Hello, New and Nervous

Hi & Welcome.

Maybe give us more info about yourself?

Hi Lilly

My name is Natasha, im 29 years old, married for 3.5 years, ttc 2.5 years.....
Got diagnosed when I was 18 with PCOS and gynae scared me and shouted at me for being overweight (weight 60kgs back then) and been too scared to go to a gynae since. I weight a whopping 106 kgs last year and have been battling to lose the weight, I have dropped to 97kgs....its a difficult road.....

Hi Natasha,

Welcome to OPM, here nobody will judge you & you will find wonderful support from all the TTC ladies & those like myself either pregnant or mommies already! re the weight, I myself battle with my weight, I am pregnant but have not once been this fat & overweight in my life! so I'll be taking on the weight loss road in a couple of weeks time!

Hi there and welcome!
Sorry you had such a bad experience with the gynae! Hope you dont have to travel down this road too much longer

Thanks sooo much Lilly I feel so much better, I was so worried and I will get laughed at. Congratulations on your pregnancy, I see your almost home.....

Thanks for the encouragement, I will take all the advise I can get on PCOS and how to handle it, I am contempating seeing a Gyn soon, but still need to find one I am confortable with....

thanx, ya I have a week & half left! where abouts are you, maybe some of the ladies in your area can recommend a gynea. believe me nobody will laugh at you, most of the ladies on the forum had a long and hard TTC journey & some of them are still on that road!

I live North of Durban, near Umhlanga....

Hi Tasha and welcome.

The road of weight loss is never an easy one but with the right attitude and support you will get there slowly. I weighed about 95 at my wedding 5 years ago (due to hormonal imbalances) and am now almost at 80. It's been a long road but I know I'm getting there slowly and am just happy with every little bit I loose.

I also had a very bad experience with a gynae (female) who listened to my history and told me (without any tests or bloods etc) that I'd never be able to have kids. I was very put off and to some extents believed her but I have been seeing major changes with medication I am on and now believe that even though I'm not pregnant yet I am a lot closer to being pregnant than I was a year ago and that one day soon I'll be able to shout my BFP (Big Fat Positive) from the mountain tops.

All the best with your journey and I hope you feel welcome here and will find the support and encouragement here that you need.
