The question
Hi there,
I am wondering what your opinion is on why so many reproductive endocrinologists tell women with high BMIs that they cannot do IVF (or sometimes even IUI?) I have a BMI of about 55 but have had a general anesthetic (once) and sedation (a few times) and come out of it just fine. I am getting older (turning 38) and my partner isn't yet ready for a kid so I would love to freeze my eggs, but all four clinics in my city (in Canada) have said absolutely not. Do I have any options, or do I need to just give up?
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
I am not tat concerned about the ER. I am more concerned about technical problems in performing ET and the effect of a high BMI on pregnancy!
