Studies show that being overweight or underweight can negatively affect your fertility and increase health and safety risks during IVF treatment.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy. Use our simple calculator to check your BMI:
Being overweight can affect your natural hormone balance which can cause irregular menstrual cycles and in some cases, prevent you from ovulating. On the other hand, if you are underweight this can cause your menstrual cycle to stop completely as your body tries to preserve it's resources so having a healthy BMI is very important.
If you've been trying to conceive for over 12 months and not had any success then please do get in touch with us, we offer a range of tests to help understand your fertility health.
