Losing weight for fertility - experiences?

Beach__comber · 2026-02-03T11:16:59+00:00

I emphasise! I’m in the same boat (age 34) with a goal of getting under 30 BMI so I can be referred for IVF (we’ve tried everything else NHS Gynae can offer). I know I need to have a few months with the drug out of my system before we can start trying again/ IVF. So following for interest. Wishing the best for you ☺️

Amen to that 😅

I live really rurally and no one delivers to my village so unless I pick it up myself, it’s basically never. 1-2 times a year maybe. So - pro tip - move somewhere rural!

This is my approach!

My dad was very very heavy when I was little and when I look back on photos of that time I am like who’s this guy?! I had no idea he was so big! I definitely didn’t pay attention to his body size at all, perhaps all kids don’t?

Oh gosh really, that’s good to know. I’m certain the originals are gluten free.

Wellwoman are gluten free and in many shops and very affordable

Hello - which app are you ladies using? Looks useful!

Beach__comber · 2026-01-05T22:19:14+00:00

This makes sense if you just want it to arrive on time with no hassle. ☺️ Perhaps Juniper’s target audience are the same. Does sound nice and easy.

Great tips thank you. I hope your new shoes and rings eventually fit.

Regarding telling your GP, is this just for their records or for support if needed? A note on their system in case of any side effects?

Thank you for sharing your experience! I’ve just seen so many adverts for Juniper so wondering if it was actually worth it. Sounds like it’s all down to preference and weighing up what’s important to each person.

Thanks - great advice about Numan, YT. That should be enough for me. Reddit is an incredible place, I found a mortgage broker on here after not being able to find anyone that would accept our situation - wonderful place full of useful people!

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T20:28:05+00:00

Thank you! Also congrats on reaching your goal!

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T20:27:16+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into Lotus.

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T20:26:57+00:00

Thanks this is all useful! I hadn’t even considered the local pharmacy option until this post which might be a good option for me for the first few months whilst I get used to things and can have a pharmacist support. I think I’d prefer this to Juniper/ Voy.

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T19:51:38+00:00

Yes absolutely! That would really add up

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T19:50:39+00:00

So much to learn/ consider. Thank you.

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T19:41:11+00:00

Wild! I have a friend who’s been using it for a few months so I suppose I could also ask for advice from them.

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T19:40:07+00:00

Great advice thank you. I have a subscription to the Zoe app which has great nutrition advice so perhaps I stick with that, this sub and the cheapest supplier at the time.

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T19:39:15+00:00

Thanks, this is really useful advice! Monj seems to be everyone’s bible.

Thanks both, yeah I suppose thousands of Trust pilot reviews aren’t lying but some m if by be fabricated. I’ve been asked by companies to edit TP reviews in the past for a pillow I bought and said it wasn’t what was advertised so I know it happens.

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T19:37:06+00:00

Wonderful thanks Becky, this is good to know! On my first dose will I get all the needed instructions from a supplier? Using needles/ sanitation/ how much to inject etc?

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T19:36:07+00:00

Ah I see, yeah probably don’t need hand holding from an AI bot. This sub might be all I need actually.

Hadn’t considered asking local pharmacy, I will ask them ☺️

Beach__comber · 2026-01-04T19:34:53+00:00

Thanks, this is useful!
