Hey there--I'm feeling pretty well. 6 days until my beta and I'm not spotting which is good as I spotted by now with both previous IVFs (and I spot early with my usual cycles). FX

Very sad to say that we lost our appeal. Got the letter yesterday saying our PCT will only allow 2 cycles on nhs unless exceptional circumstances which we dont have?!! surely in the field of infertility me having no tubes thus no way on earth of getting pregnant naturally and also the fact that i have such low egg reserve would be classed as exceptional?!! Just so sad yesterday. Spent the day crying with dh and got very drunk which has solved nothing obviously but i just couldnt cope. We NEVER get a break!

Well my dad has seen the state im in and he has very kindly offered to pay for a cycle of ICSI for us! he is not a rich man an thats pretty much all his life savings so we are very thankful to him. We are going to be having our 3rd cycle in the new year at a clinic in Athens in Greece as they offer 2 cycles for just over £4000. So that is the next stage of our journey. xxx

Hi to all the gang and thank you all for support. Means a lot x

 

[princess_1991]

Oh aq I'm so sorry to hear that! You really don't catch a break do you

Glad to hear you have a plan tho, how kind of your dad! maybe a bit of sun and I hope what will be a relaxing break while you do your cycle will be just what you need, sending you massive

 

[Traskey]

Aww AQ that really sucks! How unfair. I am so cross on your behalf.

What an amazing gesture by your dad. I sincerely hope this gets you the baby you deserve xxxxxx

for everyone else cycling. Good luck.

for all the preggo ladies. Hope you're all well xxxx

AFM in hospital with preeclampsia being monitored.

 

[schoolteacher]

I'm so sorry to hear the appeal failed AQ, I would really love to know what they consider exceptional circumstances then???!!! Crazy!
So glad your dad is able to help, how kind! Glad also that you have a an, goi g abroad is a great idea and something I would consider if I couldn't egg share. X x

Trask- sorry to hear your in hospital, sounds like its the best place to be however. Xxx

 

[rosababy]

oh AQ. I'm so so sorry. What a gift from your dad, though. That was so amazing of him to give you the money.

 

[babies7777]

Really sorry aq, totally sucks they can just choose to ignore nice guidelines when it suits them!

So exciting ur going abroad and 2 cycles is awesome, everything crossed for u.

Hope u feel better soon T

Maddie, ur coming along soooooooooo fast, plus he/she is born in my bday month, perfect time to be born.

Hi to everyone else and hugs.

 

[~Hope~]

Oh aq that really sucks. Very generous gesture from your dad though.fx that the new year will bring you a BFP!

Tracy hope everything is ok with you and the girls

Hello everyone :wave:

So glad I didn't go to work in the office today. There's been a bomb scare in the shopping centre and it's chaos. Poor DH is stuck at the bus stop in the pouring rain hoping he can get home sometime soon!

 

[africaqueen]

Trask- You get plenty of rest and hope you feel ok x

Thanks for all the support ladies. I feel sad that we wont be having treatment this year but im praying 2013 is our lucky year. xxx

 

[Maddie30]

AQ I'm soo sorry that you have been refused. It's awful that they don't class your case as exceptional circumstances. I'm so glad your dad is helping you. Great weather & hopefully 1 of the 2 cycles will result in your bfp!! 2013 will be your time. Keep talking to Hubby if you have low days & good luck for the future xx

Traskey hope you get better soon. Your in the right place though. Keep rested xx

Thanks babies.....hope your feeling ok xxxx

 

[Kelly9]

So sorry AQ but what an amazing Dad! Super excited to follow you on your journey in the new year.

Hope I got your FB message will add you lol, wasn't sure who was requesting!

 

[kazzab25]

Aq I'm sorry hun xxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Thanks for all support ladies.

Babies and Rosa- Cannot believe how fast time has gone! not long now ladies! x

Maddie, Hope and Trask- Hope all is going well x

ST and Tiff- Almost in 2nd tri as time is going so quick. So happy for you both x

Tinks- If your reading please let me know your ok??? does anyone have her on fb or keep in touch outside of here?? x

Hi to Kazza, Likkle, and all the gang x

AFM- Well after much investigation and discussion, me an dh have decided to have our next cycle of IVF with ICSI at womens again. We worked out all the extras for having treatment abroad and taking into account flights, transfers, hotels, medical insurance, visa and loss of earnings for us both we would only be saving a few hundred pounds so we will be saving the additional cash to put to my dads very generous gift and will be having our 3rd cycle in Jan/Feb 2013 in the meantime we are going to be submitting a letter to PCT saying we dont agree with the appeal decision and we are also getting our MP involved in one last ditch attempt to try and alter the outcome as ideally we really dont want to be taking my dads hard earnt savings for something even the NICE guidelines states we are entitled to given our situation, so fingers crossed but at least now we know either way we will be having our 3rd cycle in the new year xxx

 

[Maddie30]

AQ I think that you are doing the right thing. I don't blame you appealing again with mp involvement. Surely something can be done. Another idea is to start a thread on here asking if any other women have been in your situation & how they got around getting a third cycle. Goodluck. Were all with you xxx
