Hi All

How is everyone? Not been on this board for while.

However i went to another gynae appt start of October and was basically told lose 4 stone before i will get any help with Clomid (everything else ok, tubes, ovaries etc). I do ovulate sometimes, but last bloods showed low progesterone levels. The dr said once i lose weight this will correct itself. She was quite matter of fact and straight to the point and said, " i will not make another appt as this will take you a long time to lose, once you do then get re-referrred by your doctor"
At first i was so upset, i mean i have gained alot of the weight on this journey as comfort eating.

However i have now lost 10lbs, i have started walking/jogging and feel strong enough to say "You know what, i will lose this weight, i will be back seeing that Dr and it will be soon" Im gonna walk right in head held high, and say "i now have a bmi of 30 so you can treat me"

i can & will do this. I WILL GET MY BABY!

Good for you hun, don't ever give up on your dream

I was so angry and hurt when my Dr told me he wouldn't put on clomid until I'd lost weight but I went away and and gave it my all. From eating healthy and going to the gym I managed to lose the weight and I'm now just waiting to start my 2nd round of clomid.

Good luck with your journey, I hope everything work out for you.

Good for u, your attitude is right! You WILL lose weight and have your baby.

I'm just starting IUI treatment and believe I will have my baby, I believe i will be preg within 6 months. We need to have faith.

Like you I have low progesterone so I'm not sure whether I ovulate each month.

Fingers crossed u get clomid v v soon, keep that willpower because you can do it xx

Aww thanks very much. I started taking Agnus Castus this month too so hopefully that may help.

How exciting starting the IUI treatment. So what happens now with that? I hope this works for you. Please keep me posted x

Your welcome hun.

I've lost 25lbs so far. I'm glad I did it because I feel fitter and more conifident. I've still got quite a bit more to lose to get to my ideal bmi but I'm sure I'll get there eventually and so will you.

Hi Kaye yes I'm excited but a bit apprehensive as I have to inject myself. I will start when I get my period in a week and a half (that's presuming it arrives!). So we will see how it goes.... Keep you posted.

Good luck with agnus castus, I tried it for a while- remember to stop taking it when you ovuluate just in case

Well done you 10 pounds that's fantastic- I told you we'd be yummy Mummys!
I haven't done quite as well as you but i'm certainly eating better and exercising more.

I had an appt with FS this week and they've given us a 2% chance of getting pregnant each month , he's prescribed 3 months of clomid which will take our chances to 4% each month (still crap!!)

He recommended ICSI (IVF) with a 20% of it working so will have to have a think. After the first FS telling us I was too old and fat and selfish because if I got pregnant I'd die and leave the children I have motherless- WTF? This new guy wasn't bothered by my weight as long as BMI under 35 which it is. But I know, like you, that it would be better if I loose weight whatever we decide to do.
You have inspired me to continue the healthy eating and exercising!
FX we'll get slim and preggers
Good luck
