Phentermine while TTC?

July 24, 2008

If I get a bfn this month I will be taking a TTC break to lose some weight prior to IVF in Jan/Feb 09. I was planning on asking my dr for a script for Phentermine as I am about 60lbs over my ideal weight. Is it safe to take this drug while TTC?

Ok to take, but once a +hpt, please stop taking

Hey Michele,

I know you posted that comment a while ago but I was wondering if you took the Phentermine you were asking about. I just started on it yesterday and would love to hear your results, side effects, etc. :0)

Amber..I took it about a year before my wedding and I had some great results...I lost 55 lbs in about 10 months. But it actually made me very jittery. Just remember tho that once you get off phentermine, your weight comes right back...I am still under 25 lbs from my starting weight but still...your metabolism drops dramatically once you are off the pill.

I wish you luck...

Oh by the way, I've been married for a bit over 2 years now...
