Hello, I thought I'd create this thread incase anyone would like to join me on this journey. Perhaps together we could share tips and support one another.
I'm 37 ttc #1 .
I'm currently 12st 7. I've already lost 1 stone since the start of the year.
I have pcos and I was told by my consultant that losing weight would increase our chances. I'd like to get another stone off by the end of the summer.

Before anyone makes any judgement about trying to lose weight while ttc, I am doing this under medical advice and supervision

Hi, I’m also trying to lose weight with PCOS
well done on losing a stone so far!

I am much heavier than you, but after an appointment with a consultant I was prescribed metformin, my weight now comes off slowly and I mean like extremely slowly but at least it’s moving down for a change. I have to loose another 10lbs for fertility treatment.
after a month of metformin (and 3.5 years of ttc) I actually found out I was pregnant but sadly it was a chemical, but trying to be hopeful that the weight will continue to slowly go down and we will maybe see another bfp soon.
it’s such a difficult journey isn’t it!

@Crazyhope hey , nice to meet you.
I haven't found metformin to be helpful at all. I have found inositol seems to help shift the weight. I've recently started intermittent fasting too as apparently its good for pcos. Sorry to hear of your chemical. I had a loss in december and its so fustrating why its not happening again. I've done 2 months of clomid and although im ovulating on it i have not been successful in getting pregnant on it
