I gained weight due to 4 rounds of IVF in 12 months - going into lockdown I lost 1/2 a stone and got my bmi back to closer 26 and I’m now pregnant with twins from my final transfer - who know if it made a difference? But there has been a lot of medical studies which has shown higher bmi equals less successful treatment (Hence why the NHS has a bmi cut off) so I would try and get your bmi down as much as you can
