    About Me

    I am looking to make some friends who understand. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for 6 years I had an early misscarriage after trying to get pregnant for 2 years and since then Nothing! We were referred to an infertility clinic and have been seeing a specialist for 1yr but have not been offered any treatment what so ever due to my weight/BMI. Its so depressing and frustrating to have to keep going to appointments just to be told to loose weight. I have managed to loose three and a half stone but at a recent appointment with an IVF specialist we were refered to I was informed I must loose another three and a half stonebefore they will consider treatment.

      I know it's so frustrating, and it does seem unfair having PCOS... That's wonderful that you lost 49 pounds! That's how much I'm trying to lose too- but the weight is stubborn, ya know? There's a group on here for weight loss too- and you may find some good tips and you will definitely find LOTS of support there :-) Here's a tidbit of inspiration for you: My friend here on DS just had her first baby in February after years of trying and having PCOS just like you and I! Her name is Allie26, and you can find her on my friends list. She knows what it's like, and her story offers hope to everyone else like us. Sending you 'baby dust' in hopes of success! *hugs*
