http://www.tcoyf.com/media/g/overweight_charts/default.aspx<p>In order to ovulate, most women need at least 20% body fat. But just as being underweight can prevent ovulation altogether, being overweight can also alter your cycles by causing execessive production of estrogen, which interferes with the normal feedback system of the hormonal cycle. Some of the signs of excessive estrogen are prolonged periods of fertile cervical fluid buildup, delayed ovulation, and irregular cycles. Please include your weight or the number of pounds overweight and whether the cycle resulted in pregnancy.This section is for <strong>completed</strong> charts and not intended for questions.

GL to everyone TTC!http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1357654.aspxTue, 01 Mar 2011 04:04:38 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1357654LadyD5A pletora of symptoms prompted me to test early and to my surprise--a BFP.http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1245083.aspxSat, 02 Oct 2010 13:39:40 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1245083DuckysDoll1I recently went from 310 lbs to 255 and have PCOS. We have been TTC#3 for over 5 years! (We had to TTC#2 for over 5 years as well) Timing was off due to the DH getting sick, I thought FOR SURE we had ZERO chance! I am guessing not! LOL! 5 faint + tests and a + digital! Please keep believing! =)http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1165704.aspxMon, 28 Jun 2010 12:57:19 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1165704Sandy127775I&#39;m heavier than I was before I got pregnant with my 1st 2 kids. We are trying for baby #3. I have noticed my CM has been rather unpredictable so this month we tried &quot;Pre-seed&quot; and as you can see, It didn&#39;t work. With my first 2 pregnancies someone told me to try Mucinex to make EWCM and apparently THAT worked because I got prego almost immediately. I&#39;m wondering if that&#39;s the best formula for me to get a BFP, because the Pre and Pre seed might be too much, I&#39;m thinking. But, I&#39;m wondering if I&#39;m doing something wrong, possibly? with the timing? Also, this month I tried drinking Green Tea, there&#39;s some info that says that helps too??? I don&#39;t know. this was the 3rd month trying this time, and 2 online chart.http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1013155.aspxSun, 13 Dec 2009 23:47:28 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1013155Anonymous0TTC#1 for 21 months, and had +OPK for the first time!! http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1002477.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 02:14:52 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1002477Anonymous0I added exercise into my life and am eating healthier, and I got an earlier O this cycle. Previous three cycles were loooong...O CD 50-63! I don&#39;&#39;t know if the exercise/healthier diet did it, but O was CD 28 this time. Much better. Hoping next cycle is even shorter with ++++ HPT! http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1002476.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 02:14:52 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1002476Anonymous0I lost my first and only pregnancy in October of last year at 13w3d. Doctors had told me I would never conceive because of my weight - they were convinced I was not ovulating. Here I am with three charts under my belt showing ovulation and a very consistent LP and period length! This chart is to show that a) fat is unhealthy but not necessarily the reason for not conceiving (turns out my husband has very low motility, poor morphology) and b) you can get so much insight into your own body from charting!http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1002475.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 02:14:51 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1002475Anonymous1I&#39;&#39;m a 37yo, got married April 2008, been TTC for 8 months, charting for the last 4 cycles. I&#39;&#39;m overweight- 5ft, 7 inches, 220lbs. OPK tests were never positive for me, I used FAM and learned that I DO ovulate, but my cycles were anywhere from 28-42 days. FAM was so helpful, and not as much a pain in the butt as I thought!! Additionally we used pre-seed for lubrication and after sex I stayed supine in bed x 30 min. I&#39;&#39;m cautiously excited and hoping for a smooth ride! At the end of 4 weeks I feel good, just minor cramps and nausea! Good luck to everyone trying!http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1002473.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 02:14:51 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1002473Anonymous0I was overweight to start with and then discovered I was hypothyroid. After a severe illness and hospitalization, I gained more weight due to comfort food and inactivity. The plan was to lose weight if we didn&#39;&#39;t conceive this cycle. I&#39;&#39;ll be losing baby weight instead!http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1002472.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 02:14:51 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1002472Anonymous0I am about 60lbs overweight and had lower than normal temps. My ob told me not to worry about the temps. She stated that I may run lower than everyone else. This was our 2nd month using FAM. Also, I turned 40 during this cycle. First child for both of us. I am so shocked that it happened this quick, after reading about me being at a disadvantage for my age and then reading how being obese is a disadvantage also for achieving pregnancy. It can happen. http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1002471.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 02:14:50 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1002471Anonymous0This is my pregnancy chart. I had PCOS lost 30 lbs went off Met and got pregnant a few months later. I am still 100+ overweight for the bmi world. Only about 75lbs to me. Pregnancy ended up in a Blighted Ovum. I had a D&amp;C at 10 weeks. http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1002470.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 02:14:50 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1002470Anonymous0First two cycles off of BCP (following 10 years of usage) according to Dr were annov (even though C2 shows ovulation). Dr Rx Metformin to help with potential PCOS - only on these pills for 20 days, and ta da BFP. So likely, I would have just ovulated in Cycle 3. I got a very faint HPT+ on CD9 but thought I might jinx myself by adding it. By CD 11 it was nice and dark and the digital proudly read Pregnant. All the best to all... http://www.tcoyf.com/media/p/1002469.aspxThu, 03 Dec 2009 02:14:50 GMT7ecd6623-b438-4ce6-905c-5fa791ae87c0:1002469Anonymous3I didn&#39;&#39;t know where else to post my chart. I have very low temps and I don&#39;&#39;t know what is wrong. 260# and 5&#39;&#39;9&quot;. Any advice is appreciated!?!
