Frustrated and bloods still not right

Hello,

Sorry for another post, but just need to be heard/vent etc. Would be grateful to hear from anyone who has experienced anything similar. Or anyone that can signpost or offer any advice or help in any way.

I had my retrieval on 4/11, I know the OHSS was pretty bad but I’ve since had a period and thought I’d be ‘feeling’ better by now.

Had a follow up appointment yesterday and blood tests and have found out that my haematocrit is still off. I’m taking enoxaparin twice a day and still wearing stupid stockings. I’m no longer swollen, my girth and weight are back to normal, in fact I’m losing weight, I just have no interest in food.

I feel very low and I just don’t know what to do. The clinic are not wanting to let me book in my FET until I’m recovered... but I’m finding it very hard to lift my mood off the floor. I’m finding this really frustrating as when I last saw the consultant, last week she suggested that I have the FET booked in to look forward to and now it feels like the nurses shut me down on the phone and want me to get better first. They are calling next week to see if I’m any better and to potentially redo my blood tests.

My GP is trying to negotiate with the clinic to get my sick note changed so I can at least do some work from home. I’m just getting worse mentally without the routine. He said he’d email the consultant, but I’m yet to hear back.

I’m so tearful, angry, frustrated and low and don’t know what else to do...

Any words of encouragement appreciated. And thank you if you’ve read my waffle this far x
