Hi everyone,
Myself and my partner have just had funding grated to start our ICSI treatment. I went into the Hewitt fertility centre on Tuesday and had another blood test done for ruebella and was told we will receive an appointment in the post just to sign all the consent forms and then start treatment.
My partner has cystic fibrosis which means he doesn't naturally produce sperm. He has already been to Broadgreen 2 weeks ago and had his op done to take sperm direct from him which is all done and we have had notification all fine and his sperm is in the lab.
Every time I go the Hewitt centre I have loads of questions but then my mind goes blank!! I know I will start on treatment but can anyone help with what cycle day this starts? I'm due on my period any day now. Am I right in thinking I will have to go the hospital every 2 days for blood and scans? How many days after are eggs collected?
Will I need time off work?
I'm worried as I only started my current job in June and I'm in a 6 month probation period so I don't really want to tell work unless I have to? Will they give me a sick note does anyone know?
We have been going through tests etc for 10/11 months so obviously I don't want this to affect anything but of course if we are planning a family I need to keep my job.
Thank you in advance
Emma xx
