Yes you can get pregnant just as easily as a skinny women. Doctor do recommend losing weight before trying to get pregnant just because of the fact that you will most likely put on some more weight while pregnant.
So being over weight does not effect a women getting pregnant.
Now if you find you are having lots of problems then you might want to make sure there isn't anything wrong with you or your partner.

Being fat can sometimes make it harder for you to get pregnant, but it's not impossible. I am overweight and because of this wasn't ovulating. I had to go on fertility pills to get pregnant and it worked. I now have a beautiful 2 yr old son. But, by all means if you are planning to try to get pregnant..try to lose a little weight. But, do it by eatting right. Focus on getting healthy or improving your health first and take prenatal vitamins. Then, you can try. Your body will be your baby's home for 9 months and being pregnant may be harder on you physically if you are overweight. So, anything you can do that is healthy to lose some weight before trying, would be a good thing.

Yes. I was/am fat and I have a beautiful 19-month-old princess. I guess you need to define fat too. I'm about 50 pounds overweight. I was about 75 pounds overweight when I got pregnant. There are risks involved when you're pregnant such as getting diabetes or preeclampsia but I was careful about what I ate and monitored by my doctor and had a wonderful pregnancy. Good luck.

You CAN get pregnant, but you may want to consider losing some weight before you do. Doing so will help prevent gestational diabetes, as well as decreasing the odds that your baby will be overweight. In general, a pregnancy when you are overweight is going to be more uncomfortable and likely more difficult with more complications. You may be much happier if you at least lose a few pounds before you get pregnant. Good luck!

oh darling of course you can! I did even after they said it was highly unlikely. I have polycystic ovaries which makes you fat and gives you dodgy plumming too!
There are some drugs your GP or Gynae consultant could prescribe - I went on Metformin - made me thinner but felt hideous. Go and see your GP if you haven't already and they wil be able to help you.
Being fat is not the end of your chances. I admit it makes it more difficult to become pregnant and there are risks once you are pregnant (I was borderline diabetic brought on by the pregnancy and this can give you a big baby - mine was 8lbs 4oz) but lots of fat women are pregnant and make wonderful mothers
take heart and don't worry

In fact a little bit of extra fat on a woman may not be such a bad thing for fertility. Of course too much is too much, as is being too thin. Balance is Key. I read a study somewhere recently but can't find it now, that women with a little extra weight for their height and age are more likely to be more fertile than women who are too thin.
If you're obese then you should lose weight before getting pregnant for the sake of the health of yourself and your baby.

I think that most of you people who are answering this question are shallow. Just because your obese doesn't mean that you can not get pregnant. I MYSELF AM NOT A SMALL GIRL. I HAVE HEALTHY AND BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. If you are overweight you may run into some health problems. Such as High blood pressure, Diabetes, and you may have a harder time delivering. But that doesn't mean that you can't have children or get pregnant. So if your wanting to have a baby then go for it. I wish you luck.

Infertility can be caused by a huge number of factors: hormone imbalance, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Endometriosis, Anovulatory Cycles, physical blockage, inadequate hormone production, short luteal phase, lack of lutenizing hormone, high levels or prolactin, and many others.

Poor nutrition often plays a major role, as does exposure to toxins. Age plays less of a role before menopause than was originally thought. While there are many wonderful naturally minded fertility specialists out there, in many cases it is not possible for them to test for and address any of these possible underlying issues.

honey! Quit putting yourself down! "fat" is such a harsh word! And yes if your are "heavier set" then you can still concieve. There is no reason why you can't. just try to take care of yourself for YOU! If you do get pregnant you want to be healthy and live a long life with this child right? Good luck to you!

As long as the guy doesn't get your vagina confused with the ruffles rolls of your skin, or a donut. Don't leave any food hidden in those rolls you have.
You may want to iron out the rolls in your skin first. That way, he'll be able to find your vagina. You may want to try getting a crane to help out lifting your stomach up out of the way.
What kind of question is that?
If you dumb enough to ask that question, than I hope you get whatever answers you didn't intend to receive. For the child's sake, it's probably best you keep those donuts hidden, the wrinkles in the skin, and don't bother with the crane..
