Hi,
There is no reason that you should put on weight after marriage, if not already exercises, please do so. If you are planning pregnancy you can start Tab. Folvite 5mg daily one till 3 months of pregnancy.  Eat balanced diet with good amount of fibre from salads and fruits, fluids 3 L. You can undergo basic investigations like blood counts, Hb, TSH, FBS, and husband’s semen test. If you don’t naturally conceive within 1 year than go for fertility check.
Thanks

Hi -Thanks for your question. I must advice to control your weight within 19-23 BMI means within range as per your height & age. Do not consume too much fast,junk, cola, high calorie rice products like Biriyani etc, No cream based foods, rather more fiber rich all foods like whole skins vegetables, fruits, cereals, whole grains/Multi grains , good quality proteins like pulses, legumes, eggs,milk./milk products. So all together you need balanced diet by a proper calorie with quality proteins, calcium ,folate,B-Vitamins,citrus fruits for Vitamin -c ,No stress, rather normal working, All better to have from daily foods. I do not think medicines are mandated.You can test for you & your husband TSH,HB, HIV,Semen quality etc.Entire blood test better
