Underweight: Your wife is underweight and should probably consult with a physician before becoming pregnant to make sure that there are no underlying medical problems contributing to her weight problem.

Fertility: can be affected by being underweight. Your wife is indeed considered underweight by medical standards. This could potentially lead to difficulty conceiving due to increased potential for anovulation (absent) or irregular periods and hormone imbalances.
