IVF Question

[rachelle1975]

Guys

as you know i'm seeing the FS consultant next month. When we saw the FS nurse got told i had to lose weight which is all good - but do you think the consultant will delay putting me on the waiting list until i've lost the weight - or will they just carry on and if i've not lost the weight, i miss out on my turn?

Just having a worried obsessive moment ta x

I can't say for sure, but since you'll be waiting for a good few months, i'd think they'd put you on the list but when your time comes if you haven't lost weight (which you will have!) they might then make you wait longer.

I think if you can show them by your appointment that you have lost weight that they will see that you're making an effort, and you can then tell them your plans to lose weight before you start cycling.

I second FJL - they'll have a record of your weight at your previous appointment, and provided you can show that you've lost weight in the meantime, they may well put you straight onto the list without making you wait any longer. They've probably asked you to lose weight as the stimulating drugs tend to like fat and the more fat you're carrying the less successful the drugs are likely to be in stimulating your ovaries... Something like that anyway...

Hi

I am pretty sure you will be put on the waititng list and will be asked to loose the weight in the meantime. You will have a few months to get into your target BMI range - so good luck with that. Have you got a diet plan sorted?

thanks guys and you are right - i will be well sorted!

I was wondering exactly the same thing. I hope they will take into acount the weight I have already lost and am continuing to loose.
