marianna,
I am overweight, BMI is 31 but I don't have asthma. I have taken all the meds for IVF and didn't have a problem. I guess this would be a question for your RE. I am sure if the RE thought it would be a big problem then they probably wouldn't have recommended you for IVF. That is just my 2 cents.

hi marianne, I don't share the same problems, so I can't share any experiences that would be helpful to you. But I can tell you that I would be really surprised if asthma would have any effect on your IVF course. Are their drug interactions you are concerned about? From a lung standpoint, it shouldn't matter at all.
What did your doc say about how your weight could effect IVF? I know their are many women around here who struggle with weight, so I'm sure you'll get lots of support. Weight is such a tough issue and so emotional. IVF is such an emotional rollercoaster it doesn't help.
I wish you all the best on your journey.

Hi Marianna,
I'm a man so I can't offer advice, but I can offer support. Work with your doctor and medical team to make sure you're doing well every step of the way. Also, ask a lot of questions of the group here. They're great.
Oh, my wife is pregnant and Marianna is on the short list of names if it's a girl. I think it's beautiful. Ever heard of Marianna Hill?

I am not overweight but I have asthma, my Doc put me on pulmicort and albuterol as needed said that those wouldn't hurt the pregnancy. Pregnancy makes asthma better in 30% of people and worse in 30%, same on the rest so talk to your doctor and get you on a good preventive before you get pregnant. I actually lost weight on IVF meds so you should be ok.
Baby dust and good luck!
