When is my review appointment?
Just a quite update....So after waiting (im)patiently for 2 weeks after the failed fertilisation I called the clinic last Tuesday to check when my review appointment was going to be. When I finally got to speak to someone they didn't have a note of my appointment and went to find my notes and said they would call me back. They didn't so I called them back the following day to be told I hadn't been reviewed yet and to call back on Friday as they were reviewing my notes then. So at just after 12 on Friday I called to be told they want me to come for a clinic appointment and the date for that was 8th March 2013! Eh? really I need to wait 4 months from failed IVF to be reviewed? I didn't really know what to say. The nurse was very apologetic and said all she could suggest was I call at the end of every week for a cancellation. I said ok and hung up then burst into tears. I felt awful and couldn't believe I would need to wait that long and when would treatment start then, April? May? or further away. Is this because it's NHS and not Private? I text my husband and tried to pull myself together but I just couldn't stop the tears. I had to work on the reception that afternoon too and I knew if I had one awkward patient I might loose it. Luckily it wasn't too bad and i held the tears in until I was in the car coming home.
All weekend I was in a bit of a state to say the least, we have talked about it and have decided that we want to go private for a cycle to see if I can get taken any sooner. We don't have any savings but my husband was left some money after his mother passed away earlier this year and we are going to use some of that, I think she would like the idea that she is helping us get our family.
So I called back today to enquire and I hope to hear back tomorrow - she took some details, gave me a rough price and said she would request my notes and get back to me - so here's hoping I can start again a hell of a lot sooner than March and will be doing ICSI.
I have waited 4 years for this I know 4 months doesn't seem a lot but to me it's forever.
