NHS IVF London South East & BMI

Hi all- I have managed to get through the wait for NHS IVF but have struggled with my weight. I’m 29.80 BMI. I know the rules for London South East say you’re bounced back to the start of the process if your BMI is over 30. Anyone have experience with being on the BMI edge? I’ve worked really hard with my weight and this wait. My weigh in is Friday at 2pm- a great time to weigh women 🙄looking for any past experience with Kings and border BMI x thank you!

I'm NHS and they are very strict with BMI's, my first weighing I'm sure my BMI was something like 30.4 which was over but they passed me thankfully. They then weighted me on every collection/transfer which was sometimes more stressful than the actual treatment.

Congrats on the weight loss and you will be fine with your BMI, good luck on your journey :)
