  • Yay Fairy! I think that's pretty good - as the age old cliche goes, it only takes one :D xx

    Just little ole me left then from us follies foursome :o Think my EC will end up being Monday; is there any spare energy left for a bit more dancing tea? (I can offer some creme eggs as dancing fuel)

    And double yay for RG! Congratulations on being PUPO! :j xx

    lisa - all sounds very exciting, huge amounts of good luck to you, keep us updated! xx

    Brilliant fairy, well done. Bet you are sore and tired, take it easy. I have everything crossed that your eggs are getting lucky tonight!

    How exciting for you lisa! Keep us posted with progress.

    Frozen - is your scan on Friday?

    RG - how did your 2 embryos get on, are they frozen?

    AFM - getting nervous about tomorrow. I've call ay 10.30 to check on progress. Feels weird that our future lies in a dish in a lab.

    Chickpea, have been following her (not in a stalker way!), such a shame how things have turned out.

    That's it, if I thought I mad before, now my head is about to spin off in rage. It's definitely time for us to complain about our hospital.
    Order of events
    -31st Jan - Ultrasound scan- cancelled and rearranged
    -7th Feb- "- cancelled and rearranged
    -28th March - which is the rearranged appointment I got the other day.


    Would you like to guess what comes next??? Yes sure enough today I got another letter cancelling it, and re-arranged- 30th May!!!!!!


    Hubby spoke to them today about the results they've lost, they are now claiming they haven't lost them, they haven't processed them yet. Mmmm. It's not like to have the opportunity to try and see someone else.
    Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.

    Vesper, time for a letter to the chief exec I reckon, mentioning of course that you're sending a copy to your MP.

    Completely agree. It took a lot of persuasion for me to take the steps to get all the tests done (in my head ignorance is bliss).


    Its not like its the HSG scan or anything like that, its just the initial Ultrasound scan. As usually people that can't have babies, are made to feel like 2nd rate citizens.

  • Great egging fairy!

    Vesper, I think you need to get serious with them, I was amazed how fast my NHS trust replied when I copied in the ombudsman, there is an official NHS complaints policy you can follow to. You can also try PALS and see if them can help you.

    AFM: I'm oddly excited about my appt tomorrow even though I know nothing will really happen, I asked my OH this morning to think of some questions to ask, and he said "I already have", almost fell off my chair!
