AnaMarie,

I have a solution for you! Check out my blog at gogreenhealth d.o.t. blogspot d.o.t. commercial(com) for more helpful prenatal vitamin information. You especially want to read the post called Go Green Prenatal and after birth; prenatal vitamins are here without a prescription! and view the informational teaching listed in this post. Dr. Bevacqua talks a little bit about infertility and what she did to overcome it without synthetic medicine. I also have collected information from nutrition specialists here as well. And as an extra bonus, if you are a Go Green! person, then you will love what we have to offer. All moms, please take a couple of minutes and read up on the most up-to-date information science has given us to create healthy babies. Your babies deserve it!

hey there. i had the same problem. though my husband and i have only been trying for 2years. that was still tooooo long for me. im23 and im pregnant now. after alot of prayer, i asked the Lord to guide me, if i should go to a specialist. well i went and found that one of my tubes was blocked, the stuff they used to see if my tubes are blocked also helped to open the tube, and about 3 months after that i was pregnant. im now 9 weeks preggies.Good luck

I am 24 and weigh 135 and am 5'5. I am 9 weeks prego too! We tried for a year and a half before we conceived. My cycle was all screwy too, so that took a toll! It was hard, but we made it, and we are super happy now! Don't stress about it, it is nice to lose some weight i'm sure, but it's really hard. It's also hard for us sometimes because I'm not sure what everyone elses body types are, and advice could be based on skinny mommies to be. My dr said I am fine, just need to be careful not to gain a lot during the pregnancy. Hang in there and good luck! Hope this helped...a little!

that last comment is that i weigh '235', not 134, holy moly of a difference!

An "ideal" weight for your height is about 115 pounds. Being 100 pounds over your "ideal" weight is considered morbid obesity which can pose a lot of health risks and difficulty in conceiving. One of my best friends is about your weight and height and has been unable to conceive for years, they wanted to try IVF but the doctors will not do this until she loses weight...You asked what steps to take, what about losing weight which would put you in a much much more healthier state to carry a pregnancy. Good luck!

If you had trouble conceiving before you were obese then surely you will have a lot problems now. There are many many proven risks that are heightened due to obesity during pregnancy--don't put yourself through something so risky that you can prevent -- Dedicate the next 6 months to a year to yourself and your health. You will feel so much better about yourself and knowing that you achieved a much better status of health before getting pregnant. Good luck!
