Achieve a Healthy BMI
The optimal Body Mass Index for female fertility is 20-25. If your BMI falls above 30, the good news is that as little as 5-10 percent weight loss will significantly improve pregnancy rates. A body weight is lower than 18 can contribute to irregular ovulation and decreased overall health.
