The 32-year-old says she had to change her lifestyle so she could qualify for NHS fertility treatment

A woman who had to lose weight to qualify for IVF treatment is celebrating becoming pregnant.

The 32-year-old was told her body mass index was too high for her to get an NHS-funded IVF cycle in Derby.Ms Cheetham, from Littleover in Derby, said she was able to bring her BMI down below the threshold to make her eligible for IVF in the city. "They gave me a three-month deadline to lower my BMI to below 30. To be honest it was the most stressful part of the process."

She said: "When I went back to the clinic in July, I'd achieved my goal - my BMI was 29 and the IVF cycle was approved to continue."She said: "I was so shocked at the positive line that I bought more."When I had the push back of not going further with our fertility treatment, it felt a huge hill to climb.
