We finally got a letter today from Barts for an appointment on Wednesday 18th July.
Really pleased with this because they told me it would be the end of July. Finally the ball is rolling for us. This has made my day!!!
Fx it is the start of our IVF journey.
Just had to tell you all...
Ok totally not TTC related but anyone reading this book? I am book 3 and cannot put it down!! :oooo:
Okay so it is not the best well written noval ever, but it is soo addictive and is certainly making my train journey more intersting in the morning :)
Neil is def not complaining about it...
Morning ladies
Just to clarify in case I have been doing this wrong. I did 2 opks the last 2 days and they showed a second pink line but not as strong as the test line. This morning I did it again and it was def positive. So... When is the best time to dtd? We dtd last night, so do I leave...
Ranting thread warning!
Got my period today so I decided to chase Barts our fertility clinic. I actually tried to call them yesterday only to be on hold for 24 minutes. When it got to 4 o'clock the phone cut me off so I was fuming. I tried again today only to be put on hold again for 20...
I am so annoyed with myself I could cry.
I basically got a call today from my PCT with all of our IVF referal forms and it transpires that we can no longer be referred to Herts and Essex Fertility Clinic as they are no longer taking NHS patients via Oxford Fertility Unit. We had to go via...
Hi Ladies
I have done 4 ovulation tests over the last 2 days. the 2 yesterday showed a line but today they are even stronger and def positive.
This is the last month we have to TTC before we start IVF and I decided to try to SMEP. Can I just check that I have this right? I have read that...
Hi Girls
I am on a total down day today! :-( :mad:
I woke up this morning and AF had arrived. (right on day CD 26)
It has finally dawned on me that we need help and it will be IVF. I am not sure why this period has hit home so much. Perhaps it was because 3 months ago we decided to try a...
Hi Girls
I have been meaning to post about this for some time!
I have noticed that around ovulation time (which is right now for me) I get period like symptoms i.e crampting feeling more irrational etc, but the worse is my food cravings. I get a total sugar fix and will stop at nothing to...
Morning girls
I have always had 25/26 day cycles. I have never been late. I am now on cycle day 28 with no period. What has turned from excitement has now turned to worry. I have done 2 digital tests on day 27 and this morning on day 28 both of which are 'not pregnant' so I am clearly not...
Hi Girls
I have not been on the forum a lot recently mainly because I have not had a lot to say, but also because Neil and I are waiting for our referal for IVF. But I have also been thinking a lot different about things lately. It all came about as we started to think about our summer...
Hi Ladies
I was told about this blog the other day, and I thought that for once I would try and do a light hearted thread, something to try and make everyone smile, plus it is Friday and nearly wine time :)
Anyway when we were at the fertility clinic the other night the quest speaker told...
Neil and I went to Essex and Herts last night to listen to their guest speaker at their open evening and have a tour of the clinic.
I have to say from the minute I walked in I felt at ease. They were all so nice. The guest speaker was Kate Brian and she spoke to us about her IVF journey. She...
Hi Girls
I downloaded onto my Kindle Jodi Picoult's book Sing You Home and I cannot put it down. Whilst the issues go far wider than IVF the book is riviating about the male perspective of infertility and what men go through as well as us. I would throughly recommend this book to anyone who...
Morning ladies
Last night I did a cheap OPK and it came back a strong line, so I decided for the first time ever to try a Clear Blue Digi and a Boots ovulation kit test (you know the ones that are mega expensive???!!) and they came back with a happy face!!:):):) and 2 strong pink lines. I...
You have to give to my AF she turns up dead on every 26 days and this month is no exception! I had the smallest most tiniest bit of hope this month that after my Hycosy it would have flushed anything away that was standing in the way, turning my unexplained infertility into explained fertility...
Morning girls
The last week or so hubby and I (along with my mum who loves a project and a good bit of research) have been going through the list of NHS clinics and hospitals that we get to chose from for our treament. I have been able to speak to women who have had treament at each clinic...
Hi Ladies
Did anyone watch this last night?? :eh:
I was really angry last night after it finished. I just dont understand how vile some people can be and how terrible they are at parenting.
Then I get so frustrated that we would make fab parents (as all of you lovely ladies would) and...
Girls
My NHS hospital is driving me mad!!! :mad:
Just how hard is it to get simple information these days?? As you know hubby and I went back on Tuesday for our follow up to be told that we will get referred to an IVF clinic. They did not have the book with the list of those 5 clinics...
