can BMI affect fertility ?

Absolutely,

But the usual way would be if you didn't have any periods because of the weight...if so, then infertility will result from this...a little weight gain, even just 5lbs, may be enough for your periods to resume if they aren't present. If you do have periods, then your weight is not an issue...

Good luck, and keep us posted...

Thanks dr. U r the best! U are helping so many people ,may god bless u with everything u want.

I do get periods .My cycle is min 26 days and max 29 days. I try to gain weight.I eat a lot but may be i have fasts metabolism.

Hi BabyLove, I just used the below site to do your BMI and it was 19. This website says anything between 18.5 and 24.9 is normal.

Are you timing your intercourse using OPKs BabyLove? Sometimes the problem could be that simple..Becuse with your 26 day cycle, you may ovulate sooner than you think you did. If you are using OPKs and still not able to get preggo say for more than a year if under 30, then its good to see a Dr who will figure out whats going on.

Hi Hope ,thanks for sharing the information.I'll check my BMI on this right now.Yes,I am 29 yrs and ttc for 6 months now. I went for cycle monitoring twice .On my 26 day cycle I ovulated on CD12 and on 29 day cycle I ovulated on CD 15.This time i got +opk on CD 14 that means I m ovulating today on Cd 15.We bd yesterday and today also .But HopeN nothing is working...

I doing everything I can.. But god's not helping me.

Hi Baby Love, Its great to hear that u are ovulating when one should!!! Has your partner's sperm been tested? If you are timing intercourse and ovulating and still nothings working, then it may be worth while to get the hubby checked.

HopeN We did that do.My doc said nothing to worry about that.we are using pre-seed too.What about u?

How r u doing? Hope everything is going fine for u.... Oh I forgot to mention my tubes are open and my pap smear was good as well.

Good luck!

Nice ur tubes are open and the SA results are good. Preseed helps I heard from other ladies here though I havent used them. talk to your Dr about Unexplained Infertility..Its worthwhile to discuss IUI option if its really long since u started TTC and see what she says if your insurance covers it. Typically for people with unexplained infertility clomid+IUI is suggested by the Dr. Or if u aint on Clomid yet, worthwhile to talk to ur Dr abt it. Even if you are ovulating by urself, clomid may give u the extra boost. Good Luck baby love...

Me, Im doing ok, I was on this TTC road for about 2 years until I was blessed...

I m very happy to know abt u.Hope u keep doing well .How far r u in ur pregnancy.? Just started or the baby is ready to come in the new world ?

How exciting all this is hmm..

I am on second round of clomid 50 mg.If it doesn't work till 3rd round then we will think abt IUI.Its very expensive and i don't have insurance.My doc told me that in the first try success rate is only 10 %. If it would have been like 70-80 % ,I would have gone for it the a long time ago.
