Hello, hope you’re all well. In 4 weeks I start my third transfer. I’m getting such anxiety with Covid infections rising In my area (Oxford) and panicking about treatments being banned or halted again (I mean I need a reason to give me a sleepless night after all!)
Anyone else worried about this or heard anything from their clinic?
Hiya, It's hard not to be in an affected area right now ☹️. I work for central NHS and the winter campaign and messaging is basically for all medical services to keep going, to cut through the covid backlogs. Of course HFEA put out the guidelines for fertility clinics, but I've not heard that they are planning a recommended shut down. Fingers crossed. Still a lot of backlog to get through. Not sure what private waiting lists are like right now? x
Good luck with the transfer xx
Hi. I agree with orangeflowers. I work in the NHS in the north west (one of the highest rates of infection!). Our hospital numbers have doubled in 4 days but my hospital is not yet looking at stopping any services.
🤞🏻you get to your transfer. Good luck x
Thanks ladies! This whole situation is a minefield. I feel like my whole emotional state is dependent on what I hear from clinic day to day xx
Thanks for posting Mary, I’m in a similar situation - I’m downregging towards the end of this month and hopefully starting stims in early Nov. Haven’t heard anything re things slowing down and stopping so fingers crossed we can get through our cycles okay! xx
I’ve always got this worry at the back of my mind too as we have hit so many problems and delays in our treatment anyway. I should finally be getting my FET this month after a covid delay, cancellation of a long protocol after 4 weeks, short protocol, severe OHSS and a freeze all and I think it might push me over the edge if covid cancellations strike again!! But I also work for the NHS and the message at the moment is pretty much keep calm and carry on so I think we stand a good chance 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Hello, I can’t tell you how much anxiety I had just before my transfer with this. I live in Lancashire so on local lockdown and treatment was in Liverpool, also really high numbers. I was so worried I was going to get a temp or they’d stop treatment, but I think it’s quite normal to feel like that when you’ve been waiting so long for something. I decided to stop watching the news so much and I concentrated on making myself as well as I could. I self isolated for about 2 weeks before transfer so didn’t go out as I’m WFH and the clinic said on the day whether they’d be able to let my partner in. Thankfully, our temps were perfect and he was allowed in to be with me. Fingers crossed for you x
Glad it was ok for you! Good luck
