I'm overweight I'm 23 and I'm starting to think that obesity can prevent having kids or cause pcos am I wrong?

It can make it much more difficult, but not in possible. I know loads of obese women who even got pregnant without trying, so definitely does happen. It can make it harder for some though. Also it usually makes some things in birth or delivery a bit more difficult or risky.
Good thing is it's one of the most easily solved fertility or pregnancy problems.

PCOS can make it difficult yes, Obesity, i haven't heard of that preventing you from getting pregnant. But regardless, you should take control of your situation besides thats for your own health reasons.

No obesity won't prevent pregnancy, however the overall general health of the mother to be could have affects.

Excessive weight can make women infertile. Just like weighing too little has the same effect.

If you're still menstruating you're probably fertile. But it's not a guarantee. Go to a fertility clinic for accurate answers.

I think you're wrong obesity can't prevent having kids if you already have place to get sperm from.

I'm pretty sure that over a certain weight, a woman's periods can stop, so yes. It can prevent having kids.

Obviously this may not be the most credible site but here: yourfertility.org.au/.../

'If you’re trying to get pregnant, or intend to start trying, know that being overweight – especially significantly so – can affect your chances of conceiving and having a healthy baby. If you are overweight and planning to get pregnant in the next year or few years, you might commit to a healthy eating and regular exercise plan. Losing even a few kilos can make a difference. The father’s weight can also affect your chances of getting pregnant.'

Not entirely sure, but I think it can. It is definitely known to contribute to things like miscarriage.

It can cause a number of bio-malfunctions... Problems with fertility is one.
