They say that’s being underweight is not ideal for trying to conceive. The body may reject or prevent conception because it does not feel that the body is in an ideal condition to conceive. 

I eat healthy but I don’t eat a lot. My plates are quite small. It’s how I have always eaten. But since I am still breastfeeding our 18 month old daughter, maintaining a healthy weight has been more difficult.

This cycle I’ve been trying to eat more through like the day… keep my calories up and my hopefully gain some weight in hopes of creating a healthier environment for conception.

Disclaimer* I understand that everybody is different and there are plenty of women who are on the lighter side or may be deemed underweight by society standards who have had no issues conceiving..
