Phentermine??

in TTC After a Loss
I was prescribed phentermine to jump start losing the 20 lbs I have be struggling to lose. I stopped taking it when I got my BFP back in late July (had only started it a week before) and after I MC have been wanting to start taking it again. My FI and I are not taking any precautions when it comes to getting pregnant again (we are older and our wedding is right around the corner). I don't want to take it if there's a chance it could cause another MC if we were blessed enough to get pregnant again but would love to get the weight off before the wedding and I got pregnant. I work out regularly and live a healthy life, just wanted the extra help. Anyone know anything about Phentermine or had any experiences they could share??

Also I want you all to know I might not post much but I keep you all in my prayers and think you are phenomenal women and pray you get you sticky blessing soon :)

    The person who knows the answer to your question is your doctor.

    OP, you are 30.

    30.

    That is not older at all in terms of reproduction.

    If you are going to be on a stimulant to lose weight for a month, you have time to avoid during that month. You are concerned that your last MC may have been related to being on it. Even if you doctor says it is okay, how are you going to feel if you have a second MC while on it? Don't risk.

    Again, 30 is not freaking old.
    This.

    I did not mean I was old and I apologize if I upset anyone. That was not my intension. I simple meant we were mature in our decision and wanted to start a family as we want multiple children. Thank you for your advice and I guess I already knew deep down bc I have out off starting them back up again. Thank you for your responses.

    Age and maturity do not always go hand in hand. Marital status is also pretty irrelevant.

    Gotcha and thank you for the apology :)

    Out of curiosity, has your doctor checked your thyroid or to see if there is any reason why you are not loosing weight even with diet and exercise? Also, I did Bikram Yoga pre-wedding. You might look into that as an exercise option.

    Thank you :) I feel horrible like an outcast now. I shouldn't have posted the question but was truly just asking for others experiences, I have googled it and was not asking for medical advice just others experiences. I did not mean to piss ppl off. I am going to stay off the meds and change up my workout. I will def look into the yoga you mentioned and I appreciate your advice and again I'm sorry if I made anyone angry or broke any forum etiquette. This is all new to me and I will be more cautious in the future. Please don't outcast me yet :)
