I was 98 lbs when I got pg with DS1, 125 lbs with DS2 and 135 lbs with DS3.. So I don't think it's about your overall weight. I followed my sway to a T - except the diet :worry: but I have NEVER been able to stick to a diet so I accepted that and did the sway anyway. This was our first attempt month and I'm nervous as heck! But for a much as we try, we aren't really in control! Try to relax and have fun trying!! Good luck!!! :)
Somewhere you had written your BMI right before I answered this thread and it was on the low side.Quote:

Lose the chub, your body freaks the F out and stops ovulating.

It is not a competition where "she who weighs the least, wins" and it has NOTHING to do with you being bigger or smaller than anyone else. Giving it to you straight here, ya gotta unplug your brain from that mentality because that sways blue WAY more than anything involving your body shape. (as per the essay I just posted)
Hear hear!! Just look at my sway.....:wink:Quote:

Likewise! Even on my diet I am still 10kg over....I lost about 8kg though, it's gotta make a difference...ideally I should wait and lose more but I don't want to wait any longer. I don't have a lot of discipline and patience for diets and cheat all the time, so I will DTD even though it is not my `'ideal' weight. But I am prepared to pay for it, oh BOY I am :)Quote:

It would raise my anxiety levels and being 40, I got no time to waste either.Quote:

Then she'd be like, eh screw it swyaing doesn't work anyway, and get pg after she had just lost weight - she never lost that much, no more than 10-20 lbs max, but invariably it was conception after a strict diet and weight loss even tho she was still on the heavy side every time. Net result 5 girls, the two she started with and then the 3 that she got losing weight, planning for some big sway that never happened. :(
