As everyone knows DH and I are doing this major healthy lifestyle, weight loss thing. Insanity workouts every day, totally changed our eating and trying to just generally be healthier. We are doing amazing (him 20lbs, me almost 10lbs). I am SO SO proud of him. And myself I guess.
The problem is now my clothes are getting to big and I would really like to get some smaller stuff. But then I think about how we hope to get pregnant again this summer. We are meeting with the fertility clinic again in April. So now I can't help but think this is all pointless for me. I am just going to gain the weight back and have to do this all over again after having another baby. Hopefully it won't take me 3 years again.
Help talk some logic into me please. lol
Re: Losing weight... but feeling pointless
i'm in pretty much the same spot as you (wanting to get pregnant soon) so i do understand what you're saying. but going into pregnancy in good shape will help immensely. i attribute my very easy pregnancy last time in part to how fit i was before getting pregnant (and staying active/eating very healthy during pregnancy.) i believe it also helped me in my very, very long labor.
Thanks everyone! I lost these same 9lbs before getting pregnant with DS but didn't change my eating as much just worked out a friggin lot every day. My eating has changed so much this time around though.
Part of me thinks my body needs to be a certain weight to get pregnant. haha Stupid infertile thoughts. But my eating has changed 100% so I hope that makes a difference during the pregnancy and I am able to keep it up etc.
Well, in my experience, it worked the opposite way. We struggled to get pregnant with DS1 and the doctor suggested I put on five pounds just to see and lo and behold...DS1 was conceived! So, I'm sure there is a connection with hormones and weight.

I am unexplained/slightly male factor. I am really hoping his weight loss helps him issues as well. When I got pregnant with Ds i lost 10lbs between my first and second iui.
This past fall i did an iui that didn't work. Hopefully losing 10lbs will work again! (and i am changing doctors)
