I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 23 and was told by my gyno that unless I lost approx 50lbs the chances of ever getting preggers was slim to none. Keep in mind I'm 5'8 and weigh right at 250lbs. I'm active, and my weight has never prohibited me from doing the things I want. I stayed on the bc patch and metformin for over 3 years. Finally my hormones and attitude got the best of me and I had to choose between staying on BC or my husband lol. So we ditched the pills and patch in January 2014. We found out three weeks ago we're expecting our first child
First ultrasound was this past Monday. Hubby couldn't make it because of work, so I had two of my best friends go with me. It was AMAZING!!!!! I took a copy of the "first picture" to staples and had them make a postcard for my husband. I hope it will upload for you all to see

Hmmmm you were given congrats and some honest feedback but that's not good enough huh? I guess I should have just said "like OMGZ! You are totes preggerz!! Me too! Best preggerz 4e!"
I always wonder how the newbs who obviously need a thicker skin are going to feel when their kid says "I hate you!" To them for the first time. Probably life shattering.
I am not sure why but I feel that word diminishes the beauty of pregnancy.
Apparently this pregnancy board isn't to support anyone who is pregnant. But since I don't have children who tell me they hate me (lol), what do I know?
I'll stick to being kind, just like I tell my 15, 9 and 7 year old to be.
But again, what do I know?
Side note-- I freaking HATE when shitty docs tell people they will never get pregnant b/c of X, Y, or Z. Having a condition that makes it more difficult is not the same as true IF & I can't tell you how many women I see with unwanted pregnancies because "They told me I couldn't get pregnant!"
I didn't know I was pregnant. Almost every damn episode!
Because isn't saying we weren't hugged as children so sweet?! Golly she's so nice. Teach me more, molasses.
I'm sure this has been covered already because I'm posting without reading any further just because you pissed me off, but if you were even involved in some of the conversations this wonderful group of ladies have had you would notice how many losses we've had and how much fucking support there really is here. And to add the comment "I don't think they were hugged as children"..... Yes, since we know what common sense is and only speak the truth with scientific facts and don't sugar coat anything, that's definitely because we weren't hugged. I forgot being hugged as a child means unicorn farts when you're older (but what do I know, I wasn't ever hugged!).
Do us a favor and step off your high horse before you post again. Kthxbai.
If I saw someone speak to another person the way some of you do in real life, I'd say the exact same thing and let that person know I think it is pathetic.
Is it your right to be an ass? Of course! But I'm going to speak my mind accordingly.
And yep, my children are awesome! Not perfect, but they don't witness childish behavior from me. I never told my mom I hated her. Is that a thing? Maybe that would actually explain why it seems okay with many of you to write like you really have no concern for anyone else?
Crunchy? Why is it hard to imagine you actually care about the environment?
I guess the world is full of mysteries.
It actually is meant for moms to use as a place to ask questions and yes, support. Obviously your friends only support a chosen few, and that is pretty lame. I mean, they don't mind hurting anyone's feelings and well, this is America so they can have at it.
I just choose to call out that sort of bullshit, which is also my right.
