I've been told that I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) which effects most overweight people. I have a good 100 lbs to lose before being "normal". I am wondering if anyone else has been going throught a similar situation, and if losing weight has helped to get pregnant? Thank you.

While I don't have PCOS - I do have some friends that do and losing weight does help - also have you asked your dr about putting you on metformin? That can help you as well.

My mother also had a friend that tried for years to have a baby and then finally gave up and said "if I can't be pregnant, at least I can be skinny" She lost 35 lbs and BOOM got pregnant by accident...

So it's definitely possible.

We've been trying for 3 years and I've gained a lot of weight from stress and the meds...so now I'm going to try to get healthy and not concentrate so much on it....I think we can urge each other on!
