More info needed: Too many possibilities for these symptoms to speculate, and not enough information about how low your weight is. See a doctor for both pregnancy check and evaluation of the cause of your weight loss. Good luck!

Im going to start trying to conceive a baby soon, but I am 160 lbs and 56 with a BMI of 25.8-26. I want to get to 150 to be a little healthier weight /better BMI for pregnancy. Is it safe to diet and workout while trying to conceive?

Hello! I am 26 & will be ttc very soon. I want to start exercising but Im concerned that it will affect my body fat/BMI & chances of conceiving since Im already on the lower side (I weigh roughly 102). Even one day of exercising affects my period?

Baby question: I am currently 5 6 and 160 lbs and on a diet to get to 150, with a long term post-pregnancy goal of 135 lbs. I believe my BMI is 26 right now. Is it still safe for me to try to conceive?

Based on BMI I am underweight. But my periods are much regular 30 days cycle . Will underweight still create issues in conceiving?
