Can weight gain have an effect on you if you're trying to get pregnant. i am 4'11 & 168lbs and have not been on birth control for 7 years.

Yes it can: Weight gain can affect your ovaries ability to ovulate. If you have been trying to get pregnant for awhile and/or are having irregular periods then schedule a visit with an obgyn to discuss.
