Answer

It depends on your body I guess. I'm 5'7 and was 168-170 and we only tried for two cycles before getting our BFP!

Answer

I've been wondering the same thing about myself! I'm 5'6"ish and I was around 155 when I got a bfp for my first. Now I'm 170 and she's over a year old and I've been ttc #2 for 5 cycles ... But it could be something else I guess!

Answer

They say being overweight is supposed to hender fertility but based on the fact most women in the US are overweight and plenty are having kids I don't think you have anything to worry about

Answer

I think 180 is a fine weight. I'm around 160 and am shorter and I feel fine. I'm muscular with some cushy thighs and a little belly pudge. Plus, you'd be honest with yourself if you didn't feel healthy right! Don't trust those charts they use for your BMI, they don't account for your muscle and different body types, just how they assume woman should look at our age: one body type - 120 pounds, lean with very little muscle. Does that make sense?
