Hi Munchy....I'm really new (as in only posted tonight) at this, but I wanted to reply to you. Apparently for some women weight is a definite factor in trying to conceive, particularly if you're apple shaped, ie carry the weight mostly around your tummy. I'm overweight as well, but have been lucky in conceiving easily (though I've only had one success out of 4 pregnancies). I was told by Gyn that weight isnt usually a factor in M/C but sometimes in conception.....hope this helps. Like you though, if they say "lose weight", I panic, worry, get deppressesd and overeat. Emotional eating sucks.
