I Have To Lose Another 30 Pounds To get IVF ? And the struggles continue... Just when you think Infertility was going to be my biggest obstacle, now I have to Lose weight too !
To give you a bit of an update I talked to my Doctor over the phone because I wanted to get information on using IVF just in case the IUI didn't work this cycle. And then Boom ! she tells me the shocking news that I cant get IVF without a BMI of at least 40 or below. If my BMI is over 40 then the Anesthesiologist will not approve me .
Since IVF involves a needle our going in your vagina you have to be put under medication to block the pain. So now I have another decision to make (because I always Like to think ahead) In case the IUI did not work on my first cycle, I might take a month or so off to try and lose more weight in order to skip to IVF. The reason I'm thinking this is because I have noticed the success rate for IUI is pretty low and from what some women are saying ... It took them 4, 6, 8 months using IUI to get Pregnant. Personally I cant afford that and my insurance will only cover 2 more of either IUI or IVF, then that's it I pay out of pocket.
So (fingers Crossed) I wont have to go through this because I will be pregnant and me and my boyfriend will start preparing for the baby. However if it does fail then I will focus on losing weight and getting down my BMI. Do Any one know of any Good Diets out there that help to lose weight fast ? Because My natural way of doing things may not work for the amount of time I'm working with.
