Milestones

Review the NHS using BMI as a way to determine eligibility for fertility treatment. We think BMI is outdated and isn’t accurate.

I have had a personal struggle with fertility whilst fighting diabetes, Crohn’s disease and a stoma. I've been told I am not the weight they want for treatment.
