TTC in recovery
Hi! I was wondering if anyone in here has conceived while in recovery for an eating disorder?
I've been doing pretty well on a meal plan for the last year now. I am weight restored..although everyone still thinks I should push my weight up just a few more pounds.
Anyways, I know it is a very tedious process. I had anorexia and bulimia for about 4 years (which isn't very long compared to most cases.) I do know a couple of women who after YEARS of anorexia were able to have children, but there is the probability of hormonal issues causing infertility because of malnutrition. I am physically healthy now though.
I have an 8 year old. After I had 2 miscarriages but that was long before the eating disorder. I lost my period for 2 years but it finally returned last March.
I do have an issue with cigarettes(yucky....I know. Anxiety issues.) And because of how much I work, I drink way too much caffeine.
I knoooooow. BAD.
Back to the point though. Who has successfully had a child after or in recovery? And who knows how to kick the bad habits? I am so ready to have my complete health back.
