Young PCOS'ers! ~ 35 BFPs down!! ~

there is no way that they are only doing this for diagnostic purposes. Sorry, no way. How rude! I'll definitely ask them when I get there as well. I just thought surely it's easier to do a HSG to check my tubes first...because the only way I can see them being able to check them during the op is to cut them open? If I can get around it, I will!

 

[nlk]

OK they literally just called me back. *deep breath*

Mine is diagnostic only which means I need to have a follow up to discuss what was found (the earliest opportunity for this is December!) and then to organise a second op to go back and sort it all out. I'm so annoyed. I'm going to speak to the person doing my surgery to ask if they can just sort it all out, because I really don't want to go back in.

I'm going to give the follow up appt guy a call now, and see whether I can book in now for it, and see whether there are any cancellations etc that means I can get in earlier. They're also saying that it's highly unlikely that I will be told the outcome straight away, which means I need to wait until December just to find out what the hell they did!

I'm so upset. Why would they put women through this?

Oh nlk good luck, what day is it?
And Jojo congrats on your short cycle!!! When I came off bcp I had no period for 100 days at which point my fs gave me clomid straight away mid cycle (no provera) and I fell pregnant off it...so I have not a period in ages!

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Omg nlk that is terrible hope u sort them out!!!

 

[nlk]

it's next tuesday. There is no way I'm going to agree them doing it as a diagnostic thing only. what a joke!

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Good I think u should stick to your guns! Perhaps it's a consent thing- so maybe if you consent to several
Procedures b4 u go in may resolve it?

 

[nlk]

well they're saying unless you specifically ask them to fix anything they find, it's diagnostic only...but had I not checked, I was under the assumption that they would fix it there and then anyways! I mean, why would I think that they would put me under to then need to put me under again in 4 months time! It just doesn't seem logical!

Don't worry, I will definitely be sticking to my guns

nlk that is so frustrating for you!! I'm sure FS get satisfaction out of putting us through the torture of waiting because they seem to love doing it.

Can you ask them to do it non diagnositic? I'm not really sure how it works?

hopefulfor1st your sooo lucky for not having an af and for being put on clomid, that's what I really wanted but doc wanted me to go for drilling instead!

I am going to ask, but apparently they might not agree to it...but that's the only way I can get it it's so weird!

How stupid! surley it would save them money to do it all in one go aswell (that's NHS main priority isnt it)!

Well I keep telling my DH I'm going to sit in a bath filled with Baked Beans for a week and get people to sponsor me so I can afford to go private! you can join if you like lol!

generally, I've found the nhs ok. I'm thinking I will start considering going private when I get to the ivf bit, because I'm only entitled to one round on the nhs, and there seems to be a bit of confusion over the age I need to be to be eligible. So I figure, if they say I need to be 30 or something, I will go private (whether OH likes it or not!)

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Hopefully nlk you can sign off on numerous procedures so they can do it on the spot.
Do you st least get to talk to them b4 Tuesday?

 

[nlk]

nope I had a pre op assessment last week, but they couldn't tell me anything specific about my procedure, because they were just general....there were people getting all sorts of operations done, there. The only chance I will get to talk to them is when they come around to my ward about 1 hour before the op...it's stupid! And the actual doctor might not come round to me after I come around, meaning I might not even found out what happened.

 

[nexis]

I can't believe that nlk I really hope they will agree to do everything in one op rather than you having to go under twice

 

[scerena]

nlk they just flow the dye through your tubes like a hsg whilst you're sleeping...
EDIT just read your second post- OMG what twats!! I think it's so stupid IF something was wrong why they don't do it there and then instead of making you go under again!

They sorted me out there and then i filled out a form which basically said they can do anything they have to do teally and they did- I just don't get why they do that to some ladies! I am hoping and praying everything is fine with you and you won't have to do a second op

And you might not see your surgeon after mine come round and told me she opened a blocked tube done the ovarian drilling and everything was now fine... She told me the important stuff and then spoke with the fs at my follow up! They're taking the absolute p*ss!!! Can't believe it- I hope there is nothing wrong that needs fixing so you will be fine, cant believe they're making you wait 2months to find out the outcome I can't even imagine how angry you are right now!!!

laura your opk's are looking great I hope you catch that egg

 

[laurabe]

I'm waiting to O.. this is my last chance before my appointment for the fertility specialist.. When I got this appointment thru months ago I really thought I'd be pregnant by the time it came round.. now its under 5 weeks away

 

[scerena]

Laurabe fx'd you will get your I know what you mean I thought that too you still have a chance sending tons of your way

 

[laurabe]

I really thought last cycle would have been it.. it was the first time using Digi OPKs and I got my smiley faces and we BD plenty.. :-/

my OH's mother was telling me today how her daughter got pregnant twice while on the pill.. she doesnt know i'm TTC but still it wasnt great listening to her bang on about it.

Hey you, hope you've been able to unwind a little this evening. The NHS is a minefield of unfairness. In Wilts, some trusts offer 3 rounds of IVF provided you've a BMI under 30, married and a non-smoker - but this isn't the case for all. My BF and I both visit the same hospital for fertility treatment, get seen by two different docs and get two different levels of monitoring, despite the same diagnosis.

Times like these warrant the most severe of expletives and I hope you believe when we all tell you how angry we are on your behalf. Hope it all works out okay in the end - do keep us posted
