is it ok to be over weight and ttc?

Answer 1

Being overweight can cause issues when ttc. It does play a factor.  

Answer 2

I'm overweight a bit and ttc on fertility drugs I have been advised to try and lose weight as being overweight can reduce your chances of conceiving

Answer 3

it depends on how overweight you are. If you are well into the obese range, it can affect your fertility and make pregnancy very difficult for you - but it's no reason not to try! I'm in the 'overweight' range and conceived easily twice with no major complications (yet) in either pregnancy.

Answer 4

Define 'overweight'

When i was a size 12 becuase of weighing 12 stone i was classed as 'overweight' - now im probably something like morbidly obese!

It does play a role YES, but tbh i believe in faith, thinking positive and our wishes will come true.

As long as you take things easy, eat the right stuff and it pains me to say this as i too am a coka cola addict - cut out or cut down the coke you should be fine!

You didnt say how old you are? This too can play a part in it all, i dont think there is any harm in TRYING at least!!

The very best of luck to you hon - xx
