Not a success story but I am a larger lady and we are ttc number one. I have a bmi of 36.5. I've always been larger. I have been trying to lose weight on and off and have usually manage to lose a stone or so then give up and put it back on . No advice unfortunately as I am not succeeding but if we haven't had any luck by September we will be going to the doctors. Dont lose faith, my friend is larger with a much higher bmi than yourself and she is 8 weeks gone xxx
Good luck
goodluck with your weightloss rosapenny. I would try but i notice every time i did i couldnt stick to it and ended up putting on more, so now i am just going with the flow.

I have a BMI of 33.6, however I am really starting to try and watch what I eat as I want to have as healthy pregnancy as possible ( when I get pregnant) and plus my OH has just proposed!!!!!!!!! so I have now got that to loose weight for!
Hoping it's going to be a little bit easier having something to push towards.... fingers crossed!
It is a little bit worrying when your a bit over weight and your not getting pregnant, so i can completely understand,with everything the internet and books say about being healthy ect.)
All I can say is good luck and as we have some common ground, if you want to chat by all means

I just wanted to say that I had a BMI of just over 35 when I fell pregnant. I had been worried that my weight would affect our chances of conceiving but in all honesty I think stress was worse for me... when we had a nice weekend break away I ended up falling and it was our 5th month of trying so knowing how long it can take I feel very lucky.
I had to visit the consultant due to my BMI at the beginning of pregnancy but as I am actually healthy with no blood pressure problems etc I was left under midwife care and thankfully have had no complications through my whole pregnancy - and now there is not much of it left!
You're doing really well, and I just want you to know it will happen for you too. Good luck x
