Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening tool used to assess whether an individual’s weight falls within a healthy range for their height. While it is commonly used to identify potential health risks such as Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, weight outside the healthy range can also significantly impact fertility.

Both being underweight and overweight may interfere with reproductive hormones and ovulation patterns. For those undergoing fertility treatments, excessive weight can potentially lower success rates and increase risks during treatment cycles and pregnancy.

Achieving an optimal weight before conception helps create the best conditions for fertility treatment and supports healthier pregnancy outcomes. The standard weight status categories associated with BMI ranges for adults are shown in the following table:

BMI	Weight Status
Below 18.5	Underweight
18.5 – 24.9	Normal
25.0 – 29.9	Overweight
30.0 and Above	Obese
