Had a call at work this morning from the hospital, there was a cancellation for a review apt with our consultant so they have given it to us! About two months ahead of schedule, which I know I should be thrilled about, but I'm also kinda scared, just because I don't know what to expect and I usually have ages before any appointments to think about what I want to ask and write a list of questions, but now I only have Saturday, cos I'm working Sunday, aaahhh. Plus I haven't lost as much weight as I would like and another eight weeks would help with that!!

Ok, sorry for ranting on, but feel better after getting that of my chest!!

PS:- Any of the Northern Ireland girlies know how many funded IUI cycles we normally get? Just because I think that will be our next step.
 
good luck with the appt, dont worry about it.

A step closed towards your dream x
 
Thanks ladies, feel much better this morning, have drawn up a list of questions I want to ask & feel much more prepared, roll on Monday!

Have a lovely weekend girlies.

:hugs:

Steph
 
hope all goes well on monday hun!!! let us know how it goes xx
 
Hi steph,

What great news about ur app. I have no idea how many IUI cycles u get, possibly 3? Is this definately ur next step?
 
Hi steph

That's great news on your appointment. Not sure how many funded IUI treatments you can have - we were told not to bother as the increase in success compared to normal is pretty slim - but see what your doc tells you. You'll probably have plenty of time to lose the weight between now and the start of your treatment as I believe the waiting time for treatment is somewhere between 12 & 15 months after the review appointment.

Good luck for tomorrow ...

:hug:
 
Hi ladies, thank you all for all your good wishes.

Appointment today was awful, a complete waste of time. Kept waiting for over an hour and a half because the FC missed our name on his apt list (twat!) and then in & out in less than 5 mins. Wouldn't answer any of my questions. I am so disheartened. I have no faith in him or the hospital. Haven't stopped crying since I left. Basically am no further on than we were before and have to wait another 9 months before we can see him again.
 
Oh steph, I'm so sorry about ur crappy app. I went up on Thursday and was left waiting an hour and 10 mins as well. When I complained, they said it was my fault for coming in late. I was fuming coz I'd been there early and they just forgot about me!

I know what u mean about the waiting list -it's absolutely shocking! Did u not get any answers at all?
 
Steph that is awful. Is it worth writing and complaining or asking for a different FS/hopsital??

:hug:
 
Unfortunately in N.I we only have one hospital that has a fertility clinic. It's a flippin disgrace!
 
What a chock of shit. I'm so sorry you had to experience that.
Unfortunately I know only too well what specialists are like...all about money!

Is there another clinic you can inquire too? I would try to get that ball rolling.
If not, I would write a letter of complaint to the head of the clinic to view you
opinions, you never know, you may not be the first to complain
 
Unfortunately there is no other NHS clinic in Northern Ireland. That is our only one. I usually would be the first to write & complain, but I just don't see the point now; I had written to my consultant after we first saw him last September and am still waiting on a reply to this & a follow-up email sent in February. They just don't give a toss. Am looking into going private but this is mega expensive :sad2: I just don't know what to do.

It really helps have all you lovely girlies to talk to, cos I know you all understand, thank you all :hug:

Supposed to be getting ready for work, but really can't be bothered, just want to hide under the duvet!
