Hi All,
I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I am 31 y/o old with PCOS and am overweight (BMI 37) my husband is 31 and has low morphology. We have been TTC for 5 years and have made the decision to do IVF. We start with my next cycle. I am worried about it working due to my BMI. Any success stories would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. Welcome to the board! Sorry you have to go down this road. **success mentioned** I am overweight with a BMI of 32. I have slowly gone up over the years, but I am currently pregnant with my last child through a frozen embryo transfer from my fresh cycle that we did 7 years ago. This will be my 6th baby all through IVF/FET. **end mention** It's definitely possible to have success even overweight. Many women do. I hope your cycle is a great success too!!

Hello! And welcome! **success mentioned** I was overweight when I did my third IVF and that was the only cycle I got pregnant on! My son is now seven months old. **end mention** I'm sure it was a tough decision to go with IVF but with PCOS and TTC for five years, I think it makes sense. If there's anything I can do to help or support, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm also in Brooklyn by the way (Park Slope). Do you mind if I ask where you're cycling? GOOD LUCK!!

Hi Ladies,
Thank you for your responses and CONGRATS to both of you on your BFP's. Jay, I am with Dr. Seifer at Genesis Fertility. I go to their office in Dyker Heights.

Ah, Genesis! That's a great clinic. Brooklyn has several clinics but frankly, since it's the biggest borough in Manhattan, I'm shocked it doesn't have more! I'm wishing you lots of luck on this next cycle!!!!

mruf81 - How are you? Did you start your cycle yet? Do you need a cheerleader?

Hi Jay..........Sorry that I have been MIA, I was sick with the flu. I am on BCP and will start my Lupron injections on the 19th. I could always use a cheerleader
