Is weight a big factor in conceiving?

Question

I’ve been trying to conceive for about 8 months now and I’ve tried the pre-seed, supplements, BD before/on ovulation day, BD on positive OPK days for months! Nothing seems to be working. I’m 5’3, 175 pounds and I’m not sure if my weight is the reason. Please, advice! 💜

Answer

I think it just depends on the woman. I was over 300 when I got pregnant with my son! I was even on birth control when i got knocked up! I did have a few complications while pregnant (preeclampsia) but he was a healthy boy!

Answer

It can be an issue. But I also know lots of women who are overweight & have had many healthy babies & uncomplicated pregnancies.

Answer

Weight is a factor but not always the reason. I am 5ft 5ft1ish and at conception I was 218. I'm currently 28 weeks.  Could be another reason why

Answer

Not necessarily true...
I weighed 150 ( 5'4 ) when I became pregnant with my third baby just last year. So weight doesn't really matter to get pregnant..  maybe it's something else that only your doctor can actually tell you the truth about.
I don't follow myths nor others opinions because I was even told by tons of people that because of my weight I would never be able to conceive and I did and now my daughter is 1.
If you are still concerned about it then speak to your Dr he/she can provide you with a diet that's subtle for you or other ways to help you conceive faster.
Good Luck.. prayers for you

Answer

Can be an issue for some women causing irregular periods and not ovulating on their own. Are you confirming when you ovulate? I’m overweight (considered obese now) and have regular periods so it wasn’t an issue for me..

Answer

It can be for some. If you have regular periods and you are having positive ovulation test then it’s probably not an issue. But most doctors first recommendations is to lose weight
