hi rizrayza,
welcome to this thread! i, too, ballooned when i was on treatment. put on 7 kg with no effort at all! it's only cos we are careful with the intensity of our exercise & eat to comfort ourselves when we're down when AF comes.
i'll say to you what i've told a few others on this thread... if doc has advised you to lose weight to increase your chances of conception, then focus on that now & leave the pressure of conceiving aside for now until you've reached your ideal weight. if you're trying to achieve both now, you may be frustrating yourself unnecessarily cos in your case, one has to happen before the other. ask the doc if you should hold the metformin etc until you've lost some weight. this will take some pressure off & allow you to start feeling better about yourself.
meantime, why not go to the gym with your hubby and use the time together to share how you feel & to let him know that you need his support. this, too, will ease some pressure.
having a baby is both your concerns, not just your thing to sort out. this would be good practice for couple communication cos when the baby comes, good communication would be needed to get through frustrating & tiring night feeds, in-law intervention, etc.
by the way, do you know how to look for signs of ovulation in your discharge? OVULATORY DISCHARGE is: LUBRICATIVE(when you wipe from front to back it glides a lot more than other times), STRETCHY(stretches up to 4 cm) or CLEAR(like raw egg white but may also be slightly cloudy). for those of us TTC-ing, any signs of discharge after the dry days after your period are good days to start trying. ovulatory discharge will happen only once a month so look out for it. the 3 days after its appearance are also good days to try.
so don't be so depressed, take it one step at a time... : ) whenever you're depressed, come in here for support.
