hi there

I've just joined the group and we have tried two cycles of injections but no success so we going n for our ivf planning meeting next week. Here is my story and any advice would be great.

i suffered from bulimia for many years and it stopped all periods and this has been for 10 yrs now. We have been following the injection treatment which is making me produce an egg and lining which is good but very slowly and we havent been successful. Next step is ivf.

I have done lots of research on nutrition and health as i work in the industry. I have been told i need to put on half a stone even though my bmi is 19.3. for me mentally this is hard to do considering i have suffered with eating disorders. all the research i have done on weight control, nutrition and hormone control is all about losing weight, reducing toxins or the menopause. i eat a very clean diet and. Am pretty lean and it is hard to put on weight.

I want to do some reading on fertility issues from eating disorders. I basically have no FSH or LH hormone in me so therefore no estrogen or
progesterone. I want to learn more about it holistically and how i can mend my own body.Any reading or anything you suggest would be a great. I like to go into it quite in depth and understand what is happening in the body nutritionally, hormonally and cellular.

We have been trying for nearly four years now and it's really is getting hard.

thank you so so much,
laura xxxx
