    Hi,

    I'm new to this post.

    We've gone through our first ivf try which sadly ended in a delayed miscarriage at 10 weeks. Unfortunately our health authority reduced the number of tries just before we started. However, we experienced a number of delays due to no fault of our own and I would like to appeal to see if we could gain those two attempts back or at least one of them.

    Has anyone appealed a decision? Do you have any advice?

    Thanks

    Thanks for the support everyone.
    Hi Dee - how frustrating about the changes. My friend did this and complained to her local CCG directly. You can find out who they are through your GP if needed. She got her GP on side and got them to write a letter of support too. There was also an exemption form her GP completed for her as anther route too. Good luck!
    Good luck Ellesbelles and laura82.

    Morning all!
    Hope you are all doing ok xx


    We had our IVF planning meeting and we are good to go... I am actually eagerly waiting for CD1 rather than dreading it.
    Should be down regging in a month's time...

    Hi....

    Hope everyone is well.

    Ellesbelles - I had my scans and bloods last week ... first consultant appointment today. Really nervous! Really hope we can begin our 1st IVF cycle asap. We only get 1 try on the NHS.. its so unfair that it's a postcode lottery. I've joined a group on Facebook that's really supportive too.. IVF UK. I hope CD 1 comes soon for you and doesn't keep you waiting around!!

    Xx

    Just wanted to say good luck to everyone about to start a cycle :)

    We had a month off this month as we're working all the hours on our house and DH has been working 7am to 11pm most days :eek: Next month we should be back in our house and back to trying.

    This is going to sound really selfish but I'm a member of a facebook group and had got quite friendly with two other women who were quite similar to me. A couple of weeks ago they both announced bfps after their first rounds of ivf which is obviously brilliant, but I feel left behind and a bit lonely now.

    I'm still anxiously awaiting my hcg appointment.

    Hi ladies.

    First IVF consultation done .. I can start down regulating on my next cycle. Currently on CD 20 .. so I think I have about 4 weeks until then. I opted for the endoscratch which will be done prior to starting down regulation. My clinic also are researching naural killer cells so I will get that done at the same time as the endo scratch for no further cost 😊. Feeling really excited / scared at the minute. Busy researching all I can!

    Hope everone is well. Xxx
