implant removal- Delayed TTC

[BronzeSilverGold13]

Sorry if this isn't in the right place, just wanted to share what's in my head.

I was supposed to have my implant removed at the end of this month. It had been booked since well before CV restrictions. I got a call yesterday to say my appointment had been cancelled to protect me and the staff. Now obviously I know a lot is going on in the world and it is in everyone's best interest that the appointment doesn't go ahead but i cant help feel disappointed. Having children is something me and DP have talked about for a while and it was edging closer and closer to it becoming a reality. I expected it to be cancelled but getting the phone call made me a little upset. I cant talk to anyone about it other than DP as i haven't told anyone we'll be TTC this year. I didn't want loads of people asking how its going and adding more pressure to the situation but now i have no one else to talk to.

I'm not even too sure why I'm posting, i guess i just want to tell someone else. Thanks for reading

I completely understand how you must be feeling right now.

It took me a long time to talk my DH round to the idea of TTC and when he agreed I was so excited to get my implant taken out and start trying.

I had my implant removed nearly 2 months ago, but I had to wait for ages for the appointment as it was not an urgent procedure and as a teacher, I couldn't just take time off to have an implant out so waited until half term.
It was painful having to wait so long, I just wanted it taken out and I felt angry that I had ever had it put in in the first place. I can't imagine how I would have felt if the surgery had phoned up and cancelled my appointment.

I don't think I will go on the implant again, the doctors are so keen to get it put in you, she even told me whilst I was having it removed to let them know as soon as I've had a baby and they will put one in again! GAH!. It is too much of a faff to get it removed!

I'm sorry that there isn't anything I can say to make you feel better. But hopefully the restrictions will start to ease off again in a few months and you will be able to have it out and get to it!

@HopeWish thank you for replying...that's exactly how it's been for me, It's taken ages for us to decide when the right time would be, we booked an appointment for a little in the future to give Us time to adjust now it's been cancelled I feel a little deflated! I just wish that the last time I had my implant changed I'd have gone onto something less permanent, I think I'd go onto the patch next time

I'm hoping it won't take too long to get an appointment when it's all over... it took nearly a month to get my original appointment.

I hope everything is working out for you!

Sorry that this has happened to you. I had mine out in January, after waiting way felt like an age for ‘the right time’. We have now put TTC on hold due to the whole Coronavirus thing and I’m super sad about that too. Just feels like this year isn’t going how I wanted it to even tho I’m glad I’m healthy etc.

Is there any little ‘nice to do’ goals you could set yourself to achieve before you start trying? I’m trying to lose some weight while we wait to take my mind of wanting to try

Ime don't worry the delay will delay ttc /bfp for too long. When I had my implant out I had a dc 9 months and 10 days later!
Patience op...

DH and I waited for the "right time" to TTC, but that was last July and we haven't had any luck . TTC is not even on the table right now , I just feel gutted . Coming up 7 years together and I wish we'd just bit the bullet years ago and tried.

Thank you lovely ladies for your input, I guess it's the same for a few people which is making it easier somewhat. I wish we'd have started sooner but I suppose when it finally happens it will be an indicator that the world is in a better place which is a nice thought of sorts. I'm trying to reorganise the house a little bit but can't buy any new furniture with them being classed as non essential so I can only do so much which is annoying... I know it's daft to be moaning seeing as CV is very serious but we've all had these plans for longer than CV has been around and it's really putting a spanner in the works for everyone TTC at the moment. @sunfloweryy and @wannabeadored I hope you all get your BFP as soon as this is all over!
