Reproductive Weight Loss Management in Birmingham, AL

When it comes to fertility, weight is a meaningful piece of the bigger picture. Body weight can influence everything from hormone levels to ovulation patterns, which is why weight management is often part of the conversation when trying to conceive.

At ACRM, we don’t want you to focus on the number on the scale. Instead, we want to help you create the healthiest possible environment for your body to support a pregnancy. With guidance and care that meet you where you are, our weight loss management program will give you a new lease on life, both physically and mentally.

How Does Weight Affect Fertility?

Understand the connection between your health and your reproductive journey.

At ACRM, we know how personal and emotional the road to pregnancy can be. We also know that body weight can influence how easily that journey begins. That’s why we created a weight management program that works alongside your fertility care, not in place of it.

Small changes to movement, nutrition, and daily habits can make a real impact on ovulation, hormone balance, and overall fertility outcomes. It can also raise the chances of pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and cesarean birth. It’s also linked to:

  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Trouble conceiving
  • Higher medication doses needed for fertility treatments
  • Lower sperm count and motility
  • Increased risk of miscarriage
  • Hormonal imbalances, including decreased testosterone

Who Can Benefit From Our Program?

This is more than fertility. It’s about feeling better in your body.

Our weight management program is designed for anyone with a BMI over 30, which falls into the category of obesity. If you’re not sure where you land, here’s a quick breakdown: a BMI between 19 and 24 is considered normal, 25 to 29 is categorized as overweight, and 30+ is considered obese.

While this weight management program was originally built with fertility patients in mind, it’s just as valuable for men and women who aren’t actively trying to conceive. That’s why we welcome anyone ready to take a thoughtful, supported step toward better health.

Whether you’re working toward parenthood or want more energy, confidence, and fewer health concerns in daily life, this program gives you a structured path forward. We focus on long-term wellness, not quick fixes—so you can feel good now and in the years to come.

Reclaim Your Health With Our Weight Loss Management FAQs

In general, we recommend starting the weight loss program before beginning fertility treatment, as even small changes in weight can positively impact your hormonal balance, ovulation, and overall treatment outcomes. That said, if you’re already in the middle of fertility care, you’re still welcome to join.

Our program is designed to safely support individuals who are actively trying to conceive. Your care team will work closely with you to create a plan that aligns with both your weight loss and fertility goals. If you become pregnant while participating, just let your provider know so we can adjust your nutrition plan to best support a healthy pregnancy.

It depends on your starting point, your body, and your goals, but most patients begin to see changes within the first few weeks. Lab markers can improve quickly, even before there’s a visible difference on the scale.

Weight loss is only one part of the picture. We’re also tracking energy levels, hormone balance, menstrual regularity, and other signs of metabolic improvement. Your timeline may look different than others, and that’s perfectly normal. We’ll be with you through every phase with medical guidance and regular check-ins.
