Yes: Obesity can cause ovulatory inhibition by the peripheral fat manufacturing exogenous(extra) estrogen. In addition, the obesity can increase your chances significantly for diabetes, PCOS, hypertension and elevated lipids making any potential pregnancy difficult and high risk. Even a 20 or 30 lbs. weight reduction from 229 can make a significant difference in spontaneous ovulation. Diet & exercise.
