I have done 6 cycles of clomid, BFN, 1 cycle of injects, and am on my 2nd cycle now. I am overweight, 5'8 225lbs, and have poly cystic ovaries. With each cycle I have gained some weight (I started out at 200lbs). My RE tells me to limit my exercise because of the meds and I am told to make sure I eat well balanced meals. I read that you shouldn't diet while trying to get pregnant or when pregnant. URGH! How is a girl supposed to lose weight like that? I am going to a new RE soon about IVF (Army RE) and I am sure he is going to say something about my weight, though my current RE hasn't said anything about it. I know that some drs will say to take a break from TTC while you lose the weight, but I have waited so long already and I am not getting any younger! Plus, with my dhs job I never know when he will be around (he is in the Army). I know I am rambling. Do you have any suggestions or ideas for me?
