Generally speaking, and I know
I probably should test, what are my chances getting prego?

My mother was a heavy drink, smoker, over dosed on Ibruprofen frequently, drank 6-8 cups of coffee a day and soda on too of that, and got high a lot as well, and was over weight, she also never took a prenatal. It too her 4 year and 2 miscarriages to get pregnant.

I'm over weight, and have cut out caffeine, never smoked, never drank, and I'm taking a prenatal. what do YOU think are my chances of getting pregnant?

    Like pp I wouldn't attribute your mom's behavioral choices or addictions to your chances. Being overweight reduces your chances - you can find studies online or ask your OB about how much so, but otherwise sounds good. My only thought is if the mc's were due to hereditary uterine (e.g. septum) or hormonal issues (e.g. PCOS) that might be present for you also. I have a friend and I myself had uterine issues that were most likely present for our mothers or grandmothers. They had problems bearing children (there wasn't treatment at the time - it was try, try again) and so did we. GL with TTC when you are ready!

    No connection. My mom got pregnant at 42 from one night of unprotected sex. She's very fertile while I started trying to get pregnant at the age of 22 and it took four IVF cycles to get there,
