Weight

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I have a friend that keeps mentioning to me that she thinks I need to gain weight to get pregnant. I'm thin and always have been but at a healthy weight and have a healthy bmi. I have no reason to think I'm not ovulating, as that seems to be the biggest problem for being underweight. This is my second cycle temping and I definitely saw a shift to indicate ovulation last month.

We've been trying 8 months so I know that I still have time, but she acts as if this would magically get me pregnant. But I haven't found anything that would make her statement valid. And I'm kinda sick of it, as she's mentioned it several times. Is there any truth to her statement that I'm overlooking or should I tell her to quit mentioning it bc she's not helping any?

Sorry for the novel but this has been bugging me for a while and I don't want to tell her to shove it and then be wrong.

    With a healthy BMI and regular ovulation, I would definitely tell her to shove it. 

    If you are concerned, you should ask your doctor, and tell your friend to shove it anyway.

    Agree with PP. A healthy BMI regular ovulation are what matter. If your Dr isn't concerned, then I would assume you're good.
    I'm sure her concern is out of love for you, but I'd kindly ask her to stop it.

    If you have a healthy BMI, and ovulating, then, no, not from what any of my doctors have said. I think some people do not understand what a healthy weight actually is. My bmi is right in the middle of what is healthy and people tell me I am too thin, need

    Thanks ladies. That is what I was assuming. I have an appt in may, just my annual, and can ask her, but she didn't mention any concerns about it when I discussed ttc with her previously.

    This friend has just been driving me crazy lately. She

    Talk to your Dr. My niece is stick thin and she had a healthy baby boy last summer. She did have two MC but who knows what they are from.

    If all checks out from Dr let her know you are all ok!!!
