Hi everyone,
Hope you are all well. My consent signing appointment is almost here (Mon) & I've got constant butterflies, I'm so nervous.
I know I can't start until next cycle, 'cos I'll be CD21 at the appt & we still need to get our virus screening done.
...I'm really worried about my weight. My BMI on the NHS calculator is 30.8, so I need to either lose 7lbs
or grow an inch to get it under 30!! I've been trying so hard, I've lost 2 stone in the last two years, but my weight has now stuck.
To give it a boost, for the last few months, I've been boxing 2 x week & either Powerplates x 1 & swimming x 1 each week, I'm not eating rubbish, barely drinking any alcohol. All our food at home is prepared from scratch & I just don't know what else to do! It's so frustrating. I met up with friends at the weekend & they ALL said I'd lost loads of weight, but on the scales, I haven't changed a jot in months!
Rrraaaahhh!
...They don't know about the IVF, & were all saying Ignore the scales, you look amazing, muscle weighs heavier than fat etc..., but the flaming NHS won't let me take into account that I'm much smaller than I was, 'cos the frigging pin on the scale still says FAT!!
I'm hoping I don't get sent away on Monday. Do you think they'll just tell me to make sure those few pounds are gone by start of DR? Or do you think I'll have to come back again to have weight checked before they give the goahead?
I hate all this uncertainty & this is just the start!
