IVF/ICSI @ Liverpool Womens Hospital

[africaqueen]

Jane- If you had the mmr jab as a baby and again in school, chances are that you will be immune but the odd woman will still need a top up mmr jab so best to chase that result asap. They told me after a wk that the result was not in, so i asked them to call the lab and the nurse called me back 10 mins later to say that i showed lack of immunity so just got to wait till the 6th to get 2nd dose an then back HC 3wks after that to get blood retested and then finally when the result is in, we are good to go and then just wait for a cons appt. Aaah the waiting is doing my head in! lol. Time is going fast tho so hopefully we can start asap. Good luck with your results x

Hi ladies.

I missed the news last night but found this on the web...

https://www.liverpooldailypost.co.u...crease-chances-of-ivf-success-92534-28918789/

I think its going to really increase our chances ladies!! wonderful news xxx

 

[Jane22]

Hi Girls

Can anyone recommend the best number to get through to HC on?
I have left messages on the 4260 extension (Mr Kingslands secretary) and 4121, but no joy!
Want to chase blood results and appointment letter.

Thank you xx

 

[BabydustxXx]

Hi ladies, hope your good. I'm sat in a meeting, bored out of my skull so I thought I would pop in to say hello.

Africaqueen that is great news. Let's hope it's the start for BFP all round. I am still waiting for AF.....

Jane the number I posted is the only number I have. Good luck

 

[africaqueen]

Jane- Try Northwest Fertility office number- 702 4287/4461

or the nursing station numbers... 4123/4249

I find i get through faster to NW fertility number but keep trying the nurses station numbers as its just pot luck when they pick up. Also they will not give you any results over the phone other than your rubella. Good luck xxx

 

[africaqueen]

Babydust- Crossed posts there. Yes it is wonderful news and im sure will increase BFPS overall so very hopeful Hope the meeting is not too long and boring! know that feeling! lol xxx

 

[Jane22]

Hi Girls

Thanks for that - I just got through on 4249 number, but my results arent in yet?! She said that they can take 2 weeks to come through as they are done off-site. Only then will the process an appointment for me, which I presume will then be a 4-6 week wait.

Not happy - looks like I'll be starting a month later than I thought, unless they get sorted out quick smart.

Hmmm.

Hope everyone else is faring better! xx

 

[cvaeh]

Hi all

Africaqueen - That sounds promising. Do you know when they are going to start using the new machine? I am hoping they have already started using it seeing as I am going in for egg collection tomorrow. I really hope I get some fertilised embryos.

Laura- How is your stimming going? I found mixing the Menopur really stressful but it'll all be worth it in the end.

All - I went to my GP today to see if he would sign me off for a few days as I have already had two days of with this bug/quick stimulation and I am not sure when my ET is going to be next week and I wanted a few days to rest after as well. It was a locum doctor and he didn't have clue about IVF (I started telling him I was going for egg collection tomorrow and then transfer next week - He asked me why I didn't know when egg transfer was going to be?) He sais that it was against the law to sign me off before 7 days but if I went back next Tuesday He was sure one of the doctors would sign me off. I explained that if I had been in for egg transfer that day I really wouldn't be up to sitting in a hospital waiting room and he said to come the next day and it would be post dated. My worry then would be if they turned round and said I couln't have one! I never have time off and the only time I go to the doctor is with my fertility issues so I feellike screaming! I am just going to have to hope they give me a certificate next week. Aaaaaaaarh!

 

[laura25]

hi girlies, how r we all?

just read that link you had sarah, thats brill news, are they using it now? i hope so! hehe lets hope we all get our BFPSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! xxx

 

[Del xx]

Hi ladies! Everyone ok?
Thanks for that Africa,let's hope it will do the job! U feeling better today? Xx
Laura,how's the stims going? xx
Hi Polly,babydust,jane and cvaeh Xx
Cvaeh, you need to sign yourself off for the first 7 days and then u will need a docs note. I wouldn't go in to the surgery,I'd phone and ask if a doctor could ring u back,I'm sure when u explain the situation they will sign u off for a week or two hun. My docs have been excellent both times and i had no problems getting a note. Does work know that your having treatment? Xx
Hope I haven't left anyone out Xxx
I'm off to dance class for an hour,spk l8r x
