I'm obese and my ob-gyn says I need to loose weight to get pregnant. But I see these women who have gotten pregnant that are bigger than me. is it time to find a new ob-gyn?

      It’s true, I’m also currently overweight and trying to bring down my insulin and prolactin levels, while two of my friends who are much heavier than me have gotten pregnant naturally without any issues. Maybe it’s an additional factor like, for example, low AMH/ egg count combined with being overweight would hinder pregnancy. Do you have any other issues like blocked Fallopian tubes or Low ovarian reserves? I am trying to cut out carbs, alcohol and sugar for the next few months and see what’s going to happen. Losing a bit of weight won’t hurt your chances at all, and I think most obgyn will agree.
