I’m debating going ahead for transfer April or May
I was thinking to delay and loose another stone

how much difference have you seen with outcomes at a lower weight ? So unsure if I should delay or just go for it

thanks in advance 😍

My BMI has been 34.9 with my last 2 FETs. DD is 3 and I'm pregnant now.

I can't share personal experiences, but a friend of mine who was overweight planned to undergo IVF in Poland. The doctor started her treatment only after she lost some weight

I also asked this question and I had a pretty good answer if you want to go and read it. My post was heavier mummas doing ivf.

My worry was whether my stims would work or not but I ended up emailing my clinic and they said I'm fine, their worry is more around morbid obesity where stims can have huge effects on the already strained body and egg retrieval would be risky and those types of things but a little excess weight won't be an issue and our clinic has just increased their minimal bmi allowances for treatment and I personally am well under their minimal.
