Just parking here. Scan date 04/07. Phoned yesterday at 15 weeks. Was told 18 weeks to go to a decision maker.
Had 2 letters and 2 texts, first text was 12/09 and second text was 02/10

Good luck everyone waiting 🤞

@Mumof385 hey lovely ladies scan date of 29/06 also! Last text 25/09 ! I called Monday and was told 18.5 weeks it will get out to the DM pile , he did mention to call next Monday to see if the wait times have decreased or increased at all as they do fluctuate however think I’m gonna hold of till around 6th November that would make me dead on 18.5 weeks ! If anyone gets put to a DM with similar dates do drop a comment ! ❤️ Wishing you all luck this wait is horrendous! ❤️

Scan date 19th June. Was told on Monday that it isn't even with the DM yet so think I've got at least a couple more weeks. :(

Same here - it is so emotionally exhausting waiting

Mammashaz · 18/10/2023 12:47

We are 16 weeks today !!! Hopefully not a long a wait now ! 2nd text 25/09

Mumof385 · 18/10/2023 12:46

Thankyou, i never thought it would be so stressful to be honest, i thought it was just me but reading through i realise im certainly not on my own.
