A member asked:
I am 19, obese, a smoker, no other medical problems, what are my chances of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Severe obesity: Can decrease fertility, maybe by up to 50%. Definitely not big enough of an effect to skip contraception. On the other hand, if you are severely obese, there are many other good reasons to lose weight than to increase your chances of getting pregnant.
