to hear DB and BZ's news. :(



    Congratulations to mlbarret! :T

    Thanks Primmer - appreciate this. I was apprehensive about my posting when I know you are so disappointed about not getting yours yet.

    Many thanks for your congratulations, ladies. Still reading on my phone as I can't be bothered to get the computer booted. Will upload a digi pic when I can but probably won't be until tomorrow evening.

    Really sorry to hear of your mc, DB. I also passed out several times when I had my mc in Dec. I've now been told to lie down for any future blood tests.

    I've only skim-read through the past few pages and can see many hugs can be sent from me. I hope you don't mind if I lurk as some posts do amuse me as I take my 1h20 commute to and from work (particularly those of special bottom subject and the like).

    I really hope many more BFPs come soon. Good luck ladies :)

    Just wanted to ask some advice....

    For those who have been ttc for ages, how do you fend off the inappropriate questions from people asking when you are going to have a baby?
    I used to just go with the flow but now that I have been told about my pcos and know that there are going to be difficulties, I am finding it quite hard to provide any answers... and I just know one day I'll be in the wrong frame of mind when someone asks and I'll burst into tears.
    There's so much talk about babies in work at the moment and as I am the only person not with kids, but in a stable enough position to have them the focus seems to be on me all of a sudden and I'm getting the 'oh its your turn next' ' you'll make a great mum', 'dont leave it too long' type of conversations.... v. frustrating!!

    Also, because I am trying to cut lots of things out my diet, people in work are asking me questions about that (its noticeable as I'm a sucker for the cakes and biscuits that always seem to get brought into work) and now im tucking into fruit, veg and rice cakes they are all suspicious as to what is going on.

    Sometimes I just want to shout out - yes I am trying for a baby but ive got PCOS so Im desperately trying to lose weight to give myself the best chance because its just NOT HAPPENING!!! Perhaps that will just shut them up....

    Any tips on how I can get them to leave me alone!!! :rotfl:

    DB, so sorry to hear such sad news but well done for seeing the silver lining in such a dark cloud.

    I have been to visit my pregnant sister and she was so excited to show me all the baby stuff she has got. I was very proud of myself for making ahh noises and smiling while feeling like I was on the edge of tears. I will never let her know how much I hate the fact that she is pregnant whilst I am not. I am pleased for her but its soooo not fair, they weren't even trying :(

    I did buy chocolate on my way home for medicinal purposes
    If at first you dont succeed, try, try again

    Coming out of lurkdom again. We had the flu for quite a few weeks and then we went on holiday. Have been reading on my phone and there has been so much going on I don't know where to start.

    So sorry to hear about your mc DB but you sound so positive I'm sure you'll get you BFP very soon. Just take care of yourself first.

    Sararedon't worry about being a size 6 and wanting to get pregnant. I was a size 6 when I got pregnant with my son and if he hadn't have been so long (10lb 15oz) he would have come out naturally :rotfl:. The body is an amazing thing and does what it needs to do to have a baby.

    I am cd27 today and I'm not sure but I'm saying 6dpo. Will just have to wait and see but as we had agreed that we didn't want a christmas baby I've not jinxed myself :rotfl:. Am due on Sunday according to last months cycle but will be good and only test on 21st April hopefully.
