Does she want you to lose weight before she is willing to refer you? Maybe you should ask to speak to a different doctor at your practice?
Good luck for losing weight.

We referred ourselves to a fertlity clinic for a private consultation and they state
"for safety reasons we are unable to offer IVF to woman whose body mass index is over 35"
Why don't you try to find a nicer GP and if you're looking at going down the NHS route ask what your PCT's restrictions are?
Mrs Amanda I seem to remember you're hoping to go down the IVF/ICSI route again?
All the best
