Callie Megel, Intake Coordinator at Bright Futures Families Surrogacy , here with Ask a Surrogacy Expert. Today's question is: Can I be a surrogate with a BMI under 19? And the answer to that is no. The BMI requirements are pretty strict with fertility clinics. The low is 19. And you can see some fertility clinics going all the way up to a BMI of 32. And that's just to ensure, you know, your health, a healthy pregnancy with that. So the answer to that one is no. But please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions. Thanks.
