Always check your weight — Livestrong.com

Maintain a healthy weight

Make sure you are not underweight or overweight as this will help balance your reproductive cycle. Always check your body mass index (BMI) score. Health experts say a ranking of 19 to 24 shows that your weight is healthy. Women who are underweight or overweight have longer cycle lengths, making it very difficult for them to get pregnant. If you want to get pregnant, try and lose weight if you are overweight and gain weight if you are underweight. If you’re too thin, gaining as little as five pounds is enough to jumpstart ovulation and menstruation, TheBump.com states. If you are overweight, losing just 5 to 10 percent of your current body weight is often enough to do the same.
