Does anyone know if being overweight can hinder ovulation and conception ?
Fat cells either produce or promote production of estrogens in your body (I can’t remember which ones). The more fat cells, the more is produced. This estrogen is not the same as the “good” estrogen that you are supposed to produce to develop mature follicles. But this “bad” type of estrogen inhibits production of that “good” estrogen. When this happens, you don’t get the cycle you are supposed to have. Clomid stimulates the hypothalamus, but if it still recognizes all that “bad” estrogen, it won’t do the trick.
