Hello everyone, here's a little bit about me.
Me & my husband have been trying for a baby for almost 10 years, during this time we have conceived naturally twice but both pregnancys have been ectopic, so sadly I am now solely relying on Ivf treatment to give us our much wanted miracle, I'm currently weighing in at 13 stone 9lb & as I'm only 5ft 3' I have to get my weight down to at least 12 stone to begin my treatment. (it's all about the bmi & according to that I'm medically classed as obese, although I don't look it!)
we are scheduled to begin our ivf treatment on September 5th 2012 (providing I have lost a sufficient amount of weight) meaning I have to lose a minimum of 1st 9lb, even if im a lb over I will be released from my consultants care at the fertility centre (so sad that all these strict guidelines are in place when I have no other option of having a baby) but hey rules are rules & no amount of complaining in the world will change how the nhs operate, so losing the weight is the only way I can have my treatment.
Both times that I have conceived naturally during our time trying has only happened when I've lost weight beforehand! So this is definitely spurring me on! & the proof is in the pudding that getting rid of excess lb's can really help your fertility!
I'm following calorie counting on MY FITNESS PAL app on my iPhone which since the 7th march I have lost 8.5lb on, I could've lost a considerable amount more but I've been taking the relaxed approach towards it, I've now stepped it up a gear & joined the gym & being a lot stricter with what I eat.
My goal is to weigh 10 stone 7lb by my Ivf appointment in September. So lots of hard work to come but I know it will all be so worth it in the end.
Thought I'd start this diary to keep me motivated & I hope you all enjoy sharing it with me x
