Clinic update on re-opening

Hi ladies,

I had a virtual consultation with my clinic this morning and I wanted to share their update, as I know many of us are anxiously awaiting treatment.

I was told that my clinic (private in London) is working towards reopening with contingency plans, which includes social distancing in the clinic and only allowing a certain number of couples through the doors per day. They will also scale-up online consultations.

I was told that clinics are finalising measures so they can open safely, but that obviously it all depends on HFEA guidance.

At the moment, the clinic will prioritise patients who had their cycles cancelled mid-treatment (stims or preparation phase) and they will go first.

They anticipate starting in June/July, but as I am waiting for a FET and they told me the absolute earliest I should expect a call is August, but September might be more likely. That is because patients cancelled mid-cycle will go first.

Obviously all clinics are different, but I hope this small bit of information helps others xx

Thanks Anna. September.... still sounds so far away! Happy that the people that were mid-cycle will be sooner than that though.

[Hidden in reply to ttcemmie]

Exactly...it is the only fair thing to do x

Hi Anna I'm sorry but I don't agree with that being fair. Its different if people who are reaching 40 are being prioritised or people with low ovarian reserve but prioritising people who had their treatment cancelled mid way (as sad and hard as that is) shouldn't be prioritized because they have to start the whole treatment again anyway and do egg collection etc, they'd potentially get a transfer before people who are waiting for FET. Makes sense to start those people first as it's just a transfer that needs to be done. Sorry, rant over.

[Hidden in reply to AP86]

Absolutely...I completely agree with you too.

Unfortunately I am not the one making these rules!
