Only took two years 🀬🀯( and lots of hounding on the portal, a few letters to MPs and the Health Minister to chase it up 🀣)

Was 37 when I was added to the active waiting list ..... now almost 40.... not as much of a chance ..... but it’s still a chance!

After two private rounds.... the wallets are empty and we are so thankful to have an nhs list in the first place!

Could this be the last round? 😜😘πŸ₯°

Happy Friday ivf sisters!

That’s great news. Good luck. Awful you had to go to that extent to get to top of the list. The fertility centre should never have been closed. Bringing life in to the world is so important. All the best and I hope you get your baby πŸ˜ŠπŸ’—

That's amazing news, have everything crossed for you lovely. Ridiculous that it took this long, but definitely right to look at the positive of having the NHS round at all, sending you all the luck in the world 😘 xx

Ohh finally, I am so glad for you. I cannot understand why it took so long... When we went to NHS it took only 2-3 months for first appointment and then we had investigation going for 2 years for both of us with 6 months ovulation induction. When they saw that nothing could be "fixed" we started IVF treatment straightaway. Hope you have 3 funded rounds to worth the wait 😁. As an advice please take your detective role very seriously, you have already IVF experience. Good luck 🀞β™₯οΈπŸ€—πŸ€

Thanks so much. We only get one round here. They’ve agreed to move to two rounds but no funds have been agreed to make this a reality. Hopefully πŸ™πŸ» with the ivf knowledge and my eyes being wise to the whole thing, we will get the best out of it πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

Just one funded round and 2 years wait, that is a lot!! I thought that you are the winner on post code lottery πŸ˜‰ with 3 rounds πŸ˜πŸ˜† Hope this will be your last round, I think you have all the chances, stay positive β™₯οΈπŸ€—

It’s a joke isn’t it πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ the private clinic here saw nearly 800 patients last year 😳 .... the very same people who work at my nhs clinic work at it! Allllllll a bit suspect to me! Seems funny that when I got the mp people snooping about waiting lists etc ..... suddenly I get a ping to say I’m top of the list! I also told the consultant at the private clinic that I wasn’t buying anymore rounds as I was having my nhs turn hopefully soon πŸ˜‚ it’ll prob be him at the nhs clinic ! Weird times! Thanks for your message , have a lovely weekend πŸ₯°

Ah so exciting! I’m so glad you have some dates to look forward to - definitely makes for a mini celebration!
