[quote=Anonymous]It's known that excess weight does negatively impact fertility but obviously lots of heavy women also get pregnant. One big issue to consider is PCOS and make sure you get screened for that and that you're ovulating (you can be having regular periods but not actually ovulating). Taking metformin for PCOS is very effective in inducing ovulation and aiding in weight loss. I have PCOS and only lose weight while on metformin, and only ovulate on metformin. We ended up having IVF due to male factor issues. At the time, I weighed 235 lbs (I'm 5'9"). We were successful on the second try. I stayed on metformin throughout the first trimester because it helps to reduce the increased change of m/c that women with PCOS have.[/quote]
