To any plus size mommas: Did weight affect your ability to conceive?

Question

I'm 280 pounds. I have no health problems but I just can't get pregnant after over a year. I've had doctors say I need to lose weight but I know several plus size ladies that have gotten pregnant easily.

*I know the risks of plus size pregnancy and health. I don't need a lecture. I just need advice. Thank you.

Answer

I have PCOS, so my inability to conceive also affects my weight. I knew my fertility was compromised long before I even started TTC.

My first pregnancy was after 3 rounds of clomid/ovidrel/iui. My second pregnancy was after 1 round of clomid then 2 rounds of follistim/ovidrel/iui. Unfortunately I miscarried. My third pregnancy was after 1 more round of follistim/ovidrel/iui.

Answer
