interesting info on BMI and fertility

[sparkle83]

I was reading prenancy and birth today, and there was an article on fertility tha reckons for every BMI pont above 29 you are, you lose 4% fertility. So at 34-35, you'd be looking at 20-24% lower fertility.

Scarier to see it in numbers!

Oooh, that's quite interesting. I'd better get on the treadmill lol

that is interesting hun, so i think i should be about 10% more fertile than i was in November, yipee we need to start quoting that with our weightloss.

Hi Sparkle83 - just wondering - does the article explain why? Cheers hx

Does it say anything about if your BMI is lower than 22?

This is both interesting and depressing. My BMI is so high, gonna take me years to get it down to a 'fertile' number. Well i'm starting Rosemary Conley on Monday so hopefully that will help. x
