Is it true being under/over weight can lower your chances of conceiving ?

Question

I am 22 years old & weigh 108 lbs. I am healthy I eat a lot just don't really gain weight. Doctors say I'm underweight but they don't seem concerned. I'm curious to what everyone else thinks

Answer

I guess it depends on the person. My sister in law is 20, she weighed 95 lbs when she got pregnant. She didn't have any issues getting pregnant and she's currently pregnant with twins, and gaining the proper amount of weight. Like I said, it all depends on the person :)

Answer

im 5'4 290lb and im pregnant with my 8th

Answer

I'm 27, 5 foot 9, and started at 114 pounds. I had issues getting pregnant (7 years 2 months to our rainbow) but weight wasn't the issue. It was a concern though once I got pregnant. OB wants a minimum of 35 pounds throughout. I'm 22 weeks 2 days and only gained 10 so far. I've got a long way to go in this last half.
