  I'm not plus size but I can imagine it would be nice for those who are. 

  A friend of mines has PCOS and her doc said if she could lose 50lbs, that would help tremendously with TTC.  She could essentially use that board for support )

  Honestly I think there are too many specialty boards as it is and I think it is one of the reasons that many boards seem slow these days.

  Just my random $0.02

  Yes!  Plus sized and TTC AND plus sized and pregnant.  Larger women experience a lot of things on the journey through fertility and pregnancy that are kind of unique and it would be nice to have a place to talk about them.  I loved the plus sized and pregnant board on BBC - I got a lot of helpful information about what to expect (and accept) from my doctor, where to find maternity and nursing clothes that fit, etc.  It can be a little embarrassing to go to your birth month board and ask a question like "will they be able to see anything on an abdominal ultrasound?" or "when am I going to start looking pregnant?"

  Nope, I wouldn't use it, even though I am 'fluffy' and TTC.

  I agree with PP.. I am plus size but I think there are too many specialized boards. Within our month board we had a great support for those of us who were overweight.

  I wouldn't use it.  I think being plus size is such a common thing that it is easy to find people who are going through similar things throughout the different boards.  For instance, many people who have PCOS (like myself) are plus size and have trouble trying to conceive.  I'm sure you'd see tons of people on the Trouble TTC board with PCOS.  Losing weight will generally help a person with PCOS conceive but it's next to impossible to lose weight with PCOS due to the nature of the disorder.  I agree with there being too many boards already.
