NHS delays

[Pappardelle]

Hi! Good evening everyone.

Is there anyone else here on the IVF waiting list with NHS that was told by their clinic that the treatment might not happen when scheduled, due to COVID? Apparently I won’t know if my treatment will go ahead until the very last minute - when my period will come in February. I am trying to stay positive, but feeling extremely down today. Not knowing is killing me. And can’t help but thinking I have waited enough and this is just too much to deal with right now.

That is really rubbish and i am sorry you are in limbo. I find it so frustrating as we are two years down the line with covid and treatments can't resume! My local clinic aren't taling any new referrals or starting fresh cycles but are doing FET's. My heart breaks for everyone trying to have a family and not being able to start the process.

Hi Pappardelle. Unfortunately this is happening just now. Anywhere where there is a theatre setting are experiencing delays due to safe staffing levels. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Diane
