Weight and TTC

RyRy

Has anyone had their doctor tell them their weight is affecting TTC? I just want to know how much truth is behind it.

I’ve read a few articles where that is a huge contribution to some of the struggle. I asked by gynecologist and even family doctor if that could be part of my problem and she said no.

I’m 5’3” and 170 pounds. I wasn’t happy with where I was with my weight, so DH and I made some major diet changes a couple months ago. I have also recently started to step up my exercise routine to try losing weight or at least turn the fat to muscle.

I’m just wondering if I did lose weight if our chances of conceiving would be better? Has anyone else tried losing weight or making major healthy life style changes to help their chances of TTC and did it work? I know it’s all in the timing but if this could also help I’d like to know.
