Hello, not necessarily, it depends on whether your menstrual cycle is normal or not. If you get periods every 28 days or so then it won’t be an issue. I too am overweight but have normal menstrual cycle so was able to conceive.
Exactly its all depends upon menstrual cycle. If the cycle is normal then there is no need to be the worry. But it is better if she visits her doctor. The doctor will surely help and educate her in a good way. My cousin had faced a similar kind of situation too and she conceived naturally. Our clinic supported her a lot.
Hi there, it would be difficult to tell that being overweight hamper getting pregnant because as said by Velma White it depends on the menstrual cycle. If you have normal cycle it won’t be an issue but if you are obese due to hormonal imbalances that affect menstrual cycles and prevent ovulation, then getting pregnant could be harder.
Hi, thank you for the information. I have a normal menstrual cycle.
Hi, you should see a doctor then, they will be able to advice you better.
Hi AgnesJohnson , May be overweight is a reason for some extant but not completely . You should consult with your doctor . she will guide you better........
Agnes, listen to me carefully. I don’t know if you are overweight. But if you think so then consult your doctor. I’m sure that he will tell you the right thing. I am thankful to you that you have taken up this point. There are women who have the same question on their mind. I think this post will answer their question in a better way.
No dear, overweight didn't hamper getting pregnant. Well, dear its depend on the menstrual cycle. Your cycle is normal so there is no problem. Everything will be alright. But you should visit your doctor too. He will surely guide you better than us. My good wishes and prayers are with you.
