So the belfast regional fertility clinic has just postponed current cycles. Women told today to discontinue stimulating.
I'm at a private clinic nearby but wondering if it will soon follow suit. I'm currently on meds for a FET.
Heartbreaking for these women who have already had cycles cancelled and creates unsurity for others.
Any cycles being cancelled elsewhere?
Oh that’s so sad! Is it a private or NHS clinic?x
It's an NHS clinic that has cancelled. Im in a private clinic. But it's the same doctors that work both clinics x
I’m no expert but private patients are paying huge amounts of money for drugs and treatments so I think private clinics would stay open and functional as long as possible but of the implications of having to refund.
I really don’t believe the country will go into lockdown so I wouldn’t expect them to close at all but I know it must be a worry for you. Hope you can still go ahead!x
Thank you hope this is the case for sure xo
Our consultant told us today that he will be in the a&e within 2 weeks performing emergency medicine
Yeah highly possible.. Of course I get that takes priority but still a sad situation for all involved x
Rfc is an nhs clinic with private patients/treatments aswell. The private patients there will b paying big money aswell so chances are if they are cancelled the GCRM could follow suit 😢
Oh yeah I forgot they had private patients too! 😔
Iv had all my private treatments there but as u say alot of the consultants are the same so its quite worrying.
Hope u get to still go ahead, Fet might b diff, fingers crossed x
Thank you.. I've an appt on monday so I guess I'll find out more then xo
I was due to start my injections at the end of the month but had a phone call to say they are cancelling all treatments at the moment due to the coronoviris🤮🥺😢 I'm from Wales x
I'm so sorry to hear that.. Must be so disappointing 😔 x
Which clinic are you at? I'm with CRGW and due to start down regulation next week but so worried they will cancel
It's NHS Neath Claire , so touch wood private clinics are still going ahead x
I’m with them too. There was no mention when I was there yesterday
I have just finished my Norethisterone and waiting for period to call CRGW to start short protocal injections. I am just keeping an eye on their website and praying when I call to book scan it's ok. This is my first private cycle after two NHS and the thought of loosing money is adding to the stress. Would be totally gutting to try save up again. Fingers crossed everyone!
Everything crossed for you x
Same with us. I'm totally gutted after waiting so long then getting exited to start. Sending lots of love. 💜
So sorry 💕 x
I have only just had my consent app at the same clinic and they have just ordered my drugs. She said that if anything was to progress they will advise me and their refund policy applies. The drugs are ok for 6 months. I think because we are at least 4 weeks behind in terms of this virus it will be a few more weeks before anything is decided. The NHS have to be cautious due to the volume of patients in and out. I am a school teacher also and we have been advised to prepare for remote learning but again this is just a precaution at this stage.
I’m just hoping that it won’t get to a stage where we have treatment cancelled. It’s so sad that they have had their treatment cancelled and have to go though that again. Just praying it will all work out xoxo
Take care xx
Thank you very much for the info and best of luck to you xo
You too .... I think as long as we stay informed and ask them it’ll be ok.
Advice at the moment is we are 10-14 weeks from the peak; well I’m just praying.
Good luck ❤️🥰
I was told yesterday by NHS that everything still going as normal (at the moment) but I decided to put on hold. I dont want to be ill then have egg collection or my partner. Hopefully in a few months can start again 😞 my doctors are bound to cancel everything in the next week anyway. It's sad but understandable too xxx ♥️
Sorry to hear that Littlepeax 😔 I do think you've made a very sensible decision though! The likelihood of cancellation is very high plus like you say you want you and your partner to be healthy as possible. We will know lots more in a few months time xxxx
Thanks hun and yes exactly 🤗 it will work out for the best and NHS need to prioritise ♥️
For now I will enjoy a nice glass of red (this evening lol) xxx
Hope you & bun in the oven are all good 💫🥰
Sorry you've had to make they decision but totally understand it.. Hopefully it won't delay things too long x
Yeah fingers crossed ♥️ I cant see private clinic's being effected at the moment. Maybe in the next few weeks. Whens your FET? X
Scan on Monday and I expect transfer around the 25th roughly x
I'm attending rfc I'm in the middle of down reg and I'm still going ahead with treatment no one has contacted or confirmed to stop I'm freaking out now 😰
Aw im sorry to scare you! Give them a ring maybe? The info I saw yesterday said that 33 women arriving at their appt on Thursday were told to discontinue their stims. It was on a reputable newspaper too. But maybe they've cancelled some not all? And prehaps depends if your NHS or private?
Keep us posted I really hope you get to continue x
Yes I really hope so too I think they may prioritise... if patients have started treatment it's a bit harsh for them to stop treatment northern ireland is a low risk atm
Yeah I'm really surprised they cancelled people on stims tbh xo
Yes definitely is harsh and to soon to cancel treatment it is awful state of panic with a low risk.... Hope things go well for you ❤️
This is super sad news for you to take. I know yours and all our thoughts are with priorities like emergencies but it’s your hopes and dreams and so much of our lives are invested in the cycles emotionally physically as you say not to mention finically.
I really hope this can be resolved. Thinking of you all xxxx
Thank you... Hoping for the best and thinking of those who have already had cycles cancelled x
