[quote=Anonymous]I started trying to have a baby when I was 39 and went to SGF on a former classmate's recommendation.  First we tried 3 IUIs which failed but I was ineligible for IVF bc of my weight. I was 20lbs over their limit on a 5'10 frame.  Dr. Kimberly Moon didnt give me an explanation but said broadly re IVF "It just wont work."  I took her at her word, got a nutritionist and spent 9 months trying to lose the weight. At the recommendation of another friend I got a 2nd opinion at  another clinic that had no problem with my weight.  I responded well to meds. and had no trouble with IVF.  However during that break between ages 39 and 40 my AFC dropped from 16 to 6; my AMH and FSH levels were steady in the normal range. I deeply regret the wasted time although I know it is my cross to bear. I post this story so that other overweight women pursing IVF will not waste time and be intimidated by doctors who are likely just cherry picking patients to make their SART stats look good.
