Hi

New here

Wanted to see if there were individuals on here who sre trying to convince but had no luck.

Ive been told i need to bring my BMI down for IVF on the NHS. Im a little chubby but wouldnt class myself as over fat. Anyway im due a weigh in in June but worried it might not go ahead due to Covid 19.

I know the world has its problems but for me this is such a huge deal. Im 34 and desperate for a baby.

welcome to the forum.

I don’t know how much you have to loose but my BMi was over 30 and to start any kind of treatment, they were strict about being under 29. It may be worth having a look at slimming world- think they are currently doing virtual classes. Wishing you the best xx

Hi love. I am also struggling with the trying to conceive "journey". Whatever to the coronavirus situation (I know it's a massive deal!), having a baby is just so much more important to me. I have the opposite problem of keeping on weight, and put so much work in to gaining lots over the past few months but that is all slipping away since I'm not really eating since getting my negative result on Friday. I am also worried when we will all get to go back to fertility appointments. I have a gynae appointment in June, but pretty sure that won't be going ahead (NHS). Hopefully the private clinics are back open by then! Wishing you the best of luck and welcome. xxx
