NHS treatment and being slightly underweight

[Pusskins]

Has anyone had NHS funding for medication and been slightly underweight (7lb)?

Really need comments

I'm underweight by about 2 stone (BMI just below 16) and had clomid on the NHS and had a referral for IUI, would have had it if I'd wanted to go ahead. Do you have any specific queries that I may be able to help with?

Thanks for your reply.
Would you have to have funding for your iui?
Would you of got injections being underweight if clomid didn't work?

I don't think I did have to have funding for IUI, the FS completed the referral and all was fine. I suspect I would have had issues if I'd been referred for IVF. Clomid worked for me so I don't know what they would have done if it hadn't of worked. However my LH and FSH levels are normal so there was no reason to believe it wouldn't have worked.

Hope that helps
