You've done really well hun to lose 2 stone so far, i think the reason they say that is because the chances of conceiving are harder if you are overweight / underweight. You could try loosing some more this appointment will motivate you, don't feel deflated you can only do your best! x

Great job on the weight loss so far. I found out about being overweight issues and have been on a diet for the last 4 months. One of the reasons why it affects fertility is because fat cells produce estrogen. When your body have too much estrogen it disrups the hormonal balance your body needs to get pregnant or it can effect ovulation. I will be cheering for you along your journey.

I would suggest to keep up with the weight loss (good job so far) and definately stop smoking, not only does smoking decrease fertility but it also is not good when you do get pregnant. Start now so it is not harder to quit when you do get the BFP!!!

Good luck!
