I have literally sparkly bombed the thread! Sorry! It took me forever to catch up.. And I hope I haven't missed anyone! Hi to all!!
So my update on my app:
It was fine. Basically just talked through how I was getting on with the AI and if any success etc.
Purds you are gonna like this bit.. She told me she had three other patients this week who had got their BFPs using AI for a few months. So that's positive. AI works. One of her other patients has just had a baby whom... Wait for it.. Was 44. Had NEVER had sex before so was trying AI to conceive. And conceived.. FIRST CYCLE... I can imagine the names you are calling this woman right now Purds.. However, just goes to show eh.
So the app was fine. Although she disagreed with fertility clinics view about rushing to IVF etc.. She said given my health situation IVF could be very hard going for me as she says it is hard for someone who is healthy so she would worry about me in the process. She also said that she would def try a max of 12 months with the AI before looking at it as an option. Oh and she voiced her opinion on the way the clinic had dealt with some of the things in the app.. Ie the "we can't confirm you were ever pregnant" etc etc . She says she feels they are not looking at me as a whole person and says often in fertility clinics that can happen as it's just made into such a clinical process and she says it's important they take everything into consideration. She was great, but sadly I feel much the same about my fertility clinic after discussing with her.. A bit less confident in them.. And the next part was unfortunate timing but reinstated my frustration with them..
Had a call from clinic today whilst I was in the app so I rang back after, no answer. Left message. I was then on the rush hour train back from my app which takes one hour.. Phone rings and it's the fertility nurse. She said she was calling to let me know my HSG was good and my tubes are clear (wooo
) she then proceeded to say that she noticed I had been in ward 6 recently and asked what had happened.. I explained I was on a noisy train and could I return her call before the conversation went any further.. She has asked me to return the call tomorrow.
I couldn't work out what she meant, I didn't know what ward 6 was and I hadn't been in hospital as an inpatient for a while.. So I went online to my hospital website to find ward 6 was EPU.. The one I was in in January.. With the early mc! ... Now I may be over reacting as I'm exhausted and probably irrational but eh, hello? I sat with this nurse at the first fertility app six weeks ago... She had the report from ward six, she asked me in the same way then "oh I see you were In ward 6 recently what happened?".. My dh and I explained..THEN into the consultants room and she sat with us and the consultant and consultant asked the same so I had to go through it again. So this nurse, has been there both times.. It's in my notes.. But now she's asking me AGAIN?! She's forgotten? She's looked at the report and forgot to note on it that we have already discussed this twice? And it's now April?! Three months after the event? I don't get it. And I can't be bothered phoning her and going through it ALL AGAIN!!!!
Sorry. Had to get that out!
