A question for all
I have recently come off birth control and DH and I are started to talk about TTC. I have lost 65 pounds but I am not sure how much I more I should lose before I start trying. About how much did/ do you weigh while TTC? For those who got pregnant who were overweight did you have more complications? For girls who weighed a little more did your doctor have concerns with you TTC?
TIA

Re: A question for all
I'm 5'7" and weighed around 180 while TTC'ing for 2 years. No dr ever mentioned my weight as being an issue with not getting pregnant (gyno or RE)
now that i'm 17wks pregnant, i've gained about 5-6 pounds so far and I've been told that my weight gain is normal

This is funny we are the same height and about the same weight  My Dr. never mentioned my weight being an issue either.

Re: A question for all
I am 5'1'' and was 200 lbs a few months ago when I went to the gyn asking about TTC and I asked if it was the worst thing to be my size and pregnant. He said "no, eat healthy, do activities you enjoy, if you loose 1 lb a week for a year thats a lot. do what you can and don't stress." I am now 190 lbs. I am still worried, not where I wanted to be but I have heard often that chubbier people tend not to gain too much during pregnancy..not sure why or if thats true.

Re: A question for all
I live in Chicago and my fertility center mentions BMI in the basic consultation. Here is an article from their website on BMI: http://www.fcionline.com/lifestyle-factors/bmi.html
