i have lose a lot of weight since i started zumba dancing. i am ttc but my doctor told me that i need to gain weight to be able to conceive. i am confused, is this true?

just like overweight, underweight can also reduce woman's fertility. so if you are
trying to fall pregnant, you should gain weight then.

yes! because you need to have a certain amount of body fat to be able to ovulate.
being underweight can also cause your period to be irregular and making it harder for you to conceive.

i really don't think so. there's still a chance of getting pregnant. however, you need to gain weight while on pregnancy to be able supply the baby all the nutrients he/she needs.
