Specializes in Gynecology

Probably not: Increase in body mass index and weight does not usually affect fertility, although there are some hormonal issues that occur and may be associated with weight gain. A fertility specialist can help decide if these issues are at play. Normal time to achieve pregnancy in "normal" couples is 8-15 months.
