4 months no AF, pretty sure it's because I'm overweight- should I just lose weight and skip the doc?
My last AF was May 3rd, in a few days it will have been 4 months with no AF. All preg tests negative and not experiencing symptoms. I know it's because I am obese. Should I just try to lose the weight and then go see a doc if my period does not return? I lost 25pounds last summer and my periods were the most regular they've ever been. I gained it back and now nothing. I don't want to pay to see a doc and have him run tests just to be told I'm fat- I'd rather get rid of that factor first and then see if there is really a problem. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you do? What do you wish you had done?

memberBeing overweight can negatively impact your fertility, no question. Sometimes, however, it is connected to an additional problem like PCOS. I would start losing weight now and plan on seeing a doctor soon also. You want to make sure you are not suffering another condition that makes conceiving difficult or impossible. All the best.
