IVF Appointment was a *nightmare*

[hollee]

oh curly sue i know exactly how your feeling, DH & i had our lap & dye follow up app today (4.5 months later) i have pcos & endo i have just spent 3 months on clomid which FS said was a waste of time as DH's results need investigating (low sperm & mobility count) so i am to stop clomid and if DH can be sorted try clomid again or if not its IVF aswell. he couldn't understand why i was frustrated when he said there was a 5 week wait for DH's app im sick to death of waiting its all i seem to do...

he also said at the end your trying so hard now once you get your baby you'll want a break WTF

im sorry yours was such a bitch, you think working in the department they can sympathize a bit better & have some tact no "normal" comments ffs who does she think she is!

im halfway through my block of areo choclate

Ah Hollie, sorry you are like me. I would not mind if I had actually been told I had PCOS all along. I wasn't. So, think about it. PCOS. Endometriosis. Poor ovulation AND dodgy hormones. What chance did I have of getting pregnant for all that time? Basically none, right?

And to be told in the manner I was told, in such a flippant way. That has made me so angry.

Oh CS - I'm so sorry things didn't go well for you. I really don't know what to say. Why any employee of the medical profession would refer to other women as 'normal' when clearly your blood results aren't within their desired boundaries, is beyond me. Talk about kicking you while you're down. It's one thing being honest, but another being cruel

I'll keep my fingers crossed that your results were a one off, and your next ones are much better...

Ah Maz, I have no idea. I really have no idea. Lets just say that my experiences with this particular hospital have been nothing short of shocking. Nothing should surprise me, really.

I actually think that for a women who has been unable to get pregnant and who is struggling to understand anything at all it is HIGHLY unprofessional of them to a) not bother telling me, for almost a year, that I have PCOS and am labelled high risk for any IVF cycle and b) tell me in the way that they did. To just blurt it out. To just carry on a whole discussion based around the fact that I have this condition and act like I know about it when I explicitly told her at the start of the appointment that I had never been diagnosed with it.

I think I was in too much shock to actually process it. I am so very angry now, though. So utterly, terribly angry. I was having an AMAZING week as well. My favoured 'passtime' had gone PERFECTLY, twice in a week. Everything was good. I was bouncing around like Luis Garcia on Speed. And then this.

Talk about a fall from Grace.
