Eight surprising fertility facts (from Discovery Health)
Thought this was interesting!
Fertility Fact #1: Overall good health isn't necessarily a sign that you (or your partner, for that matter) are fertile.
Fertility Fact #2: Your weight affects your ability to conceive.
Fertility Fact #3: Sexual positions — coital or postcoital — don't affect your chances of conception.
Fertility Fact #4: The biological clock ticks for men too.
Fertility Fact #5: Ovulation day is not necessarily the best day to try to conceive a child.
Fertility Fact #6: However brief your partner's particular choice of underwear, it's unlikely that it will impact his fertility.
Fertility Fact #7: Birth control choices have fertility implications.
Fertility Fact #8: Specific foods or diets do not have a large impact on fertility.
Further information for each fertility fact can be found here.

 Me too. I am overweight. Trying to take some weight off or at least stay steady at one weight. I know deep down that most of my issues stem from my weight.

Me too - but without medication, I can't lose weight. It just doesn't happen...no matter what I do. For my best friends' wedding, for 6 months straight, i went to the gym for no less than 3 hours a day EVERY DAY and lost NOTHING. The doc had to put me on meds and that was the only way i lost anything....and as soon as i went off it - i didn't lose another ounce...
