Fertility specialist  usually recommend their patients to lose or put on weight before trying to conceive. This is true of both men and women. Fertility experts at https://kicbengaluru.com advise their patients to do the following in order to increase their chances of becoming pregnant naturally.

1) A body mass index or BMI below 19 will make you underweight and might make it difficult to  conceive and carry a pregnancy to term due to lack of proper macro and micro nutrients in your system
2) A BMI of above 30 would make you obese wherein you might experience difficulty to conceive and if you conceive will put you at a higher risk of developing pregnancy induced complications such as Diabetes, hypertension and even increase the risk of miscarriage.
3) You may stop having regular menstrual cycles when your BMI goes down to 18.5 or even less. This will interfere with ovulation and pregnancy
5) Statistics have also revealed that children of obese mothers may face difficulties post birth
6) Low sperm count and abnormal motility have been discovered in a number of overweight men who tend to be infertile with altered testosterone levels
