Hi All,

I just wanted to say Good Luck to all you ACB. I will now not be joining you as my clinic has let me down. So I am going to switch clinics and see if I can pick it all up again May/June. I will occassionally look in on you guys to see how you are going and I know there are going to be loads ...

Hi Phil,

I am a little calmer now so prehaps I will be able to explain it better. They won't make a day 19 appointment this month we will have to wait another month. It is enraging because we ask them so often would our blood dates effect any timings. The consultant did phone but he just said rules ...

I am absolutely enraged - S/hampton strike again. They will not let me make a day19 appointment because the infectious screening tests are not on file. Even though they know they are done and the results should be back in about 10 days time. We asked them separately about 3 times was the timing all ...

All,

thanks for the replies - I knew you guys would have the answers

Hi Traci,

the thyroid does affect your FSH so if you are slightly under your FSH will be high. The problem with the thyriod is that it controls every other organ in the body, so if it isn't functioning normal then all other organs behave badly. Because I have had problems for about 14 years I have ...

Hi Sarah,

this isn't sounding good. I think they are having real issues there. I get on well with one of the receptionists there. So the last time I phoned I managed to have a good long chat with her about the state of the new clinic and the Consultant's scandal. I almost wish I had an excuse to ...

Hi All,

why is it things go wrong at the worst time. As I said at the begining of the week I am having thyroid problems after ten years of the thing being controlled it chooses now to go wierd. Well I am now getting worried about how it is going to affect my treatment. I have lost 1/2 stone in ...

Sarah,

I know what you mean about the entrance - I couldn't believe they have actually have signs up to annouce it is the infertility clinic. At least with the BUPA place you could have been going in with any sort of illness, now everyone knows your "illness".

I am glad at least there is public ...

Hi All,

I am currently awaiting AF which is normally quite perdictable except of course, when it matters, this month! I have made an appointment for next Wednesday for the test as this is the date I reckoned would be Day 2. But I am feeling quite AF-ie at the minute. I am worried that it will ...

Hi Janeya,

just read your posting and I agree that Southampton are not very flexible. I tried to get some appointments for blood tests and then would only do certain ones at certain times which would mean going back and forth just to get blood taken. I just hope we can all manage to fit in next ...

Hi Tania,

I remember my first time I really felt that I didn't know anything but in a way that was probably better than this time cos I know what the outcome of each step should be. I will probably try and analyse every little tweak that I think my body is feeling. Anyway, the best advice is relax ...

Hi All,

Good to hear from some new ACB and always a pleasure to hear from the existing ACB.

I am having a very odd time at the moment. You may remember from last week's posting that I reported that my endo had completely disappeared well this weekend I find out that my thyroid gland, which has ...

LindaJane,

you are on exactly the same time scales as me - AF due 30/31 March and start on 18/19 April. So welcome on board!

So here come the ACB then.

Traci, to answer your question AF is due around 31st March so Downregging 19 days after that.

Hang on in their girls, we are going to make April the most successful month IVF records have ever experienced

Brill news Trace, you must be so excited. I am almost ill with excitement (not sure the word to describe the emotion - but I know you all know what I mean!) and I only managed to get told that my problems have only been reduced by one third!

Anyway, it sounds like Trace and Caz are steaming ahead ...
