Can being about 3 stones over ideal weight really effect TTC?

Answer 1

Studies have shown that being overweight can affect a woman's fertility. Too much body fat contributes to elevated levels of estrogen which decrease corpus luteal function.

However, you should not overlook less obvious factors that may also contribute to your difficulty in conceiving.

Answer 2

Your idea of 3 stones and the books idea of 3 stones might be a little different. And ideally if you are over the books standard of weight then yes it really does matter. It doesn't take much to lose a few pounds so just try to lose a few the 2 weeks for you ovulate.
