Would love to know!

How is your BMI? Cayenne pepper on food to increase blood flow is a trick we use in HT. Pineapple core is rumored to help too

my bmi is lower than it should be, ive always struggled with being skinny but that never stopped me last time i got pg (but sadly ended in mc)

how much cayene pepper? should i drink it in warm water?

I would just eat something spicy like Mexican food or curry and not worry about specific dose. And then have some pineapple for dessert!

A low BMI can be detrimental to sustaining a pregnancy. If you've had a miscarriage, I would put on weight to try and help it from happening again.

---At the opposite extreme, if you have a very low BMI (under 19), becoming pregnant may be more difficult. BMI is a measure of your body’s available energy reserves for taking on physical and physiological challenges. You need sufficient body fat reserves to ovulate and support your pregnancy. In fact, if BMI is too low, your doctor may ask you to gain a bit of weight before conceiving, so that you build up some reserve to help you through the first trimester, which can be especially challenging if you turn out to have nausea and vomiting along with decreased appetite.*

If you are too skinny, you may not be able to stay pregnant.
