Does weight matter...

Hiya... I'm new here but just wanted to ask...
We've been ttc since April and nothing yet. Someone mentioned to me that if I lost some weight that it would help? I am overweight (no getting over that particular hurdle) and always have been but I have friends who are bigger than me and have had children. So just wondering how important it is? Just feels like it's never gonna happen 😢

Are your periods regular? I noticed that when I'm over weight mine aren't. I struggled to conceive for ages, lost a stone and conceived. I do think they are related
