I feel like im giving up any help appreciated

[alison011177]

Been ttc for 2 years with pcos, a blocked tube and dh slightly reduced sperm motility. Had 9 months clomid, been on metofrmin for 18 months never had a bfp.

Referred for ivf but my bmi was 37 and they wouldnt accept me until bmi below 30 which I understand. I have managed to loose 19lb and get my bmi down to 34 since jan. Howver I have stayed the same over the last 3 months, I go to the gym and I have done slimming world and rosemary conley. Im in a viscious circle now as I am comfort eating again and slowly getting out of the habit of the gym.

I know I canT have IVF until I have lost the weight, I have got to succeed but its just not happening. I feel so exausted and drained today any help or advice would be appreciated.

I'm in the same position honey and doing SW. Did you stop going to your group?

I reduced my BMI from 38 ish to just under 35 (I think, but my ticker is more accurate) in 5 weeks through Slimming World. Everytime I want to eat rubbish I ask myself if I want the food or a baby more. As the answer is always a baby it's generally working for me but I know what a struggle it can be.

Have you got any friends that might be interested in going to a group with you?

Happy to be your virtual SW (or indeed any slimming group) buddy if you feel like you need some support from someone going through the same thing?

Also meant to say that we've been ttc for nearly 2 years. I have pcos. DH has slightly reduced motility and we've ben put on the list for IUI which I have to get my BMI to below 30 for, so with the exception of the Clomid we're pretty much in exactly the same boat!!!!

You can do it!!!!!

Here's something I did last time I was trying to lose weight... go to a fabric shop and buy a length of that black thong stuff, and enough coloured beads to have one for each lb you lose. Wear the thong as a bracelet (or necklace if you prefer). Every time you lose a lb, add a bead. Then when you think about being bad with food, rubs the beads in your hand and think about the hard work you've put in so far, and how good it'll feel to add another accomplihement and put an extra bead on.
