Is anyone here also trying to lose weight so they can start a family?

That would be me! I don't want to risk doing something wrong before, during and after pregnancy and I want my child to have the best possible start and best possible role models in his or her life (I really want boy/girl twins, got the names picked out an everything!). My BM, DM, DSM and DF (best mates, darling mother, darling stepmother and dearest father) can't wait for me to get up the duff. DH and I are starting to talk seriously about it now. He's certainly not getting any younger (40 this year) and neither am I (31 this year... yeah, I married an old man!).
I've got pretty severe PCOS where I don't ovulate by myself at all; I only ovulate on birth control. The last time I ovulated by myself was nearly 15 years ago in high school. When I lose the last of my weight, I expect that I will ovulate normally again. Probably at the beginning of next year, I'll start trying to get myself up the duff.
