No IVF for overweight women

I think everyone deserves IVF, not just women who live healthily and eat lots of fruit! Imagine that!!
I do believe, however, that we can support women undergoing IVF—think of supporting women with overweight, smoking, and other unhealthy habits.

Quitting unhealthy habits was the first thing I did before taking the step to try for kids. Of course, for many, reduced fertility isn't immediately due to being overweight. I myself have a bit of extra weight too, but I did follow all the advice. I thought then I can't blame myself, or only when you've been trying for a long time with maybe a lot of disappointment that you might have been able to prevent (you also don't know beforehand how fertile you both are), but there are also many people who have to undergo IVF for completely different reasons (which you yourself can't influence). It's so dependent on everyone's personal situation.

I don't think it's normal to act as if fat people aren't allowed to have children. It's like fat people don't have feelings; they're people too. And I don't believe it's all about being overweight.

I've never had a period since I was young, and now they're blaming me for being fat. But back when I was skinny, I didn't have a period either.

I think the system here is so stupid. Someone who smokes is allowed to do whatever they want, but you won't even talk to me about it.

I believe everyone has the right to become a mother.

Personally, I find it a bit short-sighted..... I didn't smoke before/during my pregnancy and I wasn't overweight. But getting pregnant naturally with my husband was almost impossible. And whether I'm fat or thin, I can't change the quality of my husband's sperm. Of course, it's better to be at a healthy weight and not just to get pregnant. Your body works better when you're at a healthy weight. But IVF/ICSI is mostly done due to sperm quality; otherwise, they'd start with IUI, for example. They don't just do IVF and ICSI for no reason.... And about indirectly paying for it... I could go on for a while. We pay for a lot of things we'll never use ourselves, but that's how a social system works. I really hope couples with a desire for children can get help from all sides, regardless of the woman's weight, but maybe you only understand that if you've had to go through a treatment yourself. I'm grateful that we live in a country where you can fulfill your wishes. Without ICSI, I wouldn't have become a mother.
