Hubby just phoned the hospital to find out where I am on the waiting list for my operation, to see if we could have any idea of when it would be (and thus when we could start TTC...) and they have said that they looked at my notes and it doesn't look like I am on the waiting list at all!!!!! 
When I had my last consultant appointment the doctor told me that I would be looking at 14-18 weeks waiting, it's been 7 weeks since then already! I am going to flip if they tell me I have to wait another 18 weeks!!! I feel like I'm ready to go mental here!
I'm in a lot of pain, it's hard to walk sometimes and not only that I sometimes can't get to sleep because the pain in my knees is just too bad (fortunately it's not constant, it comes and goes but anyone who has had really badly torn cartilage will know how much it can hurt!) but not only that, we can't start TTC until this op is over and we ideally wanted to start this December - well that DEFINATELY won't be happening now!
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH
I'm waiting for them to ring back now with an explanation... It's not like this is my fault - after I saw the consultant I was given a booking-in form and I filled it straight in there and then and gave it to the receptionist... was told to expect an 18 weeks wait, okay, fine, fair enough.
Later I phoned up and asked to be considered for any cancellations, the receptionist then told me she had my notes up and would put it down that I could do cancellations - well if I wasn't even on the list she must have lied about that?!?
I am SO angry right now - I feel like I could go mental at whoever has cocked up here because I have been waiting patiently for this for what feels like forever (I had this same problem through my whole pregnancy but couldn't have the op because I was pregnant...) and now I have to wait even longer because of someone else's incompetence!
PS: So sorry for the rant - just had to get this out there where others would understand my frustration - all we are waiting for (WTT) is this stupid operation, otherwise we are ready, and now we have to wait even longer!!!
