After trying to conceive for over a year with no luck I've just found out that I've got polycystic ovary syndrome and I've been referred to a fertility clinic.
I know that there are strict guidelines for a healthy BMI in order to get IVF. My problem is I will never EVER be able to achieve this. I've got a condition called lipoedema which is a painfull fatty condition in legs/hips/bum and no matter how much diet and I do I cannot loose weight from these areas.
There's nothing on my upper half but these areas make my BMI 49.
I'm hoping they take.this into onsideration and help me out, I'm so nervous for the appointment in case they dismiss me over something I have no control over.
Has anybody ever been given any leeway on BMI because of a condition?
