Obese and TTC my first

I am overweight... 309lbs to be exact and am 5' 8". I do carry it well however was told by my dr that until I lose weight I cannot go to a fertility clinic. I had trouble TTC a few years ago and did 3 rounds of clomid with no success. I was given metformin to help try and lose some weight as my weight is around the middle and can be a sign of insulin resistance. I am not diabetic and my sugars are perfect. Ive also just come off birth control pills on January 31. Was on them as Ive never had a regular cycle. My question is, has anyone ever come off BC pills and gotten pregnant the first cycle with the help of metformin?

I would be interested to know if the metformin is helping you lose weight. I have been tested for diabetes a lot too and it does not show.

I'm losing weight by dieting I've lost 5 kg. I'm trying to get my BMI down to 27 (It should be 25). I am the same height as you 5'8.

I've also had three rounds of clomid with no success. BMI was 27 - then I fell pregnant naturally (I put on more weight then)! It took about 3 years though to get pregnant.

There is a closed facebook group called 'Reboot with Joe' if you are interested in the diet I am doing.

After juice fasting I plan on doing low carb, no sugar

I'm not sure if its 100% the metformin or not but have managed to lose 2 pounds in a week. I've also changed eating habits and am exercising so that may have something to do with it....
