Answer to Question 1

The husband's body mass index indicates that he is overweight. His excess body fat may be affecting his fertility. Thus, he may be advised to eat a healthier diet, following nutritional guidelines, and exercise because loss of body fat is related to improvements in hormone levels, oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, and conception rates. The woman's irregular menses after losing 10 pounds suggests that her weight loss negatively affected her fertility. Particularly, if she was originally of normal weight and lost 10 to 15 of her body weight through her diet, such weight loss has been linked to decreased estrogen, LH, and FSH concentrations. Her irregular menses, termed amenorrhea, may return to normal if her weight is restored to within 95 of her previous weight. Through regaining weight, her hormone levels may be returned to normal and her fertility improved.
