You get a free cycle off ivf they use the short protocol all you have too do is instead of taking hcg trigger there using another hormone which isnt approved yet that's why there holding the study it's too apparently stop the horrid side effects off the hcg trigger.

Hi mrs h I'm not on NHs but my clinic is sending through the bloody NHs system which is a right joke because I'm a private patient, because of this I am having to wait NHs times, they will have to change the appointment anyway as it stands as my husband can't do the time they have asked... I guess I'll try to get them to do all the screening tests etc so the consultant will have all the results there waiting at the appointment. I want to change clinic but hubby refuses to travel very much further than we already will be.

I'm not feeling optimistic about this clinic but its causing such a tension between me and hubby, the whole ivf business is stressing us out, he is in denial about the whole fertility issues, I wish he got that me having no tubes makes it impossible, he stil thinks I'm wrong. Xxx

 

[bettybee1]

Screna - that sucks!!!! Ive enquired today i told then i had a tiny bit of pcos but coz o ovulate regulary and have normal cycles thats why they might have said am fine going too do it if i dont get preggo with My self funded ivf !!

Kazza - hey !! Have you had a can yet cxx

 

[scerena]

betty yeh you have normal cycles so no reason why they could say no they did however say they wpmight be doing a pcos IVF trial in a while and to email the in a few months

That is great that you have a back up plan but you WON'T need it, you're going to get your bfp

lamara men I'm sorry oh doesn't want to love clinics, like you said hopefully you will be able to get the tests done before so that you can have everything ready at your consultation, the wait wouldn't be too long if you can get the tests done in the meantime so you're not waiting ages for them after...

 

[lamara.foster]

That's what I was thinking scerena and at least ill feel like I'm doing something productive during the meantime, how's things going for you, I've been away for a couple days since we last spoke has af turned up xxx

 

[scerena]

lamara when are you going to enquire if you can get tests done in meantime???

I'm good thanks, yes af arrived Saturday, I started my pill yesterday

 

[kazzab25]

Scans tomorrow betty! How are you?

Thanks Scerena xxx

 

[lamara.foster]

Ill call tomorrow I will need to change that appointment time so ill see if they can move it forward but I guess it won't make much difference as they will have three months to work with whilst waiting for the hiv test results. I used to live close to London I wish I'd have done this sooner rather than waiting all this time. I'm so glad that af arrived for you and you got started now, things will be moving rather quickly for you now then I'm guessing. Xxx

 

[scerena]

lamara Fxd they move quickly from now for me

I live 1and a half/ two hours away from London, but I don't mind the travelling as longs it brings me my bfp

It would help to get the chromosone and HIV done as the chromosone take a while to come back and if you got one HIV done now it would cut your waiting time after the consultation... Also ask if anymore take a while to come back, as I was doing injectables cycles so I wasn't really keeping track on time of test results at the time...

You will get there it took me 5 months to finally get started on the pill after all the set backs that I had

kazza I can't wait to hear about tomorrow

 

[lamara.foster]

Yeah I'll see if I can get all the tests done in one day, I expect they will find some reason to tell me that's not going to happen though. Don't get me wrong I don't mind waiting but I really don't like not knowing the score with the clinic when I am literally giving someone else my eggs and the clinic do seem fairly ungrateful... I mean its not like I'm donating my clothes or something it's part of my body... I guess they are stressing me out ha.

I feel the same about travel but hubby is the opposite... Wish he would understand xxx

 

[scerena]

lamara I hope that the clinic start bucking their ideas up and helping you to get this started ASAP!!! The worse thing is waiting around and not being able to do anything

You're right you are donating something so precious and for that they should hold you on a pedestal for what you're dong. When you call tomorrow let us know how it goes

Hi Lamara,

It all sounds very poorly organised on there part - if you dont mind me asking where abouts do you live? The team at Care Fertility have been frustrating at times but they havent taken anywhere near that length of time to sort things out and they do all the treatments and tests "inhouse" so no waiting for NHS times... might be worth a look to see if they have a hospital in your area?

Sorry to hear you have no tubes - in our case it is husband who has fertility issues - hopefully im ok - but then again we wont know that until we start trying!

Fingers crosse for you and let me know how you get on when you call them - im sure if you are self funding then they will let you start going through the test prior to your first appointment...

Are you going down the DE route or using your own?

Sorry to ask all the questions!

x

Hiya, I spoke to the clinic today and they moved my appointment date forward by a week, they said I have to go through my gp to get the bloods done and the swabs etc and my husband has to have a referral sent off for the semen analysis by his gp, it seems very beat around the bush at this clinic. I'm in Salisbury so southampton is the closest clinic other than Salisbury itself which is poor for its success rates and extremely high prices for egg sharers. I have made a joint appointment this Friday for me and hubby to see our gp and sort out the tests ect but the gp last time wouldn't even give me a hiv test so I doubt that ill be getting any help again... Worth a try though I guess. I'm using my own eggs but giving half of them to a donor so I get a subsidised price for my ivf treatment. Xxx

 

[scerena]

If its an NHS referral they should do your HIV hep b and c plus swabs- I remember having to get all them done via my gp before my first NHS appointment with them... Gps however won't do chromosone tests etc but they can do the std tests...

So what date is our app now???
Did to ask why you are having an NHS referral? As you're a private patient??? Could be because they're an NHS and private hospital and not just a private hospital? But still you're gong privately so I don't really get that?

Anyway, worth a try trying to get the bloods done, you will get there I know how frustrated you're feeling right now though as I have been in your position

 

[lamara.foster]

So the dr should do my tests without arguments then? I asked another woman why it is NHs appointments and she said that I would have to pay if its not NHs appointments, so I should feel grateful I'm getting this done free really. My new appointment is may 30th. I have the counselling in a week so that's the kick start for me really. I'm not going to stress about it anymore, just have to go with it. How long are you on the pill for now xxx
