Infertility rates are increasing day by day, but at times the reasons for them go undiagnosed. At times, IVF specialists are unable to pinpoint a single reason accurately. You will be surprised to know that weight can be the reason for infertility.
As one of the leading IVF doctors in Ahmedabad, Dr. Nisarg Patel of Nisha IVF Hospital is an expert and well experienced in this field.

Weight imbalances can lead to infertility. It is a fact that obese and overweight people are likely to face infertility issues. Excess weight implies excess fat cells, which cause hormonal imbalance and, in turn, disturb the menstrual cycle. As a result, the ovulation cycle stops, and hence there are no eggs available for fertilization.
Obese women with a BMI over 30 can try to get pregnant, but if they fail to do so after six months or a year of trying, then seeking the advice of a fertility specialist is preferable. Also, women above 35 need not delay their IVF appointment any longer.
Underweight women or with low BMI
Yes, Underweight women with low BMI or those with low BMI are likely to experience infertility. In addition, these women can experience hormonal imbalance leading to fertility issues.
Body fat helps regulate hormones, so women with less body fat are likely to face hormonal issues, which could hamper fertility.
Ideally, women with healthy weight and BMI between 20 and 25 are likely to conceive naturally and faster.
Women with high body fat levels are likely to produce excess estrogen, which stops ovulation. Those women with a BMI of 18.5 or less face issues of no estrogen production because of an imbalance in the hormones. Therefore, underweight women will not get their periods as they do not have adequate estrogen or due to lack of it.
There is no guarantee of conceiving in underweight women who still get their periods as the blood sugar levels are off the mark and an imbalance in the endocrine system leads to irregular ovulation. It can take more than one year to conceive if it happens.
There is a high risk of premature birth, stillbirth, and babies being born with a low birth weight if the mother is underweight compared to mothers with a healthy weight. Therefore, it is best to consult an IVF center in Ahmedabad to understand the pregnancy results of underweight mothers.
