Hey AQ - its actually my next nhs appointment when they will be referring me (all the funding etc has been agreed) my consultant put it all through in November because i was so close, so she said if i hit it by 14th Feb i can start treatment for my next cycle - so heres hoping shes not lying lol! (apparently no waiting list in my area - South east kent) Also, we have had all the 'final' tests in advance, i dont know if that makes a difference....
They have funded me two rounds on the nhs, and need to get me started before the end of the financial year - which is why i will literally be eating nothing as soon as my period starts! (due 24th jan)
Ideally i should have hit 29.9 before my period but my next cycle after will be due around 25th feb - so heres hoping they get their bums in action at the right time!
It has taken me a year to get here though - my bmi started at 35 so have lost about 2.5 stone so far - the annoying thing is im 'only' a size 14 and was a 16 before - i personally wouldnt consider that 'obese' - overweight sure, but not obese, ive always been super fit and im 6 foot tall - so look in proportion etc. but hey ho - apparently if you're fat you dont make a good parent according to nhs lol! (i know its success rates based etc but still!)
Also, while im having a little rant - this conversation came up at work the other day and of the 14 people on my team only the girl who is a size 6 is not classed as overweight/obese - everyone else was bmi 28-34 - including a very petite size 12!!! Which just goes to show that bmi is extremely unreliable - but we do what we must in an effort to save thousands i suppose!!
