I'm posting on behalf of a friend I desperately wish I could help. She has PCOS and isn't ovulating in any pattern if at all. She has been referred for treatment after two years of ttc. The problem is they wont help because of her BMI. She has an okay diet, not perfect, and has managed to lose just over a stone but seems to be sticking there.
I know it might be easy to say she has to do it but she also has an underactive thyroid and depression she had to stop taking the medication for in order to conceive. If she can't hit the BMI target is that it? Do her doctors have the right to say they will not consider helping at all?
It just seems so sad that her right to be a parent will decided solely on weight, partly the result of complex medical problems.
