Treatment postponed

So just read an update on our clinics website that they are postponing all transfers fresh and frozen until the coronavirus situation calms down. Who knows how long!! 😩 we were due to begin beginning of April. Starting treatment was the only thing keeping me positive and motivated after we lost our son in December. Really hope this all blows over soon. Anyone else had treatment postponed? x

I’m so sorry, that’s really crappy and I feel for you, it’s just such awful timing all of this.

They are postponing everything at the earliest possible stage as far as I can make out. I was supposed to go through the full process with a donor but the second part has been postponed now and I’m just hopefully getting to egg collection. It’s not ideal and yesterday was devastated because it just means more time waiting for me, but I know other people are in more difficult situations.

It’s the emotional strain which is worse with all of this I think, so I’m gutted for you that you aren’t able to start. Hang in there, it’ll happen x

Yeah our clinic is doing the same. If people have already started Stims they will proceed to egg collection then freeze all. I just pray this doesn’t go on for months on end x

Hi. I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’ve been awake all night worrying about it. I read the update on my clinics website, and they’ve cancelled all fresh and frozen transfers too. I was due to start medication in a week. It’s a horrible feeling. I hope we can all start again soon xx

Oh I'm so sorry to hear Dotty. I checked my clinics website this morning and they have not updated their guidance from last week it seems so as of now, things will still go ahead but it could be just a matter of time.

So so sorry that this has happened. It must feel like another obstacle but dont forget how strong and resilient you are - you will overcome this and get to your goal soon. Keeping everything crossed for you! Xx

Yes our treatment has been postponed. I am due to have eggs collected this week but have been told they will now freeze all the embryos. Being an older Mum this concerns me as the likelihood of it being successful reduces all the time. No one knows how long this will last. So hard & disappointing. Feeling low now too as want to be pregnant sooner rather than later.

Best wishes for everyone who is having treatment postponed. Xx

It’s just crap indeed. Everything at my local hospital has been cancelled except cancer treatment ...... this knowledge helped me to calm a wee bit. I wish a lot of things these days but I’d never wish for that . Hope you can find a way to enjoy the space from the crazy world and hope that they can scientifically sort the ivf situation out ASAP . It’s not like they’ve told the world to stop making babies 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
