[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to chime in and say that I have been successful with two transfers with a BMI of 25-26. I also managed to keep weight gain to a reasonable level with both pregnancies (despite what that awful PP said).  There are some studies that say that IVF is more successful if you lose weight beforehand, but they are only looking at patients with BMIs over 30. I would not waste time trying to lose weight before heading into another cycle. [/quote]
I still have ongoing health issues from that C sec. I am not awful. Sometimes the truth is not nice.

Epidemiology and Trends in Gestational Weight Gain in the United States

Deputy et al reported on GWG adequacy in a study using the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) for women who had full-term singleton deliveries from 28 states. Pre-pregnancy BMI was a self-reported value and total GWG was obtained from the birth certificate files. After weighting, the final sample size represented approximately 30% of births in the United States from 2010–2011. In their analysis, 20.9% and 47.2% of all women had inadequate or excessive GWG, respectively.16 (Figure 1) Overweight and obese class I (BMI 30–34.9 kg/m2) women had the highest prevalence of excessive GWG (64.1% and 63.5%, respectively). Although underweight women were least likely to exceed GWG goals (aOR 0.50, 95%CI 0.40–0.61), class II and III obese women had higher odds for both excessive GWG (aOR 2.31, 95%CI 1.94–2.75; aOR 2.07, 95%CI 1.63–2.62, respectively) and inadequate GWG (aOR 1.25, 95% CI 1.01–1.55; aOR 1.86, 95% CI 1.45–2.36, respectively) compared to normal weight women. Given that the prevalence of overweight and obese women aged 20–39 years is 58.5% according to NHANES data from 2011–2012 and that overweight and obese women have the highest prevalence of excessive GWG, the trends in excessive GWG are predicted to continue.17
