I'm sneaking over from WTT... 1.5 months and I'll be TTC so until then I think I will stalk this thread if you don't mind I'm currently overweight and will be TTC before I get to my ideal weight. I've lost 49 lbs so far but I've got quite a ways to go still. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes last March and have very irregular AF. My last appointment PCOS was mentioned as a possibility but she didn't want to discuss anymore until I was ready for TTC. So my next appointment is the 14th of this month.

I was on metformin for diabetes but I'm diet and exercise controlled so I no longer take it. I'm going to bring that up at my next appointment too.

I hope you all get your 's soon as it gives me hope!!!

Side effects of metformin suck!!! I learned that if I took that and no other pills (vitamins etc) in the evening right BEFORE my meal it helped. If I took it with other meds, in the morn, or without eating I was miserable

 

[Vic20581]

Gd luck babymaybe, hope ur apt goes well.

Hello everyone who has just joined.

So how is everyone trying to lose weight? We are doing a low gi diet, half an hour of exercise each day, even if it's a walk

Hi do you mind if I join? I'm really, really, really overweight- 5'4 and 18st7 and have been ttc since May last year. I did lose 22lb in the 3 months before ttc but because of month after month of BFNs and other heartbreaking circumstances (3 deaths to grieve over between 31st Oct and 13th Feb) which if I'm being honest, I think have actually took me into a bit of a depression, I'm now back to where I started with my weight

I daren't go to the doctors because I know they'll just say 'lose weight'. I don't smoke or drink, and have a normal BP and although since coming of the pill I've had a period every month, they aren't really regular- for a few months they were- about 30-33 days, then every now and again I'd have a 27 day or even 39 day cycle. Last month I started on Agnus Castus and had my first 28 day cycle and my skin really cleared up too so I feel a bit more positive now

I hope we all get BFPs soon followed by happy healthy pregnancies Buddies welcome! x
