Background
I have been trying for a baby for over 4 years and have been told to have the IVF support I need I have to be under 30 BMI. I am a curvy mixed races women who goes to the gym 5 times a week and is in a calorie deficit. My body is natural heavier as I am muscly but to look at me I’m not obese. Something need to be done or discussed can’t imagine how many other women must feel robbed of motherhood
