HI, skaerup here. I'm new to this site, the app and this group. I hope to get pregnant with our second child in the summer of 2011, but I want to be at a healthy weight before I get pregnant (BMI-wise). I also want to be more toned so that my body doesn't fall apart this time around.
I live in Denmark and I want to lose 60 pounds.

Hi Jodi,
I did IUI 8 times with no luck. I have tried one round of IvF. Will try again I'm the new year. I'm trying to get myself in a happier mind set. Loose some weight 20lbs, and have started acupuncture. I had surgery after I started trying for a Polyp and They also found some endo when they went in. For some reason I'm not producing many eggs. I'm 37.
Have you done a sonohysterogram? I recommend before you try IUI.
Good luck with the Iui. Are you taking Folic vitamins? You may also want to look into Q10 vitamins.

I lost 26 lbs and got pregnant on my own on my last cycle before strting IUI. Now I am trying to figure out what to do. I am jsut sticking with eatling healthy and light exercise. This is all new to me. I'm 37 as well. My RE put me on 50 MG DHEA twice a day and in a few months my egg quality and quantity improved. Have you tried that? it is over the counter.

Hi Jodi,
Congrats! Thanks for the DHEA info. I'm going to be meeting with my doctor next week and will ask about it. Did you find it created more eggs or just improved the quality of what you were producing? I think we will be pushing back our next IVF round until after March break. We have a family holiday booked and if I get pregnant before I really wouldn't want to fly. There are some doctors who believe its not good in the first trimester. I also haven't lost any weight yet but I have gotten a lot fitter with my kickboxing classes.
