Yes, you BMI low!: I'd have my thyroid checked first. Are you not eating? Or over exercising. Either can make conception difficult. You should try to put on some weight, and if you become pregnant, you will have the luxury of eating well. Take your prenatals too! but it can usually be safe!

Yes: But you need to eat so your body can provide nutrition to your baby.
