Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

It' a good thing you work.It' s difficult to stay at home and not eat anything.I just eat something out of habit sometimes.Why don' t you try this subway thing.You can take instead of one meal.It doesn' t exactly help weightloss.But once i lost weight easily with it' s help.
Drinking green tea also helps it seems.

I drink 2 cups of coffee daily.
1 cup butter milk.
2 bowls of Kellogs spl k with low fat milk.
1 apple.
and 1 subway.

This helps somewhat.
And i keep drinking water from a bottle that helps hunger stay away.

You can use some suger free chewing gums.

This stops any food craving for the moment.

Hope this helps.

Let me know some things you know and think might help me.

Thats good that your medical test has proved that you are fine. Its good that you dont have fibroids and tubal block. Then you will be able to conceive normally is feel. But dont take long duration waiting to conceive naturaly becoz age maters a lot in infertily. we try anything before we are 30 yrs.
My self i do dieting for sometime and end up eating all one day. In weight the doctors take BMI mostly. My BMI is 35,you can calculate in web also.
My doctor told 30 would be ideal but for 30 bmi i have to loose atleast 15kg.
keep us posted of your treatments and i will too.

i am new to this website.i have read your posts.Though i am not suffering from pcos but i am experiencing problem of unexplainded infertility.all our test reports are not showing any negetive results.i dont haveany blocks or fibroids.my cycles are very regular.i have to several doctors known of them have not given any particular reason.at present i am using organic antioxidants(vit C&vit E)and also omega-3 fish oil capsules were suggested by my doctor,which might help me to some extent.previously another doctor gave me chlomophene&folicle stimulating hormone but no good results.it would be helpfull to me if u people can give me any suggestions.
i have friend of mine who is also suffering from pcos.her weight was 83kgs,doctor suggested her to reduce her weight a lot.but she had not taken it seriously.gync put her on for birth control pills for some months and then gave her chlomophene last month.though she did not manage to put down her weight even 1kg by gods grace she have concieved this month.
priya even i have information about positrim that it helps to reduce weight 2-5kgs per month if the programme given is strictly followed added with sufficient exersise.even i have tasted it ,it tastes good. actually my gync suggested positrim and omega-3 to my friend above.omega-3 would also help a lot to pcos(try some information in google search).it also helps reduction of the depression that we face.which i truely experienced.
please give any other information that would help me.

Hope your dieting is going on well?

Yes staying at home is a bit boring but you have plenty of time for gym. Believe me or not you will denitely loose you weight by GYM. I was at home for 3 months before and i was lazy to go to gym, then i joined which really helped me. I lost nearly 7 kg in two months. But i eat well sometimes and the other days i have broken wheat rava uppuma. Its wheat and you wont feel hungry. Have you heard of broken wheat/wheat samolina? It is really good for dieting. You could have it like this.
1 Cup-broken wheat cook in water(1 ltr) for 10 mints with salt. You can have it like poridge with raita,papad,sambar, sabji, any thing you like as side dish. You feel full and your intake of vegetables is complete. You can make this a meal a day instead of rice. Even samolina/rava is good.Make an upma with less oil then have little, make this meal (250 calories).Idily is best as its steamed 100 calories per idly.
I will give you some dangerous foods: Pizza(cheese)-1900 cal(Have 2 pizza you increase 1 pound)
samosa-500cal
burger-890cal
parota(1)-400cal.
Pickle-more salt
potato-fried
anything fried is more than 500cal per 100grms.
There are 3 white poisons for people like us: sugar, maida floor and salt. Try to minimise the intake.
Best things are
1. Have honey & lime juice with warm water early morning and walk for atleast 20 mints.
2. Drink atleast 3 green tea a day
3. Drink 1 or 2 glass of buttermilk before meal.
4. drink 2 ltr water a day prefer warm water/avoid ice chill water.
5. use more spice in foo, pepper, chilly etc.
6. check your weight every 3 days for just encouragement.
7. sleep only 7 hours a day, avoid a nap in the afternoon after lunch.
8. Use sugar free for sugar.
9.have dinner before 6pm. after 6 only water till next day.
10.No drinks like coke, soda etc just fresh juice.
These things i follow and would appreciate you could give me some more suggestions to improve.
Check you web for calories counter and just keep in mind the calories of your fav food. I kept in mind and planned for a perfect diet for a month. Eat atleast 1300 cal per day and excercise (do join a gym) atleast 1 hour. You will be able to do it. In case you come across parties then adjust your calories accordingly. In a week one day just enjoy eating anything you feel like and the other 6 days stay with 1200 cal. Usually my morning breakfast is 3 idly(300 cal) and tea(90 cal)/lunch 3 roti(300 cal) and dhal(100 cal)/tea 90 cal)/dinner 1 apple and 1 pear. Choose food with more water content. In between if i feel hungry i would have a salad, butter milk-2 cups or fruits. In case i go to party for lunch or dinner. Then i would go for watermelon(1 full) next day for lunch and dinner.
let me know if you all have some tips for me...
I m very lazy gril and if i can do it y not you all. try it....

Hi SSS,

This site is not allowing me to post my mail id here.But I can tell you it is silver group girl.Had some unexpected bleeding and had to see the doctor and got a scan done.No complicaiton was found out.So I was badly stressed out and gave up diet over the week end.Started again today.Have you done IUI with HMG? The multiple follicle thing? Don' t mistake me.Just pointing out some possibilities.
R u working and do u do the cooking at home?
I have to cook in my home and cooking is my worst enemy.Makes me feel like I want to eat.And I end up eating.So I have given up cooking.
Let' s think positive & soon we will be telling Yahoo........

Never mind about the email thing we can communicate through this site. You should post your things in Infertility solution where we will find many nice and kind hearted ladies and Myself is UK in the community.
Dieting i eat rice everyday afternoon(i cant live without it. Night i have small tiffin like uppma. My weight has not gone down but the same. I work and i dont cook at home my mom does. Only once in a week on my day off i cook my favorite dish and eat as much as possible.

hey it looks like

Weight affects IVF.

When you are over weight fat gets deposited around ur belly and pelvic.
And your ovaries go to a higher position(away from ur vagina).During the egg retrieval process,(part of IVF) needle is inserted through the vagina to the ovary.When this distance is increased due to the fat tissues,there is trouble in retrieval.

One more is,the whole retrieval procedure is done along with scanning.They insert the needle only by seeing in the screen.If u r over weight, again due to the fat, they can' t see the images clearly.

And above all the success rate is good they say.

I am overweight and gonna go for IVF.But thats only after I reduce atleast 13 kgs.If you want some support to lose let me know.I ' ll help in whatever ways i can.

Ofcourse. We should keep in touch. My weight reduction now a days i have lost hope. I do it well for 3 or 4 days then i will get so fedup and stop the diet. Now recently i gained another 2 kg. I even tried special k which dint really help me.How mush have you lost. So now i m going to gym but i eat whatever possible.
I had an 3 IUI failed, so now i m going in for ivf.Last month i did a hystrolap to remove my fibroids. Totally i have done 1 laproscopy,1 hystrolap, 3 iui and all other medications and till date nothing has happened. Just finacially we have broken down.
Priya you should post your questions in infertility solutions so get more replys. Any way let me know ur email id. We will keep in touch.

Sorry dear, I have written al the best for ur IUI.I am sorry.All the very best for ur IVF.We are in Bangalore,I have decided on Dr.HemaDiwakar.She is closer to our house than the others.If you don´ t mind we can keep in touch, especially since we are sailing in the same boat.You don´ t give ur email id in this site.just tell me if we can be friends,I will tell you my spare id.So you can mail me there.That way even if someone here misuses it we are clear.Take Care.

hi I have just started my weight reduction.But I have done that once earlier but stopped.But then this Kellogs Special K really helped me.Now also I am using that one.

And I have also heared that there is something called positrim even that helps.(I don´ t have personal experience with this positrim.)

I am waiting for hubby´ s sperm count result, if it has improved by now, we are going for IUI.If not I have to go for a fibroid removal first in July and then for IVF starting from August.I am worried about the pain and the procedure.Which month are you starting.I think u r anxious too.

I read the following quote somewhere.It was good.So I am sharing it with you.

" Pain is temporary.It may last a day,a week,a year or longer,but eventually it will subside and something else will take it´ s place.If I give up, ´ THAT´ lasts for ever" - Lance Armstrong.

Hope U like it.All the best for ur IUI.

And one more thing, the last time u lost weight, did u lose some inches around ur belly(I mean if u had belly fat).Did ur abs improve.Because not so much with me.I donno, may be I shud lose more.Now I am trying some abs exercise too.

I was once 97kg. Then now i was able to bring it down to 82 with gym and diet, But still i have to make it to atleast 70 to go on with my ivf. I dont want to take chances in ivf as its very expensive. Let me know how you reduced? Now after a hystrolap my doc says my tubes are blocked.I will be doing my ivf at prasanth hospital chennai. Where have you decided to do you ivf?
