worth ttc when overweight and maybe diabetic

[yentil]

dd is 18 months and i am getting broody. thing is I am about 4 stone overweight (but this was the case when ttc dd - which took one month).

also i got gestational diabetes when pregnant and been told i need to test for diabetes again now, and thinking i have it since still overweight and still cannot resist sugar.

my questions should i try to lose weight before ttc (I am 31 by the way).

anyone with diabetes found it caused infertility.

Why not:

eat more healthily
take more exercise AND
TTC all at the same time?

You could look at your over all diet and tweak it a bit at a time rather than give yourself the impossible task of changing it completely at one fell swoop. Eg,to prevent midmorning snacking, eat a good breakfast and then have nothing till lunch, even if you bring it forward to 11 am.

Exercise doesn't have to mean going to the gym. It could be cutting down the time spent on tv, in a car or on computer. Speaking of which I think I'll get off it myself now. Good luck.

Good luck, I am overweight and was both times I conceived so I wouldn't not try because of your weight.

I am currently trying to lose weight and have lost a stone, but still have loads to lose, we are considering ttc in the near future, being overweight won't put me off. If I wait until I am the weight I want to be I will probably be about 90.

i conceived both my dds when over weight about the same as you

i will say both times a month before i fell pregnant i started to eat really healthy

i still overweight and ttc number 3 and have just started eating very healthy so here hoping number 3 will be on it way soon
