hi. im attending monklands infertility clinic at the moment, was at my first nurse lead clinic 4 weeks ago.
had ultrasound scan which showed pcos. also had blood taken.
my partners handing in semen samples next week, and i will have to phone clinic for next appointment with dr jain.
how long have you been attening clinic.
and what have you waiting times been like for appointments?

 

[lynne192]

hi there hun we have been under dr janes care since june last year she is a bitch from hell we utterly hate her. she's nasty and shit, sorry but she is. we really don't like nor trust her, she only gave me clomid after i basically begged for it, was in tears she also should have done a hsg after my ectopic but she was cut happy and wanted to open me up to check istead, waiting to get my lap and dye with her at wishaw (she a wishaw doctor) before we will be offered anything else. i was meant to be a pacient of Dr coniway but got moved to her at the last moment completely gutted. as he is really nice and apprently has a brilliant track record.

i wanted to see if anyone else had been there, we done the scans and sperm tests last year, my OH's sperm was really good and she said he would fertilise the whole world before he would get me pregnant. how lovely. anways the nurses were dead nice.

hey lynne,
thanx for your quick reply.
thats a shame you havent had much luck with the doc!
Why would she not start you on clomid without you begging for it?
can you remember how long it took for you to get an appointment after all the tests were done?
Im soooo impatient!

 

[lynne192]

from our first appoitment at the clinic it took us 3months before we got to see her her waiting list is 8weeks.

 

[MARY1]

thanks lynne,

hope you get on ok at wishaw, im sure theyll be other people on here thats had it done that you can talk to.

good luck.x

 

[lynne192]

sadly its "her" thats coming the morning of my op to talk to me, but i think i am going to cancel it this month as need teeth out next monday and also moving house the day after my op so think best to cancel plus can't get lap and dye on ur period and i'll be on mine, dr jane still expects me to go to the op appointment even if i don't get the op that day, getting to wishaw isn't easy for us

 

[MARY1]

think you would be better changing it.

i live near wishaw hospital and the parking is a nightmare.

maybe moving house will take your mind of things for a while.

ive not been having regular periods, lucky if i get 1 every 6 months. so hoping theyll put me on clomid.

 

[lynne192]

i'm like that hun i can go years without a period. clomid helped but sadly it caused our ectopic pregnancy. since my ectopic though i have been getting some what regular periods.

 

[MARY1]

thats a good sign.
keep my fingers crossed that this will be your month.x

 

[lynne192]

thanks hoping for a world cup baby

hi just saw ur post, weve been seeing dr jain since jan 2010 and we still have not been referred for treatment, shes is terrible! my last appt was for lap&dye @ wishaw in aug and she has still not given me results yet my next apt is in feb 2011 ive been waiting since aug!! its really frustrating that appts take so long and i can only hope when we speak to her in feb that she referrs us for treatment, r u still attending her clinic? xox

 

[lynne192]

yeah we are but now been put on the long waiting list for IUI and then thats us, she can be alright when she wants to be but think she can also be a nightmare she was veru rude to us because she thought i was just being young and didn't want to wait after 3years 5months and a Lap and Dye which was the most horrible thing in my life and she done it leaving two masive scares she now knows we have alot of fertility problems.... anyways not likley to see her again until we are actually issued IUI which is likely to be maybe MAY-June time and had my Lap and Dye in june, i am surprised you have not got your results sooner, i was told i should have had a 6 week pre-op but never seen her until about 10-12weeks after my op which i was not happy about but her appointment waiting time is 8 weeks.... have you been on clomid rounds with her yet? do you know what your infertility is ?

I am attending Monklands and whilst I've only been for the nurse led app have been pleased so far.

The problem so far seems to be with my OH and they've been really keen to do every test/scan under the sun to see if their is an underlying problem.

Thankfully it is Dr Deshpande (sp) we will be under. Dunno what he's likes but don't like the sound of Dr Jane

Only took a few weeks for our 1st app after getting referred and then scan was within days of our 1st app (mind you had to get re-scheduled due to weather related apps).

Just waiting on OH doing another SA in Feb then Dr Deshpande will hopefully refer us for ICSI which will be at GRI.

 

[lynne192]

never heard of that doctor in monklands infertility clinic is it a new doctor? dr jain is the main doctor in the clinic she is based in wishaw though where she does all her Lap and Dyes.

the nurse led appointments are great we had them too and they were so what quick we had one a month from june - september and then we meet jain for our dignosis and treament which was 6months of clomid but i had a beg for it because she though i was just being young and wanted to hurry things along my last dose of clomid 150mg finally got but due to medical confusion my pregnancy was terminated because of suspected Ectopic but since then we have learned that wasn't possible because i don't have a left tube which they said it was in! so thats been really hard horrible battle. we have been TTC since with no luck had a lap and dye and found out i only have one tube, really backwards uterus, worse PCOS than thought, so that was fun but luckily enough no endo found. but GP refered me to Endocronologist to get more help as well as seeing Dr Jain we are not waiting on IUI and been told likely to get it in May-June maybe.... but will depend on what they have etc we have been offered 6 rounds so hopefully we will get that but if they fail we have to go private of IVF because i already have a living child where as my partner does not so feel little unfair but not much can do just got to hope IUI works!

 

[Debbie82]

Sorry to hear about the really tough time you've been having

I am not sure if he is new or not but thats the person all our results will be going to and who will decide our treatment (barring a miracle will be ICSI). From a little Google research it looks like he could be a she and is or was based at Glasgow Royal

 

[lynne192]

ah right not sure he/she is now though but you will prob need to get your treatment might be carried out in another hospital think our IUI might be in the royal not sure know IVF is through the royal.

Hi Lynne

Just checked my letter from Monklands and she must definitely be knew cos they've not updated their letters with her name.

They have Dr Conway and Dr Jain's names printed but Dr Deshpande's has been hand written on so reckon she must have only been there the last few months. She must now be based at Monklands though cos that is where we will see her in March.

After googling her name it seems people only have good things to say about her so think we have hit it lucky in getting her.

Think consultantations and any pre-treatment scans etc are carried out at Monklands but for all treatment it is GRI.

 

[lynne192]

yeah maybe not heard of her before tbh. are they going to offer you a HSG or lap and dye?

most treatment bar IVF is carried out at Monklands as its local hospital for alot of people. she wont actually be based at Monklands i don't think she will be a surgon at some bigger hospital like Dr jain and conway, we were meant to get conway but i think he was retiring.
