Infertility triggering disordered eating?

I had disordered eating/an eating disorder (bulimia) when I was in my teens but since then I have been mostly recovered

My partner and I have been TTC for 2 years with no luck so far and we will probably need fertility treatment soon.

I'm worried they're going to comment on my weight which I am really sensitive about. I bought some scales recently and weighed myself for the first time in years, my BMI is about 27-28. I also think I just feel so frustrated that I'm not in control of this part of my life, something that so many women can just do easily. I'm trying to alter my diet to help with the PCOS but I think that is also triggering. I think I'm slipping back into some unhealthy patterns but I am trying to fight this as I dont want this to stop me getting fertility help

I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this. Google just comes up with how eating disorders can make you infertile which isnt very helpful
