HCG Injecton for Weight Loss to have healthy pregnancy later

[shelly_45]

I am currently 34 years old (for another 3 months at least) about 75 lbs overweight and had a miscarriage a few months ago.  Due to my weight I am at a high risk for complications during pregnancy (specifically gestational diabetes).  However due to my age I am also at a higher risk for birth defects.

I have about 10 co-workers (all over the age of 40) who are going to a weight loss clinic and doing the HCG Injections once a week along with diet, regular excercise and daily appetite suppressants and they are all doing quite well on this program.  And I do mean quite well, the weight loss has been phenominal in all of them.  

My question/concern is I'm considering taking the next year off from trying to conceive again and going through the same process at the weight loss clinic as my co-workers to try and loose about 50 pounds so I can have a healthy pregnancy when we do try to conceive again but I'm concerned about the HCG Injection causing fertility problems.  I feel as though I'm in a catch 22 because I want to loose the weight before trying to conceive again but at my age I'm concerned that my time is getting short.  I want to be healthy so I can have a healthy lifestyle and pregnancy later on but not at the risk of ruining my chances to conceive.......  There are so many mixed reviews out there on HCG injections that I just wanted to see if anyone here had any thoughts or opinions that might help me make a decision.
