Fertility and Sterility, the primary medical journal for professionals in the infertility field, released an analysis of sixteen studies dealing with weight and miscarriage risk. Analysis of all of those results have shown that the risk of miscarriage was 67% higher in overweight women and may be even higher in women who required fertility treatment. This has many implications for women with PCOS. Besides being more likely to be overweight, women with PCOS often require fertility treatment to get pregnant.
