Hi Ladies,

My name is Natalie and I am 30 and married. My husband was diagnosed last year with testicular cancer and had them removed. We have frozen tissue and Only have a few shots at this. My weight is 78.5kg and I'm 5ft 2in, which puts me at obese, doctor says they need me to lose 10kg overall to do treatment, however, at the moment all they want me to lose is 5kg so I can maybe do I egg retrieval and freeze my eggs. I usually start well the first couple of weeks, but then I get demotivated when I see no results. Looking for a buddy or two or more to keep me motivated. I have an under active thyroid which doesn't help and at the moment suffering terrible insomnia. Looking forward to meeting some new people and supporting each other.

    Welcome!
    Being able to have a shot at that baby should be the Best motivation! If you want something bad enough, you WILL do it versus just 'wanting to'. You watched your husband Beat Cancer! YOU Can Do this!!!
    Two IVF babies myself. Its not an easy process, but worth it.
    Step One towards being a mom!
