Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening measure that relates your weight to your height. While it doesn't measure body fat or muscle directly, it's a widely used indicator in fertility assessments because both high and low BMI extremes can disrupt hormonal balance and ovulation.
A BMI in the normal range (18.5-24.9) is generally associated with more regular ovulation, better egg quality, and higher IVF success rates. Higher BMI (overweight/obese) can be linked to insulin resistance, PCOS, and lower response to fertility medications, while a very low BMI can suppress ovulation altogether.
Even a modest weight change (5-10% of body weight) toward the normal range has been shown to improve ovulation and fertility outcomes for many people. A fertility specialist or nutritionist can help create a personalised plan.
