Hi everyone,
Just wanted to vent my frustration
I had a failed FET back in Sept and decided to not do a cycle before xmas but to start in the New Year,
The clinic I go to has shut down and relocated but the builders keep delaying and until the clinic has been given the green light by HEFA, health & safety etc they cannot do any tmts.....
Last update was that they would be booking day 19 appts if AF arrives 26/01 or after, mine is due approx then so just phoned to find out if that was still the case and have been told builders have delayed again so looking like no day 19s being booked unless AF arrives mid Feb........
The lady at hospital was very apologetic and understanding but I am just at my wits end now. This will be my 3rd AF that I have been looking forwards to starting tmt and its driving me crazy..........
I will be 35 next birthday(nov) and if FET does not work so want to do fresh cycle before that milestone.......
Anyway, enough rambling from me just feeling so deflated as everyone I cycled with in Sept is either 5 mths pregnant(Im really happy for you) or starting another cycle........Its not fair........
Gosh, i must sound like a child throwing a tantrum....
Take care all and good luck to those cycling at the mo

TOTALLY P****D OFF........
Hi Sarah
I am so sorry that your clinic are still messing you around. I expect the builders have no clue about what their delays are doing to you and anyone else awaiting treatment. I can feel your frustration.
You are entitled to have a tantrum and this is the place to do it. I hope the clinic will give you some compensation for all the waiting you have had to do.
Don't panic too much about your age. I had my treatment just after I was 35 and as you know it worked for me(3rd time). So I wish you lots and lots of luck and will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Take care
Love Dagny x

Hi Sarah
This must be so frustrating for you. We all must be the only people who look forward to the time of the month hoping that this will be it.
Don,t bottle all that frustration up your quite right to have a rant that what we are all here for.
Dagny is right they should compensate you for all the waiting around you have had to do.

Hi Sarah,
Just to let you know you are not the only one from September waiting to cycle.
I don't see my consultant until 27/01/04. so the earliest I can cycle is in Feb, which realistically meant ET in March - which is, as DH pointed out last night is 6 months since the last cycle.
Chin up - at least you will be cycling with one old pal!!

hi Sarah
I'm sorry you are having such a sh!tty time. Could you not do another cycle at a different clinic? Probably difficult as its not fresh and they are holding your embies.
The waiting is hard, but I'm convinced it does your body good to have time off in between cycles. I had to wait six months before my last tmt because of the waiting lists at my hospital.
I think about you and the others from our SCB gang - Karen, July Ann, Kat & Co a lot and wish you lots of luck with your next tmts.
I'm sending you and the others a big hug!!

hi sarah
sorry to hear your new's. I think it could be fate as I will not start tmt until feb so we can cycle together. I have just had a scan with the dye and have got the all clear. The doctor said every thing looked great. So pleased as another hurdle is over. I could have di next week but as I have been messed about and have had some blood showing I'm going to wait.
THe waiting is bad but you must take it one day at a time.
hope you are ok nikola and it nice that you are still keeping an eye on us all. We will need your support next month.
take care

I am so sorry to hear you were delayed again , just think of it as extra detox time after christmas and its ment to be , the trouble is we get ourselves all siked up for it and to be squashed on the floor again is painfull , use the next month to really get your body ready .
crossing fingers for you for Feb

Thanks guys,
My dh keeps telling me to not to build my hopes up and to imagaine we cant start for 3 mths, he says that way if next mth they say we can start it will be a bonus(easier said than done as I always like to plan things in advance-patience levels-zero)
Anyway, I have decided to join a local health club with my friend, you are only tied in for 6 mths and they said you can cancel at anytime if there is a medical reason. I keep putting off joinng a gym because of the IVF but last night decided not to put my life on hold anymore and to carry on as normal(can anyone tell me what normal is?)
I plan on going twice a week after work and friday evenings with my friend for a pamper, sauna etc.etc. Hopefully it will take my mind of things and give me something to focus on and maybe get me a bit fitter before next tmt.
July Ann-OMG what a nightmare!(only joking) you and I cycling together ....Nikola-you will have your work cut out trying to keep me +ve and July Ann away from those hpts.......... I was thinking about you yesterday Nikola as I was stuffing my face with Percy Pigs!
My friend has just come off the pill but she is not worried about having kids one way or the other so I just know she will probably get pg straight away! Dont get me wrong I will be really pleased for her but why is it easy for people not that bothered and for us that so want children it is not........
Anyway, am starting to ramble,
Thanks for all your support
Take care

Hi Sarah & July Ann
I think about you two a lot (and the other SCBs!) and I'm often reading your posts to each other!
Sarah, I'm not sure I should be hurt that you see a pig and think of me! Its probably quite accurate at the moment, because I stuff my face like a pig all day long at the moment. I'm making up for being so sick and unable to eat for the first three months! Perhaps two helpings of Jam Roly Poly is a little excessive though..........
I think joining a gym is a great idea. If for no other reason but to take your mind off things. I don't know if you'll remember but when I did my last tmt I was so convinced it hadn't worked, I'd already rang a different hospital to arrange to transfer and do my next cycle with them. I've still go the CARE brochure on my desk! Sometimes our bodies like to play little tricks on us!
Now if there is a SCB Reunion next month (cos Karen W is cycling too) I shall expect you all to behave! July ann there will be no testing early!!! I shall write to your local branches of M&S and tell them to get extra supplies of percy pigs in ready! (do you know the thought of a percy pig makes me feel sick, I ate so many during the 2ww!!!)
I wish you lots and lots and lots of luck and will be here every second of the way once you start again! Sarah, you have to be the grown up one and keep an eye on Ms July Ann!!!!
love nikola.xx

AF has arrived today so feeling a bit down as was hoping to start tmt.....Oh well......
Trying to stay +ve.
Something Jane said about being Guinea Pigs has made me think it may be better in the long run to wait 1 more month.......As the clinic is brand new I isuppose there will be a few teething problems so could be a good thing not one of the first to start.
All I know is if next month is a no go I will be really mad.....
Take care all

p.s Nikola, if I do start next mth ET will probably be mid April so hope you are still around, when is your due date?

Sarah,
Even if I was in hospital giving birth, rest assured I would be leaving dh strict instructions to check up on you (and july ann) and post messages for me! So don't be worrying that I won't be here - I'm always here!!!
I'm hoping my two won't be arriving that early...our official due date is 2nd June but if I have an elective caesarian it will be mid-may! Plenty of time for me to hold your hand through your tmt and the 2ww AND the 2ww that follows when you wait for your first scan........so don't be worrying!!
You can tell your hospital from me, I'll be bloody mad if they cancel your tmt next month - then they'll be sorry!!!
You take care of yourself.
