    I agree with Hollo... although I have read that losing 10% of your weight can sometimes increase your chances of fertility by X% - maybe this is what they're getting at? (I can't remember what that %age was though) And they have taken a completely wrong approach to explaining that to you!

    BUT, weight has nothing to do with GD, my SIL is a bigger girl (much bigger than you) and has never had any of these problems. That nurse sounds plain rude as well..

    Is there another clinic that you're able to go to?

    And don't trust that BMI thing either! I hate that thing!! My Df is 6foot3 and weights 105kg's and it reckons he's obese, but he's a bean pole and he'd have to lose a limb to lose weight.
