BMI Calculator
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a way of calculating whether you have a healthy weight for your height. Simply Enter your height and weight details into our calculator to know if you’re a healthy weight for your height. The result gives an indication of whether you’re a healthy weight, and if not, how over- or underweight you are.
Please note that BMI isn’t always perfect because there are other things that you might need to take into account when it comes to weight. This notwithstanding, BMI Is a useful guide.

What Do Your BMI Results Mean?
Your BMI result places you into one of four general categories. It’s important to remember this is just one piece of the puzzle, as factors like muscle mass and body frame aren’t accounted for.
- Underweight (BMI below 18.5): For women, being underweight can lead to irregular menstrual cycles or ovulatory dysfunction. For men, it can also impact sperm quality, making conception more difficult.
- Healthy Weight (BMI 18.5 – 24.9): This range is generally associated with regular ovulation and is considered optimal for conception and a healthy pregnancy.
- Overweight (BMI 25.0 – 29.9): For women, carrying extra weight can impact hormone levels and affect ovulation. For men, this range can begin to reduce testosterone levels and impact sperm quality.
- Obese (BMI 30.0 and above): For women, this range is strongly linked to hormonal imbalances, ovulatory infertility, and conditions like PCOS. For men, it is associated with lower testosterone, reduced sperm count, and decreased motility.
How Does Weight Affect Fertility in Men and Women?
Fertility is a team effort, and BMI can impact both partners.
- For Women: Body fat (adipose tissue) is an active endocrine organ that produces estrogen. Too little body fat can shut down ovulation, while excess body fat can lead to an overproduction of estrogen, disrupting the delicate hormonal balance required for a regular menstrual cycle and a healthy pregnancy.
For Men: Studies have shown that being overweight or obese can affect male fertility by reducing testosterone levels and impacting sperm quality, count, and motility.
