Default Questions?

Hello Everyone:
This is my first time TTC, and me being plus size, I am wondering if it'll happen without meds. I was just wondering if you all could tell me what your expriences are.. Like what was your weight when you finally concieved, and were you on any meds?

Thanks

I was about 215 or so when I conceived DS with clomid. I was 245 when I conceived this baby while on Repronex. My best friend was about 200 when she conceived DD without help. She was about 250 when she conceived her twin DDs without help. I know it does happen without help, depending on what the situation is. If you have PCOS you might need some help and a lot of overweight women have that. If your periods are irregular you might need some help at some point. My DH had a brain tumor that effected his sperm production (we had no idea) so for 12 years we did not get pg. When he was finally diagnosed and began hormone treatment, his numbers went up. I, unfortunately, was getting "old" and the RE we went to for DH's problem suggested meds to increase the odds I would get PG. It worked the first time with DS. It took 15 months for this baby (with one m/c). You look young in your pic so I would try it naturally for a while and if nothing happens then ask your gyn. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.

I was 200lbs, at 5'1", when I conceived without any meds. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks, and it took about a year to conceive. We conceived my son just 2 months after losing the first.
