TTC for 12 months +

Hi ladies. Hope everyone is keeping warm out there... not the nicest day at all in Auckland! Well it would be nicer if you were able to stay tucked up at home with a fire on LOL

Auntie, nope I haven't been able to keep myself distracted till my appointment on Wednesday. Which makes the time go waaaay slower LOL Oh well, at least it's now only 2 days away. If our issue ends up being something that FA should've checked for we will def contest our contract and try get out of there! But again, I'll come to that if needed.
I've been looking up the flush Neil is most likely going to suggest, and have read he likes to do it on CD12 of a cycle (to ensure there is no pregnancy) and if that's like a thing he won't change, then I'll have to wait another cycle before getting it done and then another before back to FET as I'm CD14 today. Grrrrrr. Hopefully it's something he can still work around.

BC that's exciting (well for me LOL maybe a little scary for you) that you're looking at August! Hopefully we'll be cycle buddies in a way

Sweetpea how are you doing? Any sign of AF yet?

A.girl that's great you had a good scan! I hope today's scan goes well too!

Mama P yaye for being PUPO! The wait till bloods is soooo hard and can really mess with your head. Def try find something to distract yourself with other than google LOL when is your blood test?

Mushroom how are you doing? Any news on your lap?

Big hi to everyone else

Faith, I was with Fert Plus for my first cycle and really liked them, there is a booklet they give you that has great explanations, can find it online - go down to the bottom and the download "IVF Treatment Information"

Storm - 2 days! Hopefully you'll have more answer after that. I hate the waiting thing, and trying to stop myself doing the "well, if the cycle is successful I'll be due in.." type thinking.

Sweetpea - how frustrating! But also kind of handy if it gets you over the July threshold.

I am about to ring FA cos I sent a long email last Monday and have not had a reply. Not even a "we will get back to you" reply. So far they are not impressing me with their communication and compassion. Although the last clinic letter did apologise for not being prepared and having read our notes. At least she recognised that was a failing! Am really pissed cos if i were anything else, I would ring them and say I am unhappy with their service and going elsewhere. Unfortunately they're not like a plumber or internet provider so there's not a lot of bloody choice!

Thank you auntie and agirl will check them out!
Auntie hope FA got back to you! How fustrating!
Agirl all the best for egg collection on Wednesday.

No FA letter for me today so Wednesday and Friday are mail days left for us this week so if not here by Friday will call them, starting to think I won't come up on the list til September now which would be disappointing

Agirl, I am Auckland and loved Fert plus. We were placed there for funding but found them really good and cheaper too if we wanted to go private with them. We've now moved to Tauranga so Hamilton is really our only option unless I want to do a lot of travelling and it's not that practical. I rang them and the nurse is away till tomorrow and specialist away till Wednesday so really hoping they get back to me after that.

Faith, I found the funding coordinator is always really friendly and understanding so don't hesitate to call them if you need to know what's happening.

Good luck for EC Agirl!

BC, sorry to hear you having one of those days!

AA, who are you seeing in Hamilton? I am with them too and have found that you need to be pushy with them.

A.girl, yay for the trigger shot tonight. Good luck with the EC on Wednesday!

So my AF finally arrived and has hammered me tonight! Not normally a late afternoon arrival but today is has its own ideas. I will talk to nurse tomorrow and see where we are at. At least I have it now... will keep you all informed!

So have just got back from appointment with nurse and they have decided we can start NOW! So it's day 1 and first injections are tomorrow..... I'm in shock!

That's awesome news Sweetpea!

All the best Kiwi for your decision making and next move!

Thanks ladies!
Kiwi, good luck with the decision making!
AA, we have the same doc. She is a cold fish of a women! I do think she is in the wrong job with her personality but she is meant to be very good at what she does so that's the main thing.
Good luck Storm!

Ha ha ha, so glad you said that sweetpea, though it was just me! She comes across wayyyy better in writing than she does in person. I met Lakshmi for my FET and she came across as warmer but kind of useless and irritating. I don't need a doc to be nice to me, just good as their job as you say!

Good luck A.girl for tomorrow.
AA, not just you. I haven't meet anyone else so can't compare.
