I have read but I have never heard a doctor actually say that weight gain heavily hinders pregnancy if it's drastic. Has anybody gained a lot of weight fast and had trouble getting pregnant or had a doctor say that it's harder? Did you lose the weight and it helped conceiving ? I'm young and I gained 30 pounds in a year about a year and a half ago and my periods got threw off track seen a doctor and got a provera cycle but haven't been back yet to see if my weight is the exact issue
