Weight is certainly a factor for some women. I'm trying to lose weight now as I'm about 15-20 kgs over what I should be and had my second m/c recently. I'm headed towards IVF and IVF rates are better in women within a healthy weight range. Even faced with the shock of having to face IVF hasn't been enough to get my weight under control. I need to pick up my exercise but I'm finding that hard with the cold weather of late. I am much impoved with my diet but have weak moments every single day.

One bit of new research I can offer you is that Trans fat (trans fatty acids) have been found to affect the fertility of women. If transfats accounts for a high percentage of your diet you are likely to have fertility problems. Cut out the take away food as they are all pretty high in it, as are most store bought biscuits, cakes and donuts. Butter also contains it therefore anything containing butter like pastry, pies, sausage rolls etc have it so they should be off the menu.

Both times I've been pregnant I was overweight but it took me a long time to get pregnant (3 years the first time and 9 months the second time) and both times they ended in pregnancy. I'm now doing my damndest to get fit and healthy so that I can get pg again and get a sticky bub. Good luck with the weight loss.
