Is it true or is it a myth?

Question

Is it true that when your in a certain weight and  fat percentage it's easy for a woman to conceive? 
I'm 102 lbs, 5"2 skinny and very athletic. My family member keeps telling me that I should fatten myself up a little bit. That way it's easy to get pregnant. I don't know who to believe. Some people say it's true but others say  it's not. Any advice? :) Thank you ladies!

Answer

Are you cycles regular. That's what it really comes down to. If you don't have the proper body fat it throws your cycles off which decreases your chances of being fertile and becoming pregnant. So there may be some truth to it but only you would know for sure :)

Answer

I have two kiddos and I weighed 106lbs at 8wks, with my first and 115lbs at 6wks, with my second. I'm 5'9".

Answer

Starving people in the third would reproduce all the time, as far as being too skinny to conceive, unless you are dangerously anorexic or bulimic, isn't much of an issue in the developed and fed portions of the world. Not to say it doesn't happen, it does, but it's unlikely!

Answer

I don't think it's true. I am 5'5" and weighed 110 when I got pregnant (I'm down a couple pounds now from the nausea and such) and I had no problem at all getting pregnant.

Answer

I'm 5'3" and have only conceived when weighing at or abov 107

Answer

It's not so much that it's easier if you're at a certain weight or percentage as being too far to either extreme can make it harder, but not for everyone.

If you're healthy, don't worry about it!

Answer

My cousins 95# soaking wet and about your height. She's had two unplanned pregnancys and one planned. So no.

Answer

I believe that it's under 12% body fat that woman stop ovulating normally...doesn't mean they never do ovulate, but getting pregnant is going to be a lot harder in general
