A recent study showed that cycle cancellation rates became more common with increasing body mass index (BMI) and that the chances of not becoming pregnant, or failing to carry a pregnancy to term, rose significantly with increasing obesity.
Does weight effect conception rates? What about body fat distribution?
There was a study published in the British Medical Journal that found that very lean women and very obese women (BMI >38) had lower conception rates. However, body fat distribution was found to have a greater impact.
Women with a high waist-hip ratio had greater trouble conceiving — so being shaped like an apple is not as good for conception as being shaped like a pear. PCO women may be more likely to have the apple shape.

I agree with the above statement above the difficulty of pregnancy for the obese women. Another factor may be hereditary and stress. The latter could be possible be the cause of not becoming pregnant. Anyway, one must practice a healthy living and avoid foods that are rich in fats of sugar.
