A member asked:

60lbs overweight. don't take in more than 950 cal/day. i workout 90min/day. is it ok to start trying to conceive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but: Yes, I don't see any reason not to try, but if you are 53 as you say, your chances are not great. You might want to talk to your OB/GYN and get preconception counseling regarding the risks of pregnancy at that age.
