Can focusing on losing weight actually HELP me to get pregnant?
I’ve been trying for a long time. I have PCOS, but did not have any symptoms prior to gaining all this extra weight. I think I need to lose about 25 pounds in order to get normal cycles again, and even more to be healthy. Since it hurts to think of not being able to get pregnant I am thinking of just foucusing on losing the weight, but not preventing getting pregnatn either. Do you think it can happen? I am on Metformin, and I also have Clomid as well.

Losing weight and getting healthier will make it easier for you to get pregnant.

Yes, because losing weight will really be the best way to increase fertility with PCOS, so focusing on losing weight will mean that your fertility will be a side effect to it.
Good luck.

even i am thinking of doing this month the same thing…i have a box of clomid50mg but i took it already for 4 cycles…it made me ovulate twice..now i am going to stop taking it this month and be only on metformin and trying to loose many pounds..hope we both succeed…i should loose 50lbs more…so u need only half of mine…all the best and lets give ttc a break..it may happen when we least expect it…
