Anyone else trying to lose weight while TTC?

I was told losing weight could help correct my problems that are preventing me from getting pregnant. Is anyone else in a similar situation?

I've been told the same. I don't seem to be ovulating and my gp wont refer me to anyone else until I loose weight..0

Me too - my doctor has me going to a weight management specialist, first appointment is tomorrow. He also has put me on Metformin even though I'm not diabetic. I guess it also helps with regulating my cycle and appetite suppressant. Have your doctors recommended a program or medication?0

Sounds like PCOS I have it and it can make it harder to lose weight. Don't be discouraged I just had my second baby. If I can do it so can you.1 -
Sounds exactly like me....
My hubby and I have been TTC for nearly 3yrs now- have a 10yr old from a previous marriage so I know I can do it. I also got pregnant last year but sadly miscarried. I have PCOS and a bad back so really need to lose some weight but I'm finding it so hard! My Dr also said he can't refer me for treatment till I lose some weight. Have tried Metformin but it didn't seem to make any difference for me.0 -
Yup! That's why I'm starting this weight loss journey. Not only will it help me be healthy, it'll help if I do conceive. I just started a program with my doc yesterday.1
