I'm overweight by about 20-30 lbs. Would losing help us?

Question

I'm trying to eat healthier and exercise a little each day. Would losing even a little bit of weight realistically help increase our chances to conceive? We've been trying about 10 months. I know I can't lose a ton quickly but with better diet and more movement I'm hoping to drop 5-10 lbs soon.

Answer

If you’re having a regular period no matter your weight chances are high that you are ovulating. If you don’t ovulate it screws up your period/cycle.

Answer

I’ve read that if you are overweight you can become polycystic, making it harder to conceive because you don’t ovulate regularly.

Answer

Even losing 5% of your body weight can increase you chances by 10% or so I’ve read. Not sure I believe that, but that’s what they say.

Answer

I'm not sure I heard other people say it helps......
