Hello
So back story, TTC 4 years. Did Clomid last month, ovulated, no conception. I did 100mg this month, 99% sure I did NOT ovulate. All Neg OPK, no signs. Dr wouldnt do bloodwork since I O'd last time.
Well, went to my GP last Friday, and he suggested I loose weight. I am a little heavy ( I carry it well) I am a size 12, but 5'2 and 200 lbs (At my last RE appt in Dec).
He wants me on a crash diet, to boost my metabolism. 1000 calories, no more. 800 would be "great" if I could manage. Isn't this too low for ovulation? I have been sticking to around 12-1400 with cardio. I've already lost about 5 lbs (I'm 194-195 now)
He keeps pushing me to go even lower with my Calories, but I simply can't. I'm also very worried I won't ovulate. Advice?
