planning ahead

Right now i'm engaged, and my fiance and i talk about having kids...would anyone know if having a thyroid problem or being overwieght cause you not to get pregnant?

I have read that women that are overweight have a harder time getting pregnant..but if you keep trying lol..im sure you'll get pregnant eventually hehe never heard anything about thyroid..but it makes sense if yours is over active or underactive..gaining a lot of weight or losing weight.. I suggest seeing a gyno :)

I have a underactive thyriod :( Kinda sucks because i have to be dependent on medication just to control it.

well....I'd suggest chatting with your gyno or gp. That's what I did when I went in for my annual exam. I just told her I was ready to try conceive, and I'm borderline anemic, and have some female issues, and asked her what I can do to help me conceive, what I should do to work on preparing. Basically she told me to take some OTC prenatal vitamins, watch my diet, excercise, cut out alcohol & caffeine, and have fun doing the baby dance. :)
