So I just left my OBGYN and I told her we were ready to start trying for a baby! I’m 5’ 7 and weigh 245. I’m also on several mental health medications with various diagnoses. But I’m happy and stable.

She told me it is very unlikely that I’m able to get pregnant at this point due to my weight and being on these meds.

I’m feeling super discouraged at this point. I’ve never been told these meds would mess with fertility. Even if it temporary. And I need to loose at least 35 lbs which I’m not surprised about but I guess I was expecting to hear that I was clear to start trying.

Has anyone been told anything similar? Do I still have a chance at being pregnant? I have an appointment tomorrow to begin coming off of my mental health meds for pregnancy but I’m so scared now.

Anyone’s input would help.
