Obese couples have a more difficult time conceiving a baby than couples of normal weight, according to a study published on Tuesday identifying another consequence of putting on too much weight.
Researchers tracked nearly 48,000 Danish couples between 1996 and 2002, including about 7,600 couples with both the man and woman either overweight or obese according to standards set by the World Health Organization.
They measured how long it took couples to conceive a baby once they began unprotected sex in a bid to have a child.
If both the man and woman were obese, their chances of having to wait longer than a year before the woman became pregnant were nearly three times higher than for couples of normal weight, the study found.
If the man and woman were both overweight, their likelihood of waiting longer than a year before pregnancy was 1.4 times higher.
While doctors already knew that extra weight could affect fertility in women and men as individuals, this study looked at what happened to the fertility of couples when both the man and woman were overweight.

As long as we're being crude --- I've wondered how they take care of "hygiene" after using the bathroom, considering that their arms are too short to reach around all that blubber to reach vital parts.
