This fertility group is for those who are trying to lose weight to progress with their fertility treatment pathway. To be allowed to join this group you must currently have a BMI of 30 or over and have been advised to lose weight for fertility treatment.
Have you been told by a clinician to reduce your BMI? Are you feeling a bit lost and under pressure? You are not alone; and this is a great fertility group for you to join to speak to others who really understand. If you feel like you have a mountain to climb, then peer support can really help. No judgment, no pressure. Just motivation and support.
To join our WhatsApp group just pop us an email with a brief description of your fertility journey, to ensure you meet the group criteria, and we will provide you with the joining link: weightlossgroup@fertilitynetworkuk.org

Historically, we have regularly welcomed Nutritional Therapists, Dietitians and Nutritionists to our meetings, to discuss requested topics around diet and lifestyle. This group has helped many people to reach their goals for improved access to fertility treatment and overall wellbeing.
If you are with a partner, we welcome them too. Support of those around you is so important when trying to lose weight.
Be sure to keep an eye on our wellbeing pages and event listings for upcoming nutritional programmes that may also benefit you in your journey.
