We are on hold because of bloody Coronovirus 😭

I’m so sad! I feel like this is a never ending challenge no matter how much you’ve been through, there is more.

Had an appointment this morning and we’ve been told due to Coronavirus we are not able to do any transfer and they don’t know when we can carry on with the process! Honestly I can’t take this any more, I know I’m being very childish but I’ve been waiting so much for this to happen and now we don’t know when!!! I’m fed up!! I can’t stop crying 😭

It must be so frustrating. It's like life is on hold for we don't know how long. It's ok to have a little moan, it helps you deal with it xxx

Sorry to here this is it nhs or private ? I have a feeling my hospital will do the same :( x

I’m so sorry to hear this. You’ve got every right to feel upset not at all childish. I hope it’s not too long for you to wait xxx

Hi Mara, hang on in there. I'm in the same waiting game as you, just even earlier in the process. We were supposed to start our first IVF cycle now, it got cancelled because of too high Day2 estradiol. Ok, disappointing, but what can you do. Next month then, I thought. Just got a call from the clinic that they provisionally plan not to start any IVF cycles next month either (because of the frickin' corona) So even getting the eggies is postponed by at least 2 months now. Putting life on hold in the hope the IVF will happen continues. I never thought we would need IVF, then dreaded it; now that I am ready for it, it cannot happen. So in two months again cancelling work trips and important meetings because it might happen! Not being able to promise family and friends that we will visit (we live away from our home countries) over the weekend because it may fall in the wrong time in the cycle. Cancelling any plans only to find out that the reason why we cancel them, has been cancelled. Thanks for allowing me my sad rant. I send solidarity and hugs!

I’ve just had a call from my London private clinic to confirm they are delaying all treatment too. They just don’t know enough about the disease unfortunately. I am devastated 🥺☹️😭

Guys & St Thomas. Apparently I’ll be top of the list when they start up again. Whenever that may be! Worried cos my AMH is low as it is, this waiting could be the difference between it working and not working 😭 xx

I am at UCLH on the NHS so not far from you. Waited five months from my last failed cycle for this transfer and been doing bloody ivf for 3 years. I am almost done with down regulation so will be very upset to have taken all this shit for nothing. Gaaahh. And I have had both Fallopian tubes out so trying naturally isn’t an option either. My heart breaks for us all. Xxxx

Megandmog in reply to recidwen

So sorry to hear this. As if ivf isn’t a stressful and hard time as it is!! Let me know if you do get a call to say it’s cancelled. They may have cancelled mine cos I haven’t started yet. I too have no Fallopian tubes and I have DOR so I feel like I’m up shit creek without a paddle!! xx

It's gutting isn't it to be looking forward to something only to get it taken away at the last minute!

Its been really hard and now that we are going ahead with the transfer, I'm so hopeless and waiting every second for something going wrong....

I know it's serious and people are dying but it's hard not to get upset. I had to come home from work early I was too emotional in work to stay and have given myself a stress headache. I'm 39 and it had taken so long to get to this point only for it to be cancelled at last hurdle 😪. Who knows how many months this could trundle on for (for our sakes and the sake of anyone who gets it I hope they can cut it off quickly) x

So so sorry to hear this, Mara. 😢 Really feel for you. The waiting is one of the worst parts about this journey generally and completely sh*t that coronavirus has taken away this cycle's transfer for you. You are 100% not being childish. I know this won't seem like much of a silver lining right now as you are in limbo once again and don't know when you'll be allowed to start up again, but at least at least at least you got to egg collection and you will have those 6 beautiful blasts ready for you when you're allowed them. Oh god, can you imagine if they'd cancelled a few days or a week before EC when you'd been doing all those injections and everything! That would be horrendous. Really thinking of you and please don't be offended by my "at least you...." although please feel free to tell me if it's in bad taste! x

in reply to ttcemmie

That's the thing say if things had gone ahead and then stopped when you get your hopes up I find it hurts a lot worse than not starting at all!

Mara84 in reply to CocoSelena

aw you are so sweet to think of me, we have started the frozen transfer cycle, and I'm waiting for scan day 3 and starting Oestrogen so I think transfer will happen in 2 weeks time, But I'm so negative this round.... how are you feeling? I'm very happy for you ❤️

CocoSelena in reply to Mara84

Well I am excited for you! I know it’s super hard to be hopeful each time. I understand completely. Are you using your own eggs or donor eggs?

Mara84 profile image
Mara84 in reply to CocoSelena

my own egg, we have no problem with egg quality... well for now.. but god knows...

CocoSelena profile image
CocoSelena in reply to Mara84

That’s great. Keep me posted when the transfer happens! Just know that once that little baby is inside your belly the miracle will begin! Sit back and enjoy the ride! One of my friends who has a 1 year old says her only regret was that she didn’t give herself a chance to enjoy the pregnancy bc she had had multiple miscarriages prior. This last one was my 3rd, so I aim for the next transfer to enjoy it even though we have no control over the outcome. 💙❤️💜

Best of luck with your transfer!

no it's not childish as its extremely frustrating when you want something so badly and it keeps getting put off and there's not a thing you can do about it!
