I wanna rant!

Ok so I'm going through the egg donation process and also having treatment myself. I've passed all the test and paid a fortune up front, only to get stuck at the last hurdle. My BMI has to be under 30 before I'm even offered to the recipient and I'm stuck on 32.1. .My weight fluctuates by 5lbs on a weekly basis. I run 6 to 15k a week and eat healthily. I've lost nearly 30kilos over the last 2 years but apparently that's still not good enough. I'm built like a rugby/ american football player.
I've found out today that an acquaintance is 20w pregnant. Her BMI is 48 we're the same height 1.6m. I just feel like I'm being penalized for trying to help and some people just have to open their legs.

I know I'm being whiny but its not fair!

The fertility center has offered no help on the diet/ exercise front just keep telling me to "Keep it up. You'll get there".
I just wanna cry. I'm fed up, stressed out and pissed off.

I'm sorry. Sending you a virtual hug. One of my colleagues did one of those liquid diets out of desperation for very similar reasons and managed to reduce her bmi to 26 in 3 months. I saw what she went through so can imagine how upset you are. I hope you get what you need soon.
