Sparkly, my friend sends her sympathies to you. She cannot understand why they are blocking your requests for progesterone investigations. She agrees with me: this is biochemical or failed implantation - effectively the same issue my friend has. She also agrees you should ask for a referral to a different fertility consultant: "I think she needs to see another doc or consultant. Just because her bloods are fine why would you not give progesterone support as a precaution? Why are they blocking this treatment?" If changing cons is not favourable to you, Sparkly, then start by demanding an appointment with the leading consultant in your case. Demand a review of all your treatment so far, including the two chemical pregnancies. Demand all your baseline tests be carried out again. Do not be fobbed off by this nurse.
My friend then goes on to ask: "Is it possible that the nurse is working around NHS funding for the couple's benefit? As in, if they get to, say, 6 months without a pregnancy then IUI is an option?"
I have copied and pasted the next bit of our convo:
FRIEND: 'I think she should demand an app with the consultant leading her treatment as it has been 8 cycles and by the sounds of things it is so light touch (no crinone which is such a standard thing) it is invisible.'...'I have found it impossible to get beta's btw hence why I discount it although I did get betas from my GP - she can try that instead of the clinic.'
ME: 'I don't understand your last post about the crinone and something being a 'light touch'?
FRIEND: 'What I'm saying is, what exactly is the clinic doing if the treatment they are offering is hardly anything?'
