Feeling blue at the moment....

[robbie03]

After a few weeks of feeling stronger and knowing IVF is the next step, the waiting is becoming too much. These repeat tests on my DH are required before the referral. I'd rather just get on with it now....should have results next week, and then am allowed to call consultant rather than wait for next appointment which is august! Feel in limbo for the moment!

Plus totally flat out at work and tired which is probably not contributing well to how I feel! Anyone else in the same situation? Xx

Hey I'm in a similar situation I'm waiting to see my consultant following an opp - the appointment is anytime in the next 3 months! That's when we find out next steps etc. It's so so frustrating just constantly waiting. Everything takes so long. Just got to keep reminding ourselves at least we are on track, we now have next steps and focus on bits we can control like diet etc xx

Do u not have a date yet then? I feel like I've waited long enough in one way, but of course that it's on the right track when then appointment is confirmed....xx

I know exactly how you feel... we had first fertility appointment in January. All the tests Feb then next appointment letter came with July. I have managed to get a cancellation in June but it has been horrible waiting. You feel a little bit helpless. Just wanted to let you know your not alone! X

No I've had a lap and something else but am now waiting to go to my consultant to discuss next steps but after the opp I got told my next step was IVF. I have been ttc for 4/5 years and out of that had to wait a year for the lap operation xx

Wow you are amazing...that's such a wait! Well done for being so strong and I hope your next step starts very soon for you! Xx

Hey I'm in a similar situation just been referred for ivf on Tuesday and been told I have to wait for a letter to tell me when my appointment is. The letter can take up to 3 months to come. Then god knows what the date of the appointment will be. I feel completely in limbo. At least if they told me when my appointment was I'd have something to aim towards but at the moment all I have to aim towards is a letter arriving within 3 months!!! But at least we are on our way and it'll be worth it when we have our little ones in our arms for the first time 😀 Xxx

The waiting is so hard! I'll be the same, you must be just ahead of me! Keep in touch and I wish you all the best and as much patience as we can manage xxx
