Hospital have rearranged my scan...

[CurlySue]

...y'know, the one I have been having panic attacks about, the one I have been counting down the minutes to, the only thing that is going to help me feel positive about anything.

The one that is my landmark, my milestone, the thing which tells me either way whether or not this potential child is viable.

I got a message left on my phone. "Hi, this is the hospital. We're rearranging your scan. Can you give us a call and we'll give you the details?"

This scan has been booked for three weeks.

This scan is supposed to take place three weeks after your positive test to make sure that everything is okay.

They KNOW how stressful this is, and how every second feels like ten years.

They've rearranged my fucking scan...and I am absolutely at the end of my rope with them.

Sorry. Rant.

Wow...that is shit. Is there a cancellation list? Is this scan change done from the same clinic as your FS, and if not, is he aware of the change? Sorry to hear this.

Oh no that's awful!

This is ridiculous how are you meant to know if you're carrying a viable pregnancy? I'm sure you are but thats not the point - this hospital seem to have no consideration to any human feelings.

Back.

I managed to get hold of them after a couple of hours. They wanted to move my appointment back DAYS. I know it doesn't seem like an awful lot, but when you've been on edge for three weeks and you have it in your head that you are going to know either way on a certain day then you want to know on that very day. Even a delay of a few hours is torture because it's more time to think, more time to worry, more time to feel awful. I asked them why it had to be delayed and you know waht they said? "Oh it was an admin error."

They booked this appointment THREE weeks ago.

In the end after some discussion they offered me an appointment on the same day as my original scan but instead of being 9.20am it is now 2.10pm.

My question is...if that appointment was there and they knew how stressed out people get about this having just gone through IVF, why did they not just offer me that appointment in the first place?

I really have had it with this hospital. Honestly.

Im Glad You Kind Of Got It sorted

hospital dont take into consideration of other people

 

[CurlySue]

Nope they don't. They cheerfully think that you will just accept whatever they say and feel nothing about it whatsoever. Tis wrong.

Bloody hospitals... What a nightmare. I'm glad you don't have to wait days for another scan, but even 5 hours is too long... WTF? Admin error? That's nearly as good as my admin error where they suspended my treatment cos I'm preggers!!!!

So what day is your scan?

 

[CurlySue]

Scan is Wednesday afternoon, Maz. But yeah, five hours is bad enough. Why did it take them almost three weeks to spot this 'admin error' is what I want to know...

Tossers!

 

[toby2]

[CareBear]

What a pile of crap, glad you've got it the same day though

 

[BizyBee]

What a bunch of bull. You think they'd know better!

 

[toby2]

they dont need it but today i reckon you might, so heres to the toffee crisp(s)







I bet it still feels a million years away and far to close all at the same time but you have nearly made it to your next milestone(((((((((((())))))))))

 

[sparkle83]

fingers crossed hon, not long to go now it'll be fine, I'm sure.

 

[CurlySue]

Still think there’s nothing there :s

 

[sparkle83]

have they done blood tests to check for doubling etc? (I'm guessing I might have missed the earlier part of the story)

 

[toby2]

((((((((((((((((curly)))))))))))))))))))
am not suprised thats what you think but you have been wrong before and heres hoping you are double wrong again!!!(I know that sounds horrible but i mean it nicely!)
