So heres the thing- I got pregnant all on my own in 2005 wafter stopping BC Pills 4 weeks prior
At the time I weighed 90-95 lbs- was working out regulary at the gym and felt I was in good shape
I am participating in a weight loss challenge-
She weighed us and calculated our BMI-
I am 4 feet 8 inches and weigh 109 lbs- Which is normal for my height BUT my Body mass index is 30.2! OMG I am basically obese..
Funny thing is I am not "Fat" I guess a littly chubby- I gained 55 lbs with DS and had lost all of it only to gain 10 lbs back, but according to that I am FAT
So now onto my question.. Is this a possible reason why I have not been able to conceive over the past 2 years- How much does Body Fat Index, not weight play a part in TTC ?
I am suppose to undergo a FET in 2 weeks- and got to thinking last night- maybe I should work on getting my BMI down, way down before embarking on the FET- Basically I do not want to "waste" my chances if my body is going to reject it-
Your professional opinions are welcome

Dr. Q has written some stuff here about weight and BMI, and you can find it by searching for those topics.
Dr. Littman is actually writing an article on this very topic and I'm gonna post it this weekend, it'll talk more in depth about these issues as well.
good luck!
