Treatment on NHS

Just wondering if anyone who has gone down the NHS route with IVF and has had probs ringing up for treatment. My story is i'm 36 waiting 3 well nearly 4 years on this list,my tubes are blocked and have cysts on my ovaries, ive had some health probs in the spring this year when we should of started but i was put back while i got stronger, anyway i got my period yesterday, was told to ring the clinic and they informed me that they couldnt accept me for treatment and when i get my period next month to ring in again, only my period is not normall and i can go every 6 wks which will take me into jan, i am so upset about this and havent taken it very well, i was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem, does anyone know how it works, do they only have so many places and is it like ringing the dr's 1st come 1st serve. I just think, all it tells me is that the NHS has a lot to answer for, not informing us with the right info, its not as if i can go private, because of a health prob they wont treat me, not that i have the cash. Sorry for ramblin, but i'm gona call back and ask them to explain it to me as i feel like i'm getting the short straw All the best to everyone Nicky xx

Hi Nicky Not much help but thought Id let you know my clinic only takes on so many cycles at a time and say they cannot guarantee you can start when you want-and this is PRIVATE (we are not eligible for NHS where we live so am now very skint!) Its so unfair but on the +ve side if they took on everybody all the time they would not cope and the quality of care would drop...... Have not helped you at all but just wanted you to know you are not alone. Good luck Sarah xx

nicky, thats AWFUL youve been waiting so long for af to arrive let alone your place in the bloody nhs Q....HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO YOU. it makes so MAD! with everything youve had to go through in the past and then when you were poorly earlier in the year, its enough to make you more unwell with the stress, and you for one DO NOT need added stress. have you beeen able to speak to your parents? I hope you get something out of the hospital when you ring, let me know, thinking of you lots of love kathryn x

just read sarahs note, which is probably very true with regards to qulity of care, but they should have explained this to you nicky, if this is the case. sorry , I had a bit of a rant, but it makes me cross!

Hi Kathryn & Sarah Thank you both for your reply's it does help because ive managed to look at it in a different way, even though i'm still so mad, i just hope that next month is my month (early christmas pressie). Anyway my BP has come down so maybe its for the best that i get that under control, i also understand that we are lucky to get this on NHS,but it would be nice if once a while they would be honest with you every step of the way. Hope you are OK Kathryn, did you get my e-mail xx Love to all Nicky
