You should not go for rapid weight reduction using medicines as that would hamper your metabolic processes and for IVF success that would be a limiting factor.
Next Steps
Rather, you can go for lifestyle modifications like consume green leafy vegetables, chia seeds soaked in water overnight , avoid junk foods, oily and spicy foods, exercise for at least 4-5 days in a week for 75 min/day. it may include brisk walking, jogging, yoga, gym strength training, any sports. Also , stress management is important, go for meditation.

With PCOS and IVF planned in 2 months, gradual weight reduction can improve metabolic health. Avoid crash diets or self-prescribed weight-loss medicines, especially around IVF.
Next Steps
Please share your height, current IVF stage and medical history. I can then guide you regarding a safe diet, exercise and whether any medication is appropriate.
Health Tips
Focus on protein-rich meals, vegetables, fibre and regular walking/exercise. Avoid starting GLP-1 medicines or other weight-loss drugs without discussing them with your fertility specialist.

With PCOS and IVF planned in the next 2 months, it is reasonable to work on weight and metabolic health, but crash dieting or aggressive weight-loss treatment should be avoided. At 88 kg, the appropriate target depends on your height, BMI, medical history and the exact IVF timeline.
A structured plan involving a moderate calorie deficit, adequate protein and fibre, reduced refined carbohydrates/sugary foods, and regular walking + resistance exercise can help with weight, insulin sensitivity and overall preconception health.
Before starting any medication or weight-loss injections, please discuss this with your fertility specialist. Anti-obesity medications are not recommended specifically to improve reproductive outcomes, and GLP-1 medicines require effective contraception while being used because pregnancy safety data are insufficient.
Since your IVF is approaching, I would suggest individual assessment of your height/BMI, menstrual and PCOS history, BP, glucose/HbA1c, lipid profile and nutritional status, followed by a personalised diet and activity plan that does not compromise your fertility treatment. Preconception optimisation of weight, nutrition, exercise and folate is specifically recommended in PCOS.
**You don't need to wait until IVF is over to start improving your health—let's make these next 8 weeks count safely and systematically.**

Rapid weight loss or starting new weight-loss medications right before an embryo transfer is not recommended, as it can disrupt hormonal balance and negatively impact implantation.
Management should prioritize safe, supervised lifestyle changes rather than aggressive pharmacological weight reduction
Next Steps
Consult the fertility specialist to evaluate the embryo transfer timeline and determine if a delay is feasible for metabolic optimization.
Consult a clinical dietitian for a structured, sustainable, low-glycemic nutrition plan tailored for PCOS.
Health Tips
Avoid unprescribed or over-the-counter weight-loss supplements, as their safety during the peri-implantation period is unestablished.

Hello mam
With PCOS and a weight of 88 kg, avoid weight-loss medicines without your fertility specialist’s approval, especially before embryo transfer. Focus on a calorie-controlled diet, adequate protein, and regular low-impact exercise. A realistic 2-month goal is gradual weight loss.
For personalized weight management and further IVF-related guidance, consult me through Practo

Before IVF, weight loss should be gradual and planned with your fertility specialist; please do not start weight-loss injections or tablets on your own. Focus on a calorie-controlled, protein-rich diet, vegetables, and regular walking/strength exercise as permitted. Rapid loss in 2 months is not a safe target for everyone, and your height, thyroid and glucose status matter.
Next Steps
Please coordinate the plan with your IVF team and book a Practo consult with me if you need individualized weight-loss guidance before transfer; I also consult at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.

Weight loss before embryo transfer is a reasonable goal, but the safe pace and any medicine for it should be decided with your fertility specialist, not chosen separately.
Next Steps
Please raise this directly with your IVF team since they'll know what fits your transfer timeline and won't interfere with your treatment.
Health Tips
Please don't start a weight loss medicine on your own during an active IVF cycle.
