I'm not trying to lose weight, but with a medical background, i understand where your dr is coming from on wanting you to lose the weight before ttc. The extra weight while pregnant is harder on your body and puts you at a higher risk for gestional diabeties, high blood pressure, preeclampisia, etc. he is also probably more worried because you are considered ama(advanced maternal age). I used to work for an obgyn and the dr. used to advise his patient to lose the weight while ttc was perfectly healthy for them. althought, i'm not giving medical advice. you can put a call in to your dr and ask in his opinion is it safe for you to ttc while losing weight. Hope you successfully lose the weight and you get your bfp for baby#5!
