I was very overweight when I TTC my first.  It took just 3 cycles with my fertility specialist (about 6 months total), for me to ovulate and get pregnant.  I had PCOS and had actually never ovulated until I tried injectable medication.  I also did IUI and got pregnant on my first cycle of the combo INJ/IUI.  It was expensive but worth every penny.  You'd be surprised how many insurance companies work with reproductive endocrinologists.  Most of the testing is covered...I would definitely start there.  After I had my first, I lost most of the excess weight and got pregnant with my 2nd on the very first cycle, completely natural.  Good luck to you!

I know im having the same issue . But if you think its serious problem that your weight is affecting you ttc , then forsure talk to your doctor . I know alot of women say that thats not an issue . But everyone is different. And try easing your mind a bit , with eating right , and exercising a little at a time .
