Oh Aunty I really feel for you. What a complete ****. I don't know what to say. Stand your ground though.
Before we started IVF I contacted quite a few clinics because I'm diabetic and wanted to make sure that wouldn't be a problem at any stage of the treatment. I was told no problems by the clinic we went to.
I started all the tests, nasal sprays etc and the day I was due to start injecting the menopur (they had already sold me it) they told me I couldn't start treatment because my average blood sugar results for the last three months came back at 9.2 and their cut off is 7. I was devastated. For me 9.2 was excellent and I knew there was no way I would have a result of below 7. Had they told me this before we started treatment I would have known now was not the time.
To say I went ballistic is an understatement. I demanded a refund of everything I had paid to date. This got their attention and they agreed to continue with treatment. My blood sugars are now 6.4.
What I'm trying to say is create, you have your hormones on your side at the moment. No one is comfortable around a hysterical woman! I don't see how they can refuse for you to delay your treatment until November. It's not as if you've said you want to cancel it and go elsewhere!
Stick to what you and DH believe in. Take it easy and I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Aunty,
Haven't been on lately but saw your post. I agree with all the other ladies. Stick with what you and DH thinks is for the best. At the end of the day all the choices are yours to make.
Praying for the best for you both!

Aunty, I am so disgusted with these clinics. They are so worried about their success rates that they forget about their patients. I agree that you need to stick with what you want to do and try to compel the RE to your decision.
I'm with ya!

Hi ladys you are all so wonderful...
im back from the Dr's office....here is where we stand..they blank refused to do anything without the scan so i had that done today...im now bleeding both blood and saline..(sorry if tmi)...and they said after doing the scan (clear by the way) that they strongly recomend we dont continue with this cycle as its not the ideal enviroment for embies now...Great hey...i have to wait till tomorrow and find out if we restart the next AF will my ins count that as an attempt or not i also asked them to supply all the meds we used so far they said no
i was very blessed to get three attempts on INS actualy its the only way we would ever have been able to get it done this was my final go at making my family and im devestated ...another sleepless night now to find out where we stand..
thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers

Aunty,
I am so very sorry that this happened to you. I can't believe these clinics they are supposed to be there to make things go easier for you not make things harder. You just have to have faith that everything happens for a reason. I wish I knew what to say to help you feel better but the only thing I can say is how sorry I am and that I am praying that the next month flies by for you and your next cycle results in a BFP!
All my best,
Nance

Hiya hun.
I'm really sorry you've had to suffer this! As if IVF isn't bloody stressful enough!!
There is a bit of a hoo haa back home at the moment. One of the major IVF clinic groups (Care) have now decided that they are no longer going to offer EC or ET on a saturday or a sunday.
With regards to FET's, instead of offering natural FETs, they are now only going to offer medicated FETs. This is so they can manipulate the cycle so they don't have to do ET on a weekend!! If patients "insist" on a natural FET and the ET day falls on a saturday or sunday, the cycle will be cancelled with no compensation to the patient!!
I think shear annoyance with the clinics is a global thing!!
I'm wishing you all the luck in the world hun.
Lots of love, Corinna xx

Hey Aunty,
I was away most of the weekend and I am just now reading all this. I can't believe it.
I am so sorry! You're in my prayers. What are those doctors thinking?? Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day with some answers about when you can restart.
take care!

Aunty,
YOU DEMAND TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER OF THE CLINIC, THEY ARE THE DOCTORS AND IF THEY FORGOT TO DO A TEST THEN IT IS ON THEIR SHOULDERS. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. YOU TELL THEM YOU WILL CONTACT THE NEWS MEDIA AND WHATEVER ELSE IS GOING TO GET THEIR ATTENTION. AS FOR YOUR MEDS, I HAVE GONAL F LEFT OVER FROM THE LAST CYCLE. 2 PENS FULL. IF YOU WANT THEM THEY ARE YOURS.
I AM SORRY YOU ARE GOING THROUGH THIS.
DO NOT GIVE IN, THEY SCRFEWED UP AND NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY. THEY ARE CANCELLING THE CYCLE THEY PAY.
BULLSHIT........
WHAT CLINIC ARE YOU AT?

Aunty,
I am so sorry this has happened. I work with doctors everyday and I see so much callousness and disregard for patients. It really is just a business to many of them.
I also have some drugs left over. 600U of Follistim and 7 vials of Menopur. If you are taking either of these meds, just let me know and I'll send them to you.

Aunty, I am so so sorry... I can't believe they are refusing to help you out. That is clearly their damn fault! Lisa is right, I would contact the owner or office manager and tell him/her exactly what you feel about their practice.
I also have Gonal F 300 IU unopened. I will gladly send it to you. Please hang in there !
