Follow up appointment after 1st round failure

Hello

What, if any, appointments did you have at the hospital once you knew your ivf round had failed? We are feeling a little let down as it feels as though the hospital have dropped us since our bad news. After my first blood test coming back with a HCG reading of between 5-50 and being told the pregnancy won't be viable by a nurse on the phone we had to go up for a repeat blood test on Monday to confirm by levels were now below 5. The nurse called at 2pm that day to confirm I wasn't pregnant (which was obvious as I told them I had a 4 day period) and I'll get a letter confirming I'm on the list for a May fet and to phone up with my May period.

I just feel a bit miffed - not once have I been asked if I want to proceed, no one has explained to me the protocol for a fet, let alone the hospital asking if I can afford the next stage of treatment.

I'll wait and see what the letter says but am I right in feeling a little annoyed that no follow up/future plan has actually been discussed with me properly?!

Hey I’ve just had a chemical pregnancy and the clinic am at said just ring when your ready for a follow on appointment and then we can talk about fet. I would be annoyed if they just left me without a follow appointment or a future plan can’t you ring and ask see what they say xx

Thank you, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being unreasonable before getting grumpy! xxx

No definitely not you need to know what happening (I don’t know how fet works) and obviously the price they can’t just expect us to go to our money tree 🤪 hope you get it sorted soon 😬 xx

Hi LauraM1986. Oh dear! I would give the clinic a ring and ask if you could speak/see someone before your May period as you need everything explained properly before you go ahead, plus costs etc. If you're having to pay for the FET I do have a list of questions I could send you in confidence if you want. Email me at [e-mail] and I will send them. Hope all is soon sorted and understood. Diane
