A couple of things - first, you don't move your saddle to change the reach to your bars. Once your saddle is set, it stays there, and you adjust the reach via stem length. Also, hopefully you had measured the distance from the tip of your saddle to the hoods on the original setup; if so, use that distance as a starting point for the new setup and tweak as necessary. Any time you make changes, it'll take time for your body to adjust to them.

That looks like agressive fit/drop for someone only riding 2 years. Maybe you're young and flexible:-)
