[QUOTE="ClaireBField, post: 1460772, member: 400916"] Okay, so I am 36 - 37 in October. I have type 2 diabetes and Transverse Myelitis/MS. When I got sick I put on a LOT of weight and now I have a dilemma. Do I go for weight loss surgery now and then in 1-2 years try IVF? Or do I push for IVF now? The thing is, when I turn 37/38 the chances of conceiving via IVF drop drastically from about 50% to 25%. However, my chances go UP if I lose all the weight I will lose via surgery. So are the odds better being overweight and doing IVF at 36 or being the right weight and doing IVF at 39? I am doing weight loss either way, it's just a question of when. Oh, and my pipes and uterus are fine, my ovaries are being tested now. I can carry, not sure how viable my eggs are. They might be fine, I can probably conceive naturally but I need a bit of help because of my weight/diabetes/neurological disorder. [/QUOTE]
