Hi, I'm looking for stories of similar circumstances, just for seeing how things progressed for others.

Background is that I am 37, have been pregnant 3 times, lost all 3 (1 miscarriage, 1 fallopian ectopic, 1 ovarian ectopic), first pregnancy was age 27. Had a break after first 2 losses and started trying again at age 31. Tried for almost 2 years and then got referred for fertility investigations, got pregnant naturally during that time which was the last loss.

I needed to lose weight for IVF, which I have now just about done, about 7lb to go, I've lost 3.5 stone since March this year.

Recently got in touch with clinic and to my surprise they're bringing me in for a weight check and a general catch up as it's been a year since I had an appt with them (I thought because it had been another year they would make me get another referral, which is what they did after the last loss).

There's been a gap since the loss and now because my mental health just suffered massively. I guess I'm just looking to see how it progressed for others once they hit their target weight, I know I can't start until I'm the exact weight they require, but do they start getting anything booked in etc...

Thanks if you made it this far!

I had to loose quite abit of weight. They didn’t do anything until I was at goal weight. It moved very fast after that though.

Thank you for replying. That's good to hear, hopefully it will move fast for me too!

I hit goal late June. I had my collection and transfer in September. I could have done August but it didn’t work for me as I was starting a new job so I put it back a month to avoid being stressed. We only actually got one embryo in that process but it’s true that they say one is all you need as it was successful and we now have a very boisterous 2yr old.

Oh wow, that was very quick! Don't want to get my hopes up but that's lovely to read!
