Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi All,
I am new here even though i have been reading this forum for a while now. Was really happy to see the kind of support everyone gives each other. So thought it was time i join in too.

I have been married for 10 months and have been planning to start a family now. I was on pills but stopped taking starting today(22 june 06. I want to conceive as soon as i can. I am 28 and and dont wanna delay any further. How long does it take for the pill effect to go? Also i am 5 feet 2 inches and weigh around 67kgs. Will that be a major issue when TTC? I do aerobics 4-5 times a week at home. will that help?

I would really appreciate advice as to how to go about it. I am going for a hoilday from 1st july to 4th july so I am planning on going to the doc soon after I come back from my trip.

Hope to hear soon :))

welcome to the forum. Apart from following a healthy lifestlye & visit to ur gyn, u will hv to follow the most important point.that is stop worrying!! U know anxiet has -ve effect on ur harmonal production. so stop worrying & i also wold suggest u to do away with ovulation calculator.Just enjoy making love with ur hubby & not doing it just for the sake of getting pregnant. Keep urself in good mood & have a +ve outlook. All the best in ur endeavours. l replied. hi pooja,
first of all welcome to the group. i am 27 years old and has been married for 4 years. well we have been trying to concieve since dec05 and no luck yet. but before planing the baby i went to my family doctor for full check up like blood and urine test. and started prenatals right away. my doctor told me that it is different with everyone. some woman can concieve right away after stopping the pill but for some woman it can take from 6 months or 1 year. but if it is meant to be for you, you will get pregnant doesn't matter what.
i was on pill for 3 years but i was doing a paps smer every year. my gyn told me if i ever decide to get pregnant make sure you don't get pregnant in 3 months after you stop the pill, because it take up to 3 months to clean up your system. although pill has no side effects.
and about your weight. well i have heard that if you are trying to concieve you should maintain your diet and body. to be honest to you i don't excersice at all. i am 5.4 and 57 kgs. but indeed it is a good idea to join gym. i am going to start swimming and aerobics too. let me tell you something, i have a friend and she is pregnant at the moment and her weight is more than you and she is as tall as i am. she is fine. and one of my other friend she had a baby girl few months ago and she was heavy too. so keep doing your excersises and eat healthy. if you are consuming more than one cup of cafine in a day, change that. i was having 2 cups of tea during the day but i stopped and i now i am drinking green tea. it is good and will help you to lose weight also.
my suggestion is go to your doctor and talk to him/her about your doubts. i hope i have answered some of your questions. if you need to know anything else send me an email at mohh_05@yahoo.ca
take care and good luck
regards
