Newcastle support

[Blondie_81]

Just wondered if anyone on here was from the Newcastle/tyne and wear/north east area and fancied meeting up somewhere central to support each other as know just being with others who are on same or similar journeys with infertility can be so helpful. Xx

Hi Blondie_81. Do have a look at our website fertilitynetworkuk.org as we have a list of support groups on there in the UK. Diane

Hi Diane, I’ve looked and unfortunately there are none in the north east. Thanks though.

I'm in Durham! When/where would you like to meet?

Hi, I’m having treatment at centre for life. Have you had experience of centre for life? I’m wondering how the QE compares? X

[Blondie_81 in reply to gemmy999]

Hi, yes I’m currently under CFL too - think the QE is meant to be a bit better - my acupuncturist recommended them as they have the embryo time lapse technology but it was too late we’d already started with CFL. Am looking at seeking a second opinion elsewhere now x

Hi, thanks for your reply. IF we need a third cycle I think we will look at having it as the QE. I’ve not heard of the time lapse technology but I’ll have a read about it. What stage are you up to? I’m week two of down regulating. It’s going so slow! X

[Blondie_81 in reply to gemmy999]

The time lapse thing is called embryo scope. It’s so hard the down regulating I used to get night sweats and spotting but good luck!! x

Hi I have just found your post from 4 months ago, I would love to meet if you are still up for it? I live in Newcastle and I will probably start IVF at NFC in January. xx
