I saw my regular dr today - I like her so much more than my RE, who's a real be-atch! My RE told me about a month ago that at 5'10" and 175 lbs (with a 24% body fat) that I was too fat to start trying and that she wouldn't condone it.
So, I went for my regular visit today - pap, etc., and my regular dr told me my RE was ridiculous and that she would give me the green light to go ahead. She had me do the whole physical thing: walk the treadmill, etc., and said I'm in excellent health. She even promised she would speak to my RE (they're in the same practice) about her advice. I love my regular dr!
Now, I know DH and I have some problems to work on - although I think those will mostly go away now that's he's turned control of the money over to me (finally!) - but I think we're going to start trying in November. The one thing my dr said was that I need to take 1mg of folic acid for at least a month before we start trying, which is why I didn't insist he come home right now for a go. Yipee!!!

Congrats Mandy! I cannot understand your RE. You are in really good shape based on your height. I weigh a lot more than you and I am only 5'4''. How crazy!
I hope you conceive quickly!
