True or false: skinnier ladies have a harder time getting pregnant?

Question

Yes, I know everyone is different. But I've heard skinnier ladies like unhealthy skinny have a harder time getting pregnant and end up miscarriaging a lot more then average/healthy size women. Is that true?

Answer

It's true on both ends 
If you are extremely underweight it can cause problems with falling pregnant amd carrying to full term but also being extremely overweight can have the same problem

Answer

My mom is super skinny and she had no trouble getting pregnant with me

Answer

Overweight and underweight poses problems conceiving

Answer

Yes it's true. A healthy amount of body fat helps with conceiving and during pregnancy. This means having too little or too much body fat can make it harder to conceive or carry to term. This is why many athletes with very low body fat, like cross country runners, have a difficult time conceiving. Many of them don't have periods/ovulate due to excessive exercise and low body fat.
Obviously this doesn't mean it's impossible for skinny or overweight people to conceive, but it is harder.
