When you got pregnant were you at your happy weight? Do you think that affected your ability to get pregnant?

2nd pregnancy- 10 pds over happy weight, took 6/7 months to get pregnant

I was 10 pounds up from my happy weight, but I had just started a new exercise routine and was toning up when I got pregnant, so I looked like I was at my happy weight.

Nope - I'm definitely over my happy weight (by about 20 pounds). But we still got pregnant in 4 cycles (and really, we got pregnant the first cycle we really focused on having good timing).

ugh i was very far from my happy weight when i got pregnant. probably about 30lbs at least! we got pregnant our first cycle and i was pretty shocked (and grateful). i assumed because of my weight it might take some more time which is why we started when we did (probably a bit prematurely).

For my DD, I had recently lost 25 lbs, but I was still about 60-70lbs over a healthy weight for my height. We got pregnant on the first cycle that time, and I only gained 20 lbs.
We are TTC now, and I'm a few pounds below where I was before my first pregnancy. We've just started so I'm not sure how long it will take. I'm not as happy with where I am this time, since I had hoped to lose another 25 lbs beforehand. I'm hoping to continue working on weight loss while we try, but I don't want to do anything extreme for fear it will mess with my ability to conceive.

I was at a happy weight when I got pregnant with DS through NTNP (but very fast).
I was at a skinny weight when actively TTC DD and it took about 5 months.

When I got bfp w ds, I weighed 136. 8 lbs over happy/wedding weight.
Trying for #2 right now and I am at my happy wt for the first time since before ttc ds. Part of me thinks I need to put on some weight to have success bfp since I'm on the low end of wt range for my height, but regardless Im active and healthy so I'm not going to worry about it

I was 2 lbs over my happy weight (so yes, happy weight basically) and it took us 6 months to get a BFP (after stopping the pill).

All 3 times I got pregnant I was not at what I would call a happy weight, but I was at my healthiest and was in the process of losing weight.

TTC makes me gain weight, so both times I have been heavier than I'd like. When I'm trying, I have a harder time watching what I eat and an easier time indulging too much.
ETA: I forgot about my m/c - I was at my thinnest since before my wedding when we conceived last year and I lost it at 9 weeks.

I was close to my highest weight ever when we got KU while NTNP.
I've lost 10-15 lbs in the 9 months since then (most of it right around then since I got norovirus before I MCed) and we haven't been able to conceive.

Yes, and it took 8 months. Second time, up 10 lbs, first cycle trying.
