How does body weight affect fertility?

Question

Hey ladies! I'm curious to know how body weight impacts our fertility. Have any of you experienced changes in your fertility due to weight? Let's discuss the significance of maintaining a healthy body weight in our fertility journey!

Answer

My expert advice as a nutritionist: As you gain weight, your fat cells grow and release more estrogen, which creates a hormonal imbalance￼. Too much natural estrogen can cause your body to react as if you are taking hormonal birth control with estrogen (like the pill, shot, or vaginal ring) or are already pregnant. Hormonal imbalance can prevent you from ovulating and having a monthly period.
