TTC again after a break.. feeling anxious

[emevol]

So my Husband and I started TTC 2 years ago now, but had absolutely no joy. It absolutely wrecked my mental health and I was just so low, and after some fertility tests coming back normal, the only thing that doctors could suggest is weight loss for both my DH and I.

Fast forward to now, we have both lost a lot of weight. I've gone from 22.5 stone to 14, and my partner from 36 stone to 22. We have decided to begin TTC again now that we are in healthier weight ranges (at least compared to what we were!!) and are also married now, and had our honeymoon so it feels the perfect time to try again.

I just feel so nervous! I don't want the heartbreak and disappointment all over again, I'm terrified of the constant negative tests.

I'm not too sure what I'm asking. I suppose does anybody know if / had experience of weight loss aiding conception?

Anybody? 🥹

I can’t help with the weight loss aspect, but after feeling like it would just never happen DH and I took the plunge and bought a clear blue digital monitor. We fell pregnant the first month we used it (though sadly ended in an early miscarriage), a few months later we fell pregnant again and I’m now 25wks. I previously tried BBT tracking but it just left me more stressed and anxious, so whilst it’s a tad expensive the monitor was well worth it for us.

Have you been tracking ovulation? It sounds stupid, but making sure you’re DTD enough is key!

Congrats on the weight loss btw, that’s a huge achievement! Keep going and good luck

@emevol no advice but you’ve both done amazing to lose so much weight! I have heard a lot about being generally healthier making conception and carrying a baby easier though so hopefully it’ll help for you❤️

Thank you all! Just hate the waiting game! Being back in my 2WW feels quite traumatic in a strange way 😫🫣
