Getting ready to head out beginning of feb for our fet and we’ve just seen that to go to Spain now you need the booster if your 2nd jab was more than 270 days ago. You actually couldn’t write this crap. So we are now forced to postpone and forced to get the jab. The worlds gone to pot!
So done with our ivf journey.
Oh FFS Boo... I wasn't even aware of this. So sorry, how flipping annoying! 😡It's all so hard without the extra twists and turns and waiting. Any way you can get the jab immediately? Or does it have to be a certain time before? xx
It’s got to be atleast 2 weeks before 🤦♀️ I’m hoping I can book an app to get one next week then I’ll have to wait two weeks before we can go. But I’m really not happy about being forced to get it 🤦♀️ And period dates have all been worked out so it messes that up too. 😘Maybe I’m just in a whinge but I’m just so tired of it all. The planning the waiting the anticipation the slap in the face when it doesn’t work only to add covid crap in to the mix. I think I’m done. I never thought I’d draw a line but I feel like the line is getting much nearer xxx
I'm not surprised you feel that way. You're very brave, doing IVF abroad in these times. I feel we've all had such a hard situation made so much harder by COVID. So many delays for people who really could have done without them!! I'd actually planned to do our 3rd and 4th cycles (the two we did in 2021) somewhere in Europe rather than the UK again, but it just seemed so messy that we just borrowed another huge chunk of money to go again here. You'd think by now though that things would be easier. Seems a bit daft to me that being double jabbed isn't enough, and you need a booster to enter. But what I think doesn't matter I guess 🤪 I'm really sorry for these setbacks. It's totally natural that you'd feel like giving up today and you're entitled to whinge, 100% 😘 xx
Aww thank you .😘 the money aswell 😬😬😬 it’s crazy. I know it’s 100% worth it if it works but right now I feel like I should just get a dog 😂 How is everything going with you? Xxx
I'm also strongly thinking of giving up and getting a bunch more cats and a dog right now! 😂 I'm waiting for a biopsy down in London in about ten days, to get ERA, uNK and some microbiome tests done. Feeling like crap right now with some sort of virus that doesn't seem to be covid but has made my week a write-off. I feel good knowing at least we're trying to cover the bases and see if anything can be changed or controlled before we transfer our last two embryos... but silly as it sounds I was really down about not being able to TTC naturally this month. On my FET, we did trigger and progesterone only, natural otherwise, but for these tests I have to take progynova, and obviously can't attempt conception anyway with the biopsy coming up. Then the results will take another 5 weeks... It's irrational but it just feels like every month of IVF delay or no TTC naturally (I know we're lucky to even have a remote chance of that working) fills me with panic, like a huge lost chance (not that any of the months, ever, naturally or in IVF, have yielded a flipping line EVER! 😂) Honestly, if I can taste it I think I'm having a big glass of wine tonight 😆 xx
Sorry to hear this…could you apply for a medical exemption? Worth a try…xx
Oh I’m so sorry- Honestly, as if this journey isn’t hard enough without being even more unfortunate to have to do it during covid when rules change constantly, just to add to the highs and lows. Us warriors all need to write a book to document this madness! Wishing you all the luck, it will be worth the wait. Xx
I'm so sorry you're in this position, and I completely empathise. Our clinic is in Spain and after having had to delay treatment for 6 months following a polyp with pre-cancerous cells, I go the go ahead in time for the first lockdown. It just feels like the whole universe has got it in for you personally. Everytime there was a whole news segment dedicated to people whinging about their holidays or destination weddings being postponed, I wanted to launch something at the TV. We'd got things back on track around the time of the second lockdown, when Spain still had more stringent restrictions for UK travellers. I ended up contacting my local Spanish Consulate to see if they could provide me passage. It took a while for them to reply, and unfortunately they said no, even though they realised they circumstances were very difficult for me. Fortunately the restrictions relaxed just in time for us to travel. My point is that it might be worth you contacting your local Consulate - different circumstances, different officials; they might have a different answer for you. Anyhow, I know a few days have passed since you posted this, and I hope you're feeling a little better, but I really do know how utterly helpless and frustrated you must feel. Sending you hugs. xx
Day 6 into FET cycle and feeling like crap...
Just a crap day!
The end of the road...
There WILL be children at the end of this.
Feeling like crap and down in the dumps
