Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

She is having BMI of only around 19.5, moreover She was once anemic also with some gastric problem. So I will like to advise that She requires evaluation for this all first before planning pregnancy. She should consult a Gastroenterologist who may advise stool examination especially for fat loss or any reducing sugars or worms, any wheat allergy, blood tests like complete hemogram, blood sugars etc and may be endoscopic examination, I mean to say tests for any malabsorption leading to weight loss.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
