Should I try to conceive now when i am overweight. My BMI is 27 which is considered overweight and should have BMI of 25 to be considered normal weight. Which means i need to lose around 10 pounds to have a normal weight. What are your thought of being overweight by 10 lbs before conceiving? Will that cause issue during pregnancy?

    The best person to ask about this would be your doctor. 10 pounds overweight is probably not a big deal, but a doctor would know better than I would.

    For what it's worth I've conceived before and had no issues with pregnancy while being very overweight. My fertility docs and obgyn didn't really mention my weight and my BMI is much higher than yours. On the flip side I'm extremely active and work out hard every day with a mix of running, yoga, and weight lifting. I think my physical fitness helps balance things for me.
    Every body is different. But @britters314 is right, you and your doctor would know what's right for you.

    They are right about it. Your doctor is the only person who can give the best advice whether you can try to conceive despite being overweight or not.

    Yes, I also think that it would be best to consult a doctor and decide what to do in your situation.
