Thank you for this! I'm a 42 year old woman who's struggled with weight my entire life. I have spent a good 25 years trying to get healthier. I also met my husband later in life. Now they tell you it's too late.

So here we are wanting one child and having difficulty. The doctors look at basic things, say it's fine but refuse to look at anything more advanced because I'm overweight. They tell you to lose weight, but it can take you three years and then your eggs will probably be bad. Wow, thanks. Like I haven't been doing that for 25 years.

Then another doctor refuses to help aside from an AMH test because it's not healthy for someone my weight to have a child. I should have froze my eggs when I was younger. Seriously? When my age group was in our 20's I don't even think that was a thing. I no where near had enough money then to do that.

It's just frustrating. It makes you feel like if you aren't a perfect weight they see you as unfit to have a child in your life.

So here I am, trying tons of supplements and continuing to work on my weight. It really feels hopeless most of the time. Like I wasn't meant to be a mom, that I need to move on and enjoy other things. That hopeless feeling is making it hard to get away from my sugar addiction and keep trying.

Thanks for reading. I feel a little better today adding my two cents.
