IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[Lovetoeatcake]

Thanks for the advice ladies. I am definitely gonna take it one step at a time. Just focusing on our appointment on Thursday!

Welcome to the thread Bear! I have my first consultation on Thursday to discuss the results of my bloods. We have to take all our forms with us to. They give you a lot of forms to fill in! These are usually given at the Patient Information Evening, which you will be invited to before you start. We will probably be having ICSI, so i will keep you updated with what protocol they put us on.

MrsE - Thats great news about your scan! I hope your egg collection goes well and you get some beautiful eggs!

Just a quick question - hubby and i completed all those forms they give you today. On the welfare of the child form, there was a question about mental illness. My husband has suffered with a bit of anxiety and mild depression in the past. Nothing major and he actually had a bit of counselling for it rather than take medication. This was quite a few years ago. Anyway he wrote it on the form, but now I'm worrying that it might delay us if they decide to look into his medical history further. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing?

Girls sorry I've ee AWOL lately, had some bad news, my operation has been put back! Was really upset as it delays our FET but there's nothing I can do couldn't face coming on hear with everyone having an ok time and spoil the mood but thought I should an i really wanted to catch up on everyone's news. Waiting for a new date now so op could be late march / April instead.

Mrse hopefully everything goes well next week

Lovetoeatcake you have nothing to worry about. Hubby had mild depression about 4 years ago (he's a teacher and had a run in with an Ofsted inspector that dented his confidence) we declared it and there was no trouble at all.

Sammy fx everything goes well! Stay positive the physical parts nearly done with - just the mental bit to go now!

Bear - welcome! We're all really friendly and chatty!!

Was thinking we should try to rearrange our meet up? What does everyone think? We couldn't do it because of Christmas etc last time but how about we try and arrange? What do you think?

Take care everyone an hi to the rest of the gang!

X xx

Ps Mrse - if you stay off sick after et it's pregnancy related so you may want to tell them afterwards - they can't hold it against you then!

 

[africaqueen]

Gemz- Ah im sorry your op has been delayed hun did they say why?? hope they dont delay mine as im getting more nervous and dont need more time to dwell on it tbh. Hope your ok. I think it would be nice to re-arrange our meet up just let me know when and il be there xxx

 

[Lindylou]

Likkle- gutted for you. What reason did they give ? It is so unfair. I really don't think they understand how even a weeks delay effects us. Can you ask to be put on a cancellation list?

Sounds good about meeting up. I'm due in 3 weeks (ticker not right) but sure LO will be late!

 

[Likklegemz]

hi girls,

No reason was given! I got the letter on Saturday in the post to let me know - didnt even phone me! was really upset as I couldnt even contact them about it yesterday as the department was closed!

gonna try and call tomorrow and demand to be placed on the cancellation list. I dont care if they call the day before and tell me to come in tomorrow - just want it done now!!!!

 

[little_angel]

Hi All,

Haven't been around for a little while - see there's been another couple of newbies - so welcome to you xx

Likkle - sorry to hear your op has been put back, so frustrating and upsetting for you. Sending hugs xx

Hope everyone else is doing OK ...

I have my appointment on Friday to go and see them over the drugs (they're being couriered on Wednesday) - just wondered what to expect at the appointment, how long will I be there for and will I start my injections then do you know? Sorry - I just need to have things clear in my head!!

[Lindylou]

Little- they go through the drugs with you and show you how to give yourself them. They then tell you start date and book your scan appointment. It doesn't take too long, about 45 mins. Xxxx
