Unfortunately yes: Studies have shown that obesity is an additional risk factor for infertility even in women who have regular ovulatory cycles. So if you're not pregnant by your 3rd cycle, you may want to take a break from fertility treatments and just work on your diet, exercise, and weight. You could work with a personal trainer and a nutritionist. Any improvement will help!
