Waiting..

Hi ladies, I'm quite new to the group and find it very helpful in that everyone is in the same boat. I didn't want to post anything negative but I feel like I've gone crazy with it all. we started blood tests about a year ago now. I had my egg collection end of April but they had to freeze them due to high risk of ohss - we were pretty gutted as this meant having to wait another 3 cycles before we can go any further! I have to wait until July to call the hospital and see if we get accepted for medication. Has anyone else had to do this? Calling the hospital is one of the most stressful parts as you can never get through, when you do you have to wait for a call back and then they might not accept you meaning calling back a month later!! its such a long process, it's taken over my life! All I can think about is ivf, what if it doesn't work etc. I feel so sad all the time, I also feel very ungrateful for everything I have, I have a lovely husband, family and friends and all I can focus on is this. Argh! This is definitely one of the bad days 😞

Hi. I had to do the same with a freeze all and a 3 month delay, it was horrible so I understand where you're coming from. Can't comment on the calling for meds acceptance though, I was told as it was still my first cycle everything was included for my first FET. Rest assured though, the delay may be tough but it could still make your dreams come true... Mine did and I am now 19w4d pregnant. Don't give up xx

Aw congratulations that is wonderful! 😊 I think once you've been in for collection you think that's it don't you, then to be told about the delay is so frustrating! We have everything included I think there must be a lot of people waiting, we are at St Mary's Manchester.

Thank you for your comments, it really is reassuring to hear people have been through the same thing, it must make it all the more special when it finally happens xxx

Hi, that sounds so stressful I really feel for you. Try not to punish yourself for feeling sad - ivf is such a difficult thing to go through with so many hurdles along the way. I just wanted to say that the latest research has shown better outcomes with frozen embryos. Will try and find you a link. Our little girl was a frostie, she is now 14 weeks old. Keep going you are doing amazingly and if you feel sad, allow yourself to be. Lots of love xxx

Not sure if that has worked. If you google 'frozen embryos better outcomes' there is a telegraph article xxx
