well, i just found out that my cholesterol is sort of high and im in the process of doing follow up with my doctor to discuss possibilities of getting on cholesterol lowing meds. Im still not fully over the fact that i had gotten pregnant for the first time over a year ago and miscarried after three months. Now im paranoid and think theres something wrong with me, first i miscarry, than i put on weight and my cholesterol is high. If i can loose weight and get myself on a healthier lifestyle, do you think i have a chance of having a sucessful pregnancy in the future? I worry because my fiancee and i have unprotected sex all the time and he doesnt pull out and i still dont get pregnant. We dont have sex alot tho, so maybe its just doing it at the wrong time? Im not in a hurry to have children, i do want them while im young, just with what ive went through, im scared that i can't have kids.

The only way to know for certain is to consult with a Physician and ask that both you AND your fiancé get tested.

Of course a healthy lifestyle makes pregnancy easier - but I would ask your Physician about your cholesterol and weight and your attempts to get pregnant.

I was advised after not getting pregnant following a year of unprotected sex to consult with a specialist.

In addition to what judy has already said, having one miscarriage doesn't necessarily mean you can't carry a child full term. My cousin had a miscarriage for her first pregnancy. Her next two pregnancies went perfectly smoothly and she has two healthy little boys now. Like judy said though, best to talk to your dr.

I agree with judy, the only sure way to know is to consult a Doctor.
I have personal friends who have gone through SEVERAL miscarrages before finally having a full pregnancy, and they were healthy as ever.
I do wish you the best of luck, I understand the emotional distress when losing a pregnancy so hang in there!
