Hello you lovely lot I really really need to vent to ears that will understand.
I am very very lucky and have a beautiful boy who is nearly 3. He was my 4th transfer.
We need IVF for an number of reasons; male factor, low AMH ( for my age) and I have weird anatomy. My left kidney is in my pelvis and my left ovary is in my abdomen with no Fallopian tube. I have always needed abdominal egg collections.
I have always stayed with the same clinic and consultant, basically because he was the only one local (ish)to me willing to take me on and retrieve abdominally. A lot of clinics will just not do it.
With my son although it took 4 transfers everything went smoothly in terms of response, collection, fertilisation etc I always had low numbers 4 eggs approx but always good quality.
Since having my son I have had a FET which was a BFN. We started from scratch at the beginning of the year and followed the same protocol as my son, long and max dose stimms. I had a similar response to stimms but they couldn’t get any eggs at collection, my normal ovary had empty follicles and they couldn’t access my abdominal ovary and after 3 (extremely painful) attempts, he stopped as in his words he ‘lost his nerve’.
So fast forward to now I’m on a short protocol with lower dose stimms. I went for a scan yesterday (day 8) and I haven’t responded yet, however they are ok with that as it’s still early. The huge problem is the consultant who does my egg collections isn’t in next week and I’m furious. I know he’s allowed time off however if anyone had just picked up notes they would have seen the dates and should have delayed me until the consultant is available.
They’ve left me with the option of proceeding with a dr who doesn’t know me or my anatomy or cancel the cycle. I just don’t think they understand that I can’t just have paid nearly 2 thousand on meds for nothing, I’ve already paid for a cycle with no eggs collected. We need that money for future treatment, it’s already nearly impossible to save money 😭 they have offered a discount on the meds if I cancel, however I feel they should do more and front the whole cost as it’s not my fault they didn’t check my case and their diary properly!!!
What would you do faced with this situation? Cancel or go with the unknown consultant. You need know he might be more skilled 😂
Honestly this journey has a twist at every turn, nothing is simple. I know I’m so lucky to be able to snuggle my boy after a rubbish time at the clinic. However my desire to have another baby is so strong and this journey is testing my resilience to the max.
Damn you infertility!!!!
End rant.
Thanks for listening.
Love to you all you warriors ❤️❤️❤️
