Have to loose weight to get pregnant

So, I just got back from the specialist today and she told me that I'm not ovulating soon enough and it's probably due to my weight (210 at 5'7"). So, she says to get down to 170 (40 lbs!) in two months and come back so she can perscribe clomid to try to get my ovulating on track. I have a 28-31 day period, so it's not like it's unusual (and has been since I started). The dr. even did a sonogram of everything and took blood and wants me back for more blood to get a baseline.

It's just so frustrating to be told, you can't conceive because you're fat. I knew I was overweight, have been working out at the gym 3-4 week and that hasn't helped. It's just like being slapped in the face.

I'm sorry, I just needed to let off some steam. Thanks for listening.
