If I could concieve naturally I wouldn't be losing weight, it's just one of the hoops I have to jump through to get NHS funding for my IVF.

This will be my 3rd pregnancy (if I ever get there).

My first I weighed around 13st and was a size 14. That was 3 years ago and ended in an early MC at 5 weeks.

My 2nd was in May just gone, I weighed 15st and was a size 16. Sadly it ended at 6 weeks because it was an ectopic.

Hope that helps. Both times I had recently lost weight. Around 2 stone.

Totally Random but this morning no pressure in abdomen (like when i'm about to get AF) can this be a good sign? Does anyone else get a sense of dread every time they go to the bathroom when they are late? I always expect the next time to be when I see the witch.

Hello. I just joined bandb bc of this thread. I am 22 and married for almost two years now. Dh and I have been ntnp for probably 4 years. Silly us. Anywho. I have struggled with weight since starting puberty. When I met dh I was finally getting comfortable at about 190lbs. Being that im 5'9" and busty it worked. Anyway that was in 2006 and it is 5 years later and I am 304lbs and have had irregular and absent AF's since late 07. I had self diagnosed PCOS and a about two months ago it was formally diagnosed by my gyn. I've started metformin and take it three times a day. Thankfully it isn't causing me any stomach problems. We are now in our first month of ttc. Well I guess we tried last month too but didn't expect anything. I have already been through the BFN many times thanks to pcos. I feel very alone . My bff and her dh are also ttc so it helps a little but she is thin and completely healthy so she doesn't quite understand my fears. And my mother although always overweight never had any fertility issues. 4 accidental children. So anyway. Im glad this is here and I will end my novel now lol.

Lol was gd reading ur novel lol
I hope u can get ur bfp soon.
My doc wont even give me metformin untill iv lost more weight, already lost 23lbs in 6 wks. Once i get down more she wil give me metformin n clomid, so jus aimin for that.
Gd luck

How come they are giving you fertility drugs if you have only been TTC 3 weeks?

[baestep22]

Well my pcos is caused by insulin resistance so basically without the metformin its impossible for me to lose any weight. May was actually the first gyn appt I had ever had. Im really happy with my dr. She's very understanding.

 

[Vic20581]

This time iv only been trying 3 wks.
Tryed for over a yr 2 yrs back, saw fertility doc etc, had scans tests, oh test,, everything done. but then stopped ttc n went on implant n then the pill, they no i dont ovulate so havin the meds now rather than a yr ago.

Metformin is fertility med. Its actually a diabetic med. Its used to lower sugar to lower insulin. Bc too much insulin will keep you from ovulating.
