Is it harder to conceive when you're underweight?

Question

I used to be underweight a couple of months ago and it took me 5 or 6 months to conceive, but sadly i had a miscarriage....now I'm not underweight anymore, I'm normal weight....do you think it will be easier to conceive now that I'm not underweight anymore? because i don't want to wait so long....i really want a baby, especially after the miscarriage.

Answer 1

It will all depend. Are you regular? Any very severe cramping during your period? If you are regular then the doctors say to try to conceive for a year, if nothing happens then you are consider infertile and you should see a specialist. You can get check with you GYN to see if everything is fine. I wish you lots of luck!

Answer 2

Absolutely.  The body needs a certain amount of fat in order to support ovulation and sustain a pregnancy.  I would continue to stay within normal weight range and chart your cycles so that you know when ovulate.  Good Luck!
