    hi there i understand what you are feeling, my and DF were overweight and spent almost 2 years TTC and were about to start treatment but we made lifestyle changes he lost 15 kilos and i lost almost 20 then 3 months later we fell pregnant! i put him on menevit and i got onto vitamins and i truly believed the weight loss improved the sitatuation, my thyroid was back to working order and his sperm count obviously increased! we didnt drink or smoke either, there is no harm in giving it a go not just TTC but for your own health. good luck!

    loosing weight may help with falling pg - loosing as little as 10% of your bodyweight has been shown to have benefits. But it does sound as if something else may be going on in your body, so hopefully the doc will be able to find out what may be causing the irregular periods and have some options for you. But it is possible to fall pg while overweight - I myself was 30kg overweight when I fell pg with my first.

    Good luck TTC
