I can't give you much info about knowing someone with all the same things as you (pcos, weight issues etc) but I can tell you a positive story about a 40 year old woman who went through ivf.
A friend who met her partner late in life made the decision at 40 years old to keep trying IVF until it worked, and in the end had to do 7 cycles to become pregnant. Obviously the journey she went on was incredibly emotional and heart breaking every time a negative result was given to her and her husband, but she was determined to keep trying until it worked. To cut a long story short, she now has an extremely gorgeous baby boy and has never been happier in her life.
We all wish for our 1st ivf to be 'the one that works' and there's no reason why yours shouldnt (yes miracles do happen and occassionally it does work the first time). But I really want to give you hope if it unfortuanately it doesnt. I personally tried Ivf for the first time last year and when the result was negative, my mind and body basically shut down. I didnt think I could do it again because the pain was so bad that at times i didnt even leave the house. When I finally picked up the courage to try again for the second time, it worked and I am still in a state of shock. It proves that sometimes just a change in protocol is all it takes. Please don't give up if it doesnt work the first time because as hard as it is to go through, the pleasure of finally getting a bfp makes it all worthwhile. (Plus your FS wouldnt even suggest you go through this if he/she didnt think you had a chance of it working!)
