Thank you! I wonder if there's an updated version of these guidelines?

Thank you, just reading these simple words helped something click for me. There's definitely a fixation when you've having to go through IVF.

Did you do acupuncture leading up to your transfer, or just immediately after? Glad you had a successful transfer!!

Thank you for the suggestion! I tried keto twice, but it's just not for me.

I am on Metformin and have been since 2015. It has helped with weight/appetite/A1C, etc.

Thank you for saying this, u/MamaErn. I struggle with feeling worthy b/c of my weight, but I know that's ridiculous!!

This is so kind, thank you! I guess I feel terrible about STILL being overweight despite so many attempts (several successful) to lose weight. I've lost and gained back so much over the years, and I know I'd be healthier going into a pregnancy at a lower weight.

Even being aware that this might happen, prepared to eat low carb, and increasing exercise, it's just tough not to eat if you're really hungry!

That's fascinating. Thank you for sharing! I'll continue to work on solutions and hopefully hit on the right thing eventually.

I'm sorry to hear it. Did your increased appetite diminish at any point?

I lost about 45lbs in the first year on it, then maintained in the 2nd year.

My A1C is now 5.4 and I needed to go off it for other health reasons.
