Anyone have an easier time TTC after weight loss?

I'm not TTC or anything, definitely not ready for a baby yet....

I'm just curious... has anyone had trouble TTC and then got pregnant after/during l/c? I read that L/C is good for PCOS and can raise your fertility. Just looking for personal experiences or maybe a friend's experience you wouldn't mind sharing!

Thanks! ;]

If you haven't already, definitely check out the Soulcysters website. There are tons of stories about women who decided to low carb and end up pregnant after they've lost some weight. A lot of these women went through fertility treatments previously with no success.. and all it took was some weight loss.

My old Endocrinologist actually told me that women with PCOS who lose 10% of their weight can increase their chances of spontaneous ovulation as well. I think it's definitely worth a shot..if nothing else, you will be healthier when you do end up getting pregnant, which can hopefully decrease your chances of developing any issues during your pregnancy.

Well child #2 AND #3 were "Atkins Babies".

So I would say yes.
