Im on the thinner side and trying to conceive since few months with no luck yet. Wondering if my weight could be a reason. Did anyone here gain a bit before they got pregnant?
There isnt one fixed number, its more about a healthy BMI range. With my PCOS, my doctor said being in a healthy weight, not too low or high, really helps cycles regulate. I dont want to overclaim, your doctor can check your BMI properly.
Its not a magic number, its about being in a healthy range. Too underweight or too overweight both can affect periods and ovulation. Best is to get your BMI and reports checked by a gynac and they guide what suits you.
I was wondering the same while planning. From what I read, its about healthy BMI rather than a target weight. I started eating better and walking and my doctor said thats the right direction. Going to confirm my numbers at my next visit.
It depends on your height and body, doctors usually look at BMI between roughly 18.5 and 24.9 as the healthy zone for conceiving. But this is individual, so a quick consult to assess your weight and cycles is the best move.
