Is it because I’m overweight I’m not pregnant?😓

Question

I will admit I could lose weight! I’m in the process of trying to, drinking a lot more water, and exercising! Is it me though? Am I the reason we can’t have a baby because I’m overweight? I’m currently 5’8 and 280lbs. I do have a lot of muscle on me! I don’t know. I’m confused! If you had any encouraging words or help I’d be grateful! Good luck to everyone TTC!

Answer

I know you are “overweight” but I just wanted to comment and say that you look great- you carry your weight very well! And good for you for taking the steps to better your health. Best wishes!!! xx (this comment was not meant to be unkind in any way so I hope you don’t take it that way 💙)

Answer

You can't really know. I was 225 and got pregnant, but everyone is different

Answer

I'm 5'8 and 250, I think it just really depends on the person. you could be the "perfect everything" and still have a hard time TTC

Answer

Are you tracking ovulation with ovulation predictor kits? How long have you been trying? Are you in the USA- if so find a fertility specialist to run some tests. It might cost a bit out of pocket, but it’s totally worth it in my opinion.
You look like you are active and work out- if you do, my first assumption wouldn’t be that weight was preventing a pregnancy. Good luck to you!!!
