Waiting for NHS Referral to be accepted!

[PurpleLove19]

Anyone else had to wait a long time for the CCG is it? to approve NHS funding?

I spoke to the receptionist at my GP yesterday to check my Doctor had filled in the forms before cashing up the clinic and she said that there’s a waiting list, they have been filled in with as much detail as possible to get accepted and il only hear off them if it’s been rejected. I asked what do I do now just wait and she said it can take a while and to ring back in a couple of weeks to check if anything has come back!

The clinic never told us this, my doctor hadn’t even done it this way before.

I can’t believe it.

Following my last post about one of my bosses being concerned about me I did have a good end to the week at work and a lovely weekend despite it being Father’s Day and my husband was a little low.

Yesterday my other boss verbally attacked me to say “ I didn’t look happy enough today!” With working with children I need to be!

I went straight into to defence mode and now I’m anxious about going in today, what will be said to me today and how can I be happy when I am not!

I am doing my best.

I said that it was her opinion and that I was okay but it was the way she said it, so cold and thoughtless.

I feel as if now they want me to go off sick or even worse leave.

I’ve only got 5 weeks left until summer and I’m hanging on by a thread but I just hope they leave me alone and stop badgering me and telling me how I should “look”.

My husband is concerned about me having time off and so am I. I said the only reason I go in is so those kids have a teacher and so my reports and data get done, I certainly don’t go in for my own mental health. I’m trying keep looking at the long road ahead as if we have treatment this side of Christmas then there’s got to be some days off for that plus if it doesn’t work first time then il be devastated and I will need some time away.

People at work have said that if I went off now it’s for “work stress” as before it was “domestic stress”. But I still don’t want to give in and become weak. When you go off you feel like you can’t leave your four walls and avoid society.

Anyone else in the same boat as me or been there?

Hiya, we were referred by drs 7th may then a few weeks later we spoke to the fertility clinic who then booked us in for baseline scan and dr consultation and nurse consultation a few weeks later (which is this week). We never heard from ccg or got involved in that part. our local fertility dr specified what clinic we wanted to go to, I think some hear from ccg if they need to find out what clinic you'd prefer. sorry to hear about work, hope it gets better soon and the next 5 weeks come soon. you may have appts booked in then so nice to finish work and then hopefully have time to focus on that. equally there's nothing wrong at all with going off sick if that's what you need and is best for you. big hugs xx
