    Hi Ladies,

    We have been trying for a second kid from past 9 months.. I am 95 kgs and 5.7 height I always was overweight since my puberty. I was 80 Kg at the start of my 1st pregnancy and gained over 20 kg and only lost 5 kgs since then because i couldn't breastfeed my 1st kid due to latching problems and c section stitches never let me do exercise and they still pain for me after 3 years. My periods are a little irregular since 13 years of age i never got my period every month, it used to be once in 40 days and some times i got it twice a month.

    With my first child i didn't have any issues and conceived within a month of trying. After my 1st delivery I have had a copper T inserted for 2 years and took it out 9 months back. Now we are having sex once very 3 days and i am taking a healthy diet with vitamin supplements and also going to gym from past 6 months to lose weight but i never lost even a single milligram from 6 months. I consulted doc and she suggested a scan in which my right ovary was having very very slight Pcos and left ovary is perfectly normal. she didn't suggest me any medicines and just asked me to lose weight.

    I have been trying to lose weight since last one year with no results my diet also im taking very healthy food no oily foods etc but im losing hope on conceiving. Should i consult another doctor or any other advice for me. I just want to conceive as soon as possible because i dont want to give a very large gap between my kids and already my 1st kid is asking for a brother everyday and asking if there is a baby in my tummy and even badly crying when i say brother is not there in my tummy I have to lie to her that baby brother is in tummy he will come out after sometime. Im feeling so bad about it that im not able to give an answer to my kid properly whenever she asks about baby brother. I tried socialising her with her friends i always take her to parks to play but i think i can never fulfil the need of a kid of the same age group to play with her. Day by day im feeling very low and i desperately want another child now.

    Sorry for the long post cum vent....

    well you can ask the doc if you have any other issues.get a thorough check up done and rule out the issues.
    try to stress less.take regular walks/exercise.it is good for relaxation and you will lose weight. dont lose hope.
    there are people dying for just one child and you are aiming for a second child which shows you are better off than so many!All will be well.pray god,relax.good luck and loads of baby dust to u

    Hi,
    I conceived first time in first month of trying but it took 8 month to conceive second time. Even I was gaining weight when I was trying trying and came to know I have PCOS. After 6 month trying, doctor thought I am not ovulating normally so she suggest Clomid,estrodiol and progesterone for 3 month. First month didn't get success,but third month I used ovulation strip,sperm friendly lubricant, multivitamin along with above. I got conceived and now I am 5 month pregnant. So don't lose hope. Check whether you have thyroid,also check whether u are ovulating correctly. Also, only having IC for three days is not enough when you don't know when you ovulate.You should know when you are ovulating, based on that you should plan for IC. This may help in conceiving.

    Hi!

    With PCOS, I have little idea but I will try best to give you what I know. In my experience, Most women conceive the month they were not thinking about it all the time.

    1. Calm down relax and stop thinking about baby all the time on your head (24hrs).
    2. Keep walking without thinking about losing weight.
    3. Eat less, less caffeine (if you drink tea/coffee) Slash 1/4 out of your plate at every meal...finish dinner by 8pm max, drink lassi/buttermilk (from low fat milk) and a plate of salad (carrots/cucumber/tomato/onions/radish/beet root with sprinkle of lime juice) at lunch time 30 min before you have your lunch. please no sugars, i heard sugar can aggravate PCOS.
    4. love yourself, your body, and relax as in try to make love but no baby making sex as a chore.
    5. drink lots of citrus fruits to increase your cervical mucus that would tell you the ovulation time.
    6. please get your TSH and T3 tested (thyroid).

    FORGET about losing weight, just walk and follow strict diet, control your hunger, drink lots of water, give yourself 30 days without thinking about losing weight but keep following the above strictly. in these 30 days, NO CAKE/BISCUITS/GHEE/FRIES. at the end of 30 days you would def see a change in you.

    technical details:
    -you only have 12-24 hr window of getting pregnant every month (ovulation, when your ovary releases eggs).
    -there is something called as ovulation kit available, that will help you detect right timings. it is v imp to know the estimate time when you are about to ovulate....
    - Even if you have PCOS, if you are seeing any pattern in your cycle, you can calculate your ovulation day by subtracting 14 days from Last periods first date (LMP)
    - google ovulation symptoms, you may feel bloated (around a week to 10 days after periods), increased sexual urge, increased cervical mucus. keep a check on these symptoms....
    - no point having baby making sex chore until 5 days after periods end..after that, bring ovulation predictor kit, and start making love every one and half day for 10 days. so morning time 1 day, then next day night time....so about 10-12 times a month. then when you test NEGATIVE with ovulation predictor kit, you can stop having sex (if its getting too much of a chore). This one and half day method has helped me and many of my friends get pregnant..instead of doing it everyday or every 2nd day, one and half day is perfect thing , you need to incorporate it really well if you want it badly..

    vvvv imp steps:
    - Get sperm-friendly lubricant available in your area and use it every single time.
    - when you guys are done, put a pillow below your hips and keep your legs elevated for 15 minutes in air or along wall...healthy sperms take that much time to go up the cervix.
    I used to lie down for half an hr, using my phone to browse or listen some songs...
    -Pray :)
    - Forget about everything and be busy in your life during the 2 week wait period when you are waiting for pregnancy test to be positive. it will happen i tell you when it will it will like to surprise you so don't think about it and let it give you surprise.

    For swinging to have a boy baby, making love on the day you ovulate will be good. Eating bananas regularly may also help you, it make the vaginal environment alkaline which is male sperm friendly.....

    Hi Ladies,

    Thanks for your valuable replies...

    I have checked my thyroid levels everything is normal..Doc also thinks that im not ovulating regularly but she didnt suggest any medicine for that. She is just reluctant to give any tips to me she is not interested to talk about timing the IC even i have asked her some tips for conceiving naturally she just wants me to lose weight of 10 kgs and then come to visit her. Even i have said that i dont want to give any more gap between my kids but she is not listening. She is new to me as i have shifted to a new city recently.

    I have had scan for my uterus and ovaries which are all normal but for the right ovary which has very light pcos.

    Please suggest me good ovulation kit and a sperm friendly lubricant available in India.

    Hi,
    Check eBay for WONDFO brand ovulation strips and pregnancy test strips. You will get around 50 ovulation strip and 10 pregnancy test strips. You can start using OS from day 7, take a paper note down when you using the OS strip and time. Do it daily till you ovulate. Once you see faint second line in OS have IC every other day. For best , start having IC from day 5 and have IC every other day. But when you see second line in OS, you can try daily for next three days. You should have IC on ovulation date( full dark second line in OS). Once you ovulate, have one more IC after one day. That's it. After IC, place a pillow under ur hip and keep ur leg straight or lean on wall for sometime. I bought mensural cup,so after IC I placed the cup inside so it hold sperm inside for long and we can walk after placing it to. But I stayed for 1/2 hour and kept cup inside for full night. No leakage. For lubricant,i got PRE-SEED from eBay, it s sperm friendly. Other lubricant like saliva or oil,have acidic value which may kill the sperm so use sperm friendly lubricant. When I was trying to conceive,I came to know what I should to conceive but worried to invest but when time flying and elder expecting sibling, last cycle I invested more and bought all( ovulation strip,pre-seed, mensural cup,multivitamin (suggest by doctor),).
    I know how stressful it will be when we know we have to conceive soon so that elder one get a sibling .every month watching out ovulation time ,having IC and checking for pregnancy symptoms for tiresome .
    1. When you get period, take a note and note down when you had period and caluculate roughly when you may ovulate.
    2. From day 5, start using ovulation strip, take body temperature and also check your cervical mucus without fail.
    3. Note down each reading daily in a note.
    4. Stick the strips in a paper with date and time on it.
    5. Have IC as said.
    During this period, mind will be very stressful for both ,so go for a walk daily. Spend time together and enjoy the process. Stress will make the conceiving process more difficult.
    All the best.

    Your doc is concerned about your weight. That's why din suggest you any other things. Pregnancy with over weight will cause much more troubles than you could think.
    Try to modify your exercise routine and diet, I think current routine is not helping in reducing but avoids gaining more. Give it a try with little more intense attempts of weight loss.
    Like other ilites suggested, you can try for baby all along. Hope things will fall in place in time.
    Baby dust to you.

    -If your TSH is more than 3.5 then it is the main reason for not losing weight, indian doctors consider 5.0 as normal while OB/GYNs here in USA consider 5.0 as low for conceiving a baby. Make sure its below 3.5.
    - In my previous post, I gave you tips in detail on how to time your IC..please re-read it..
    -as per your post, you dont have severe case of PCOS..so follow natural method
    - I will agree with your doctor of not giving you any medicine for ovulation. you might be young, ovulation tablets are hormones..playing around with them is like playing with fire in women of reproductive age....why mess with it when you can conceive naturally
    -PRE-SEED is best lubricant for conceiving. without it I cannot assure you of success
    -go to any store and ask for ovulation kit,, someone here suggested wondfo which i used also but with pcos they will give positive for multiple days in row....Something to note: your basal body temperature (BBT) will increase by 0.4 degrees a day AFTER you have ovulated....its measured by a special thermometer which shows temperature with 2 decimal points, it may be costly, I never used it because for BBT measurement to be accurate you need to measure it every morning before waking up lying in bed, at the SAME TIME. this was not possible for me with a toddler around, my sleep patterns vary a lot...something to consider if yourperiods are not that regular...
    I vouch highly for ovulation kit, checking your cervical mucus and one and half day method. (plz make sure your DH is not relieving himself by other ways, sorry too much information but needed to tell you that the one and half day method is successful only because men need that much time to rebuild their store of sperms). your DH diet also needs consideration, you can google that mostly if you get dates, give him with milk..and of course, banana is good for conceiving for men as well..

    Hi Rams,
    Seems like your doctor is very much concerns about your, pregnancy with over weight can cause serious problems, so i suggest you to undergo i healthy diet, which can be suggested by a dietitian, there are plenty of registered dietitian in Dubai consult any of them and after you achived a health wight then you can go for a fertility treatment.

    I suggest MS.LUBNA ABDUSSALAM DHALANI of Aster Clinic, Bur dubai for diet and Dr. Gautam N. Allahbadia of Aster IVF Dubai for your fertility treatments in dubai.
