Hi girls how did yday go africa I know how u feel I hate christenings myself don't know if anyone can help me here but my AF is late and I have my scan thursday I'm panicking a bit now Its only by about 4 days but with me down reging I thought it would have brought it on a bit earlier xx

Hi Ladies,

First time I have posted here but have been reading for a while so thought I'd better introduce myself.

We are in Chester and have seen Dr Haddad at the Countess. Quiet a negative appointment really. For a starter he continued to call my DH the wrong name through the whole appointment, despite being told over and over. We have had all bloods and test done and have results from everything. We have know for months that DH has low count, funny shaped, non swimmers so knew we would be having ICSI.

He has put us on the waiting list to start ICSI at LWH, we have been told the waiting list is 4-6months. This bit I am unsure of as I have read several forums and nobody else has had to wait?? And a girl in work was told after her last appointment she could start the month after so I don't know where this has come from??

The thing that really upset me was lots of talks of cutting funding. He basically said that they are hearing in April about the cuts for both Chester and Liverpool. He strongly believes they are going to make big cuts. The whole appointment he just kept saying 'I don't know' to everything we asked.
We even asked if they cut funding would we be notified and he said probably not!

He said they would only put one egg back in me but we would like 2, we are aware of all the risk of multiple birth etc but really want the 2, especially if they are going to cut funding.

Would love to join you ladies and any insight would be much appreciated

MrsB x x

Hi girls!!
How's everyone doing?
All is well with me thanks Africaqueen, count down 4 u now hun! woohoo!!
Laura,not long till your hols, i'm sure u can't wait. We've just booked to go away May half term 4 a week in the sun,feel that we needed a break.Won't be able to go during the summer hols if i've started treatment again,fx!! I've started to take the royal jelly tabs that u mentioned,worth a try . Going to start acupuncture 2!!!

What are u girls doing when it comes to drinking alcohol?? I love my glass of wine every now and again!! wine: Didn't drink any in the 7 weeks leading up to or during my first icsi or during my FET. I know they say that alcohol effects the quailty of your eggs, just wanted to know what your take was on the matter??

Becky - How are u hun? Don't worry about the mood swings, I was a super bitch when I was on my injections, lol
Foxey - hope all is well with u? xx
Littlepee - How u feeling? xx
Hi to all the other ladies and welcome to Mrs B. xx

Mrs B - not sure why they have told u about the wait, why don't u give LWH a ring to find out what's going on.x

 

[africaqueen]

Hiya girls

Hope everyone is ok x

Party went ok actually. I enjoyed cuddling the babies whilst the mums had a break
I did sink a few glasses wine tho... lol. Got to get to grips with my diet again cos need to lose 12lb within 22 days... eeek. Il make sure i do it tho. Nothing is going to stuff up this appt when we have waited so bloody long!

Welcome Mrs brooks and best of luck. I pray they dnt cut funding! our appt is in april so hope we just make it if they are going to do that! too much worry isnt it?

[babys4beckyx]

Welcome mrs brooks as for the waitin list there isn't one I started the same month as we received results how awful is ur doctor he shouldn't be doin that job nasty man as if it isn't hard enough already and I hope and pray they don't cut funding :/ they did mention this to me too at the moment its 2 goes on nhs but may be reduced to 1 hope not xxx well still no sign of AF gettin really worried now x

 

[foxeydevil2]

hope everyone else is good and wishing u all lots of babydust! xxx

 

[MrsBrooks]

Hi ladies,

Thank you for the warm welcome x

I am going to call LWH next Monday to see what's going on, I've not come across anyone else who has been told that waiting time. We are considering going private at the moment, but obviously that involves alot of planning round finances.

So how is everyone doing today??

X x

 

[laura25]

hiya mrs brooks, i was told there was a waiting list but thats because my specialist at lwh said he had to say there would be a waiting list up2 6 months because they never actually know how long it is, but there wasnt we only waited a month so hopefully u wont have to wait that long hun.xxx
