I suggest the same, wait it out, hope for the best but just be patient and talk to your doc when you find him and maybe take another test 2-3 weeks later if you haven't gotten your period and haven't found a new doc.View Thread

Also, I have read also about losing weight but I'm in a bit confused there... I'm 5'4, 143 lbs, technically by usual standards/charts I'm close to being overweight for my height, but I'm athletic/medium built and active, but I still worry about what if I gain TOO much with a baby.
My doc said to just keep doing what I'm doing, and the few people I've told about our plans also think I'm fine and don't need to lose weight. I am fine with the way I look, I've been 143 ( /- a few lbs) for the last 6 years, and if I lose some I'd only want to lose no more than 10lbs.
Part of me can't imagine me weighing 160 lbs even though I know it's the baby not me. Mainly I worry of the pressure on my knees, I injured myself years ago and sometimes my right knee hurts and I limp.
So my next two questions would be:
What would you really suggest about how much should be lost before pregnancy (if any)? After I have conceived?
Does your body adjust easily as weight is gained (regarding my knee issue)?
Lastly, I play soccer, my doc told me I can keep doing everything as normal - and I agreed, so that I don't let myself stress over whether I'm pregnant or not I will stay busy/active (as I have been for a while)... But I'm also kind of worried, what if I get pregnant, before I even know it, and I'm playing and I either fall or get hit, is the body strong enough and cushion enough to protect the baby forming inside me? And, until when is it safe to play?
Thank you in advance for any info you can give...View Thread
