Weight, IVF and refusal of treatment

[Curly]

ps. I dont eat candy, I dont eat chocolate (yuk), I have cut out sugar I use sweetner, I dont eat bread, I dont eat pasta, I have cut down my portion sizes drastically in the last 6 months and hello only 1kg of weight lost in 6months.

This seems to be turning into a weightloss thread!

You must be so frustrated, 6 months of effort and only 1kg to show for it. Two things come to mind...

1. Have you had your thyroid checked?

2. Are you eating a high protein diet? They don't work for everybody. I actually lost my weight by cutting back meat to once a day only (so a tuna sandwich at lunch meant a meat free dinner) and eating plenty of pasta, rice and vegetables.

I'm sorry if this isn't the kind of thing you want to hear...I really am trying to help if you are left with no option but to try and lose weight before they agree to treat you.

And I still think you should get a second opinion at a different fertility specialist. I'm a big believer in feeling comfortable with your caregivers.
