It is generally believed that it is easier to get pregnant if you are at a healthy weight. Studies have shown that women who are overweight (body mass index-BMI-above 30) or underweight (body mass index -BMI-under 20) have more difficulty getting pregnant. So if you fall into one of these categories, it's a good idea to get yourself into a healthy range before you start trying. And if you're already having some difficulty getting pregnant, have your body mass index assessed and try to get to a healthier weight--it could make the difference in achieving a pregnancy.
