Hi,
I see that you stated your weight in your post. Do you see that as an issue? Oftentimes, your diet and mindset can play a role in pregnancy. Additionally, your partner's health can be a factor as well. Good luck.

Well Yes I do see my weight as a problem but I have been told by at least 3 drs that it should not affect me getting pregnant. I am trying to lose weight now anyways.
But as for my husband he is very healthy and is not overweight. Thanks for you comment..

Not to over step my bounds, but there is a lot of research linking dangers of obesity in children, birth defects, neurotube defects, and malformations to overweight mothers. You can check out info on Dr. Joel Fuhrman's site "Disease Proof." As you are still young, why don't you spend this time to focus on yourself, get to a healthy weight and thus, ensure that your future baby(s) is healthier. Even though your doctor's say that being overweight doesn't effect your getting pregnant, you must have an inkling that it does, or you wouldn't be asking them. Trust your motherly intuition.
