My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years now. We had one pregnancy this time last year that ended in a miscarriage at 10 weeks.
We are in the process of being seen by fertility clinics on the NHS but the waiting and service is just causing more stress! My only conversation with a doctor was a 3 minute chat on the phone where he told me my egg reserve was on the lower side and he’ll do a test to check my tubes then the next step is IVF. I suspect there may be a hormonal issue at play (based on luteal phase length etc) but they’ve not even looked at that and said rey wont. I’ve now been waiting for this next test for two months but no one can tell me how long the wait is or what the wait for IVF after is too.
Has anyone just given up on the NHS and gone private? We do have money to do it but obviously once you do, you can’t go back to the NHS and who knows how many rounds we might need.
for anyone who has gone private…What was the experience like? Were you listened to? Did the consultations last more than 5 minutes? Did you have to wait a long time between appointments? Any advice would be amazing because im on the edge of a nervous breakdown! 😂
