Fertility application

[Staybo]

Hi has anyone ever been told by the GP that your BMI has to be a maximum of 30 before they can send your application off to be referred to the hospital for fertility treatment?

In my area your BMI has to be between 19-30 otherwise they can’t refer you x

If you get to the clinic and it's over 29.9 they won't do anything and tell you to come back when you're below that xxx

I was referred to a fertility consultant via the NHS with a body mass index of 39. However, I have been refused IVF treatment via the NHS due to my very low AMH and BMI. I am now going private to the Agora in Brighton and there cut off point is 35.

Yep My bmi had to be <30 to be referred. Was told that if I got weighed at the funding appointment and my bmi was over, I'd have to wait a min of 6mths to reapply! The consultant also said it was a good idea to be a few pounds under the cut off incase the scales measured slightly different to the ones used at home. I had to lose 2.5 stone but made sure I lost another 7lb for good measure!
