Being healthy while ttc

Kat • Ttc #1

I just feel the need to vent right now, so please excuse me... I went for my yearly physical with every intention of speaking to my doctor about ttc. This did not happen, I got a very heavy lecture about my weight and how my doctor is convinced that there is no way I could lose weight through diet and the only course of action to take is gastric bypass. She told me all the dangers that we all know, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar. She looked at my blood work and I have none of these. The worst part of the whole thing... is that she examined me from across the room. She didn't even touch me. It was like she thought fat was contagious.

So needless to say I did not speak to her about ttc. I was really hoping to have someone tell me how to get myself healthy for ttc, cause we're trying now, I'm 32 years old. It's not like I have 20 more fertile years. She never even asked me about why I stopped taking the birth control pill.
