Did anyone’s weight affect their chance at TTC?

Question

Answer

5'8 started at 296. Pregnant after 2 months. Weight CAN be a factor, but it's not guaranteed.

Answer

5’8 290lbs when I conceived. It took 5 months. We actually conceived the month we stopped trying because I thought my weight was the issue and decided I wanted to try to lose weight. Found out I was pregnant the week I started weight watchers lol.

Answer

I was told by my RE that we would never conceive without IVF. I lost 60 lbs and got our BFP!

Answer

Im 5 foot and 200lbs. Ive managed to get pregnant first try all three times.

Answer

346 when I conceived. We got pregnant on the first cycle off birth control. We weren't even trying yet.

Answer

It can, but if you feel as if something is wrong find a new doctor and get another opinion. I went through 3 OBGYNs who all insisted I just needed to lose weight before finally getting a referral to a fertility specialist. Tubes are blocked due to a past infection and our chances of natural conception are near 0 regardless of my weight and lifestyle.
Stick up for yourself and follow your gut.

Answer

I was 5 foot and 175 lbs when I conceived. Took 4 months... not preventing but not really trying.

Answer

I was about 214 when we conceived and conceived our first month trying.

Answer

We started trying when I weighed 255. No luck for 7 months. Started the keto diet. Lost  25 lbs the first month and got my bfb my next cycle. Might just be coincidence but 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I'm 5'4 and 235 lbs and I got pregnant without trying. So I'd say it's definitely not a factor for everyone!
