I saw my Dr. today and found out something VERY interesting. He said that he has had a few people he has seen who are "unable to get pregnant" actually get pregnant while on the phen. It's unknown if there is some hormonal trigger involved or what, but he said it has happened. Maybe it increases our fertility?

USE BIRTH CONTROL, even if you "can't" get pregnant. Better to use raincoats for a few months than to have a surprise you're completely not prepared for..... not to mention that you're not supposed to take phen. (or many, many other meds--- INCLUDING herbs) while pregnant.

Just thought I would share.

This is actually more common then many think...when losing weight. When I was in my 20's everytime I lost weight...(without trying back then,forwhat ever reason) my Mom would say you are going to get pregnant now since you are losing weight. I thought she was *out there*..LOL...The highest I ever was was 125...but would drop to 110...anyhow...when we weigh more and the more we weigh...our body fat makes estrogen...more fat more estrogen...then our ovaries stop making eggs..as though we were on Birth Control pills...when we lose...its like we are going off the pill for many, cause then their overies...are able to make the eggs now, thus the pregnancy.
Of course we are all different but our hormones are tricky just like woman with alot of Body fat have an easier time 99% of the time in Menopause...same reason..when overies shut down...they have alot of reserve in Body fat lots of Estrogen to fall back on. A Woman with lots of Body fat in FULL blown menopause has more estrogen in her system then a VERY young fertle women. Soooo as you lose be aware yes indeed you can get pregnant a lot easier. Hope I made sense...blessings

Any word on whether taking birth control pills compensates for the weightloss? Being pregnant would be very very bad for me right now.
