Been on 3 yr waiting list, well it will be nearly 4 yrs by the time i start. getting very very nervous now just wana get going. Good luck to all Nicky xx

Hi Nicky Sorry I'can't help you about St Mary's, but just wanted to wish you goodluck with your treatment. I'm on my first cycle of ICSI after a two year wait on the NHS. I have my baseline scan on Thursday hoping for EC end of Oct. This site is full of understanding people whatever you need to know someone always seems to have the answer. Vicki B X

Hi Nicky, Wellcome to the rollercoaster and wonderful world of ivf !! I'm currently on my 2nd week of the dreaded 2WW i test on the 20th but ive had my tmt at st marys and they are wonderful really helpful. I know you've had a long wait but they do say that good things come to those who wait, so i hope you are one of they lucky ones who it works for first time +++ !! my tmt has been a two hospitals treatments i had all my consultations, blood est etc done at Billinge in Wigan but my EC's and ET's were done at St marys !! The FET ive just had done was by a Doctor Lieberman he was fantastic a really nice chap and he put me at ease and made me feel very ++tive. I dont know if you're going to get him but all the best for your tmt !! Soz i'm rambling but i can blame it on all the hormones at the minute cant i !! Dont know if ive been any help or not but you'll be fine. Everyone on here is so lovely any questions you'll have somebody will be able to help you. Best of luck Alisonb xx

Thanks Vicky and alison for you reply's and support. I hope your both doing OK, I can only check this when i'm at work, which is only part time and in the evening. Alison i hope and pray you have wonderful news tomorrow, i will be looking out for you when i come in work. good luck and keep positive. Vicky sorry to be asking this, but what stage are you at, have you actually started your treatment? I am getting to the point where am starting to talk myself out of it, i'm so scared of it all, side effects just everything, i have had a kidney transplant, so as you can imagine i'm worried about that, i think i will be OK once i get started, i know i'm gona begin with a low dose and when and if i get that far they are only putting 1 back. Hope to be in contact with you soon Good luck alison +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Nicky xxx
