So thankful for reassuring information like this. I had miscarriages at 30 and one at 35, both times was 320 lbs. No one did any testing, just said it was my weight. Kept waiting to get help because if my weight hadn’t changed then I thought they wouldn’t help me. 2 years ago got a new primary doc, was at 390 lbs my thyroid was out of whack and I wasn’t processing sugar correctly. Now I’m on thyroid med and metformin. Last year at 41 years old and 350 lbs saw a fertility doc, I now have low ovarian reserve because of age. Really wish information like this was available back then. 42 now and am going through fertility treatments, hopefully with the meds I’ll be able to get and stay pregnant! Thank you for spreading this information!

Yes, I was told to lose weight. I told him, I see fat women everywhere able to get pregnant, i know something is off. Well, I read taking charge of your fertility and took bbt and ov tests and found that i had a luteal phase disorder. I’d ovulate then get my cycle 2 days after, NOT normal! I made him check my hormones and yup, my semi borderline high prolactin levels was the cause. 1 simple rx for bromocryptine to lower my prolactin (after 1 year of ttc) and I was pregnant my next cycle. I kept my rx and used the same pills 3 years later and again, pregnant in 1 cycle.
