Another setback

So gutted I rang the clinic today and they said due to coronavirus they aren’t starting any new cycles 😭 I know there are bigger problems but I just feel like my life is on hold and my dream of being a Mum is getting further and further away. I know lots are in the same boat and my heart goes out to everyone.

Trying to look on the positive side I’m telling myself my body will have a break from hormones and if it didn’t work and I was stuck at home it would be really difficult for my mental health. On the flip side of it did work I think it would be an even more anxious time to be pregnant. I’m just hoping it passes quickly and we can get through to the other side xx

I've just heard the same. Having been encouraged by the clinic this morning to crack on ASAP with the next round (Still bleeding from failure of last one!!) they are now saying they won't take on any more people and are cancelling FETs left right and centre (mine would have been a fresh cycle).

I am trying to think positive and think with pubs & restaurants closed I won't be going out so won't be tempted to drink, and it gives a couple more months of supplements to try and make an impact on my eggs. But that PMA disappears within minutes and I just think I am going to be months older and my chances are getting smaller and smaller by the week. arghhhh.

Hugs lovely xx

So sorry to hear yours is also cancelled. Well done for thinking positively but I know what you mean one minute I’m ok with it and then I’m panicking what if it takes a year to sort this out!! I’m trying to take a day at a time but not exactly easy xx

I just hope they don’t liken it to Zikka virus and think it’s not ok to do treatment to get people pregnant xx

I'm so sorry Core and Cinders and Daisy and Clairenix, and anyone in this situation. When you constantly live in limbo anyway with IVF, it's even worse if anything influences things in tip of that.

My thoughts are with you all and I hope things settle down enough soon for you all to crack on. Huge hugs xxx❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much lovely xx

in reply to Tryagain45

Thankyou lovely, my consultant emailed me yesterday to suggest a couple of additional's for next time,embryo glue, scratch and doing the deed 6 days before FET :-) so will look into those and will give me something to concentrate on.

How are you doing? Xxx

in reply to

That’s interesting! Why dtd did he say?

My clinic used a different embryo glue called embryogen last time which is supposed to be very good but it’s about £450 extra xx

in reply to

This will be our 6th transfer and I've had a mmc and 2 chemicals, we have tweeted my protocols by having clexane,predisinone and intralipids so I just asked him what else we could do differently this time. Im also having accupuncture and have spoken with a nutritionist so changing my diet and added in lots of supplements as I have immune issues so throwing everything into this one xx

Haha ‘doing the deed 6 days before FET’ that’s a new one! What was the evidence there? Sure DH will be pleased to hear that 😂 I’m ok just hoping the world gets back to normal soon xx

in reply to Core

It was a new one on me too,something to do endometrium priming, the contact of the ejaculate with the endometrium, don't think I will be using those exact words with the oh hahaha xx

Such a difficult time on top of all we have to go through with infertility. Hang in there, we can support each other whilst we wait for our treatments to restart. It is so hard to wait though xx

I am so sorry, my heart goes out to you, it's so devastating all these cycles getting cancelled. I am meant to be starting on Sunday but they havent told me either way as yet. When do you think you'll be able to go again? Did they give you any idea? Xx

Core profile image
Core in reply to Italy300618

Did you find out about yours? They don’t really know but realistically a few months yet xx

Italy300618 in reply to Core

Weve decided not to go ahead with treatment starting Sunday. Incredibly difficult decision 💔 but the nurse said today that they would only be doing freeze all cycles, (we never have anything to freeze) and mild stimulation to prevent ohss (well I need max dosage because of amh) so all in all it is not worth the money and emotional stress. What a week it's been. Its devastating. At least we are all there for each other to support one another. Hopefully a few months, but feels like forever away 😥

Hope you're ok lovely xx
