Skinny mamas- - Page 2

From what I understand being naturally thin poses absolutely no problem to fertility. But, being un-naturally thin does affect fertility. If you are 99 pounds because thats the way god made you than theres no problem. If you are 99 pounds because you have an eating disorder than you will more likely have problems.

But what if you are 99 pounds and eating healthy now, but had disordered eating for most of your life?

That's what worries me.. how much of my extreme thinness is due to inadequate nutrition as a child and teenager? And have I permanently affected my fertility.

However, I've met a lot of women with eating disorders, and it seems like most of them became the shape they were supposed to be very quickly, when they started eating a normal amount of food. So maybe I am 'naturally' skinny.
