How does a bad diet or lack of exercise delay pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They don't, really: Neither of those things has any direct effect at all on pregnancy. Women significantly over-or-underweight usually develop ovulatory irregularities that can delay conception. 'bad diets' consistent with malnutrition and poor health may delay pregnancy for the same reason.
