Help, failed cycle just 5 immature eggs collected.

Ok yes I think you get those done on cd3, hopefully someone else will pop on and let you know for certain about those, but all the other ones you can get done when your at the clinic. Maybe your gp will do the fish and e2 done and if your amh  and tsh are current you could use those. Did you clinic that you have just cycled with do any pre-cycling tests? If so, I’d request a copy of those and send them over, if your not sure, ask them and you could use them.

Thank you Stacey. I’m going to call my drs shortly and ask if they’ll do it. They did (thankfully) agree my thyroid test and I think the fsh/e2 is a lot cheaper. I’ve found somewhere online for £80 for both. Kinda need answers as I’m sure AF will be here soon. Albeit not sure how long she takes to arrive after failed EC?! I’m guessing my body will treat this like an ovulation and my cycles are usually pretty regular xx

Sorry forgot to say that the only tests my clinic did were the standard ones required by law (hiv hep etc) and also the amh. The thyroid they did was 2.778 and yet the thyroid my GP did was 1.77. They’ve offered zero explanation for the thyroid being such huge jumps. Blaming different labs give different results. The 2.77 is the reason why I had the antibody test which came back at under 9.

Thanks Stacey

I told my clinic to naff off today and they are an appalling clinic and should be ashamed of the service they provide. We’ve decided to do a tandem cycle in Cyprus the AF after whenever this one is turns up.

Thanks everyone for your support. Really helped us make up our minds of saying bye to England and the crap service and hello to Cyprus.

Thank you Jade. I kinda knew on Wednesday after our meeting with the ‘i am never wrong’ consultant. He made us feel worse. Even found out my amh which I thought was 0.6 is in fact 5.7. Cant bloody believe it. So angry. I’ve got an essay complaint letter written which I keep going back to to amend. They need to know how poor they are at providing the service.

It’s thanks to this board that I found out about tandem cycle or we’d be wasting another 4 months of our lives finding out solely if my eggs were any good!

Congratulations on your baby on board. How exciting. I hope to be joining you on that band wagon soon. Now just to wait for AF... I love waiting me haha xx

Like Stacey said they will have been done by your current clinic so you should be able to get them from there; you don’t need the copies or evidence, they can just tell you them over the phone or via email. Sometimes they want to charge you to copy your records, but as it’s just a few numbers you need I would hope they would cooperate - especially considering that they didn’t do very well by you on your last cycle.

If you need them re-doing (or your clinic don’t cooperate) then there are places that do them for you: I went to Cherish in Sutton Coldfield.

And don’t worry, you are allowed to change your mind - I think lots of us experience it!xxx

[CatLadyTTC1]

Yes cloudy. I have emailed Cyprus today to say our results. I dared the clinic I even think about charging us. I called them and said I have the sharps box and when I arrive in 2 hours time I expect all our results to be Ready for collection. I got advised that needs to be signed off by a doctor so I said well you have been given a 2 hour warning which is plenty of time, if they’re not ready then I will sit and wait and I won’t be quiet about my waiting. When I arrived my test results were ready.  I checked them and asked for my scan picture to be told we don’t take pictures to which I advised them to go and get my file as I was there when my scans were printed off. Guess what, she came through with my scan pictures.

I’m like Maggie thatcher now, this woman is not for turning.

I also, as I was leaving said (with several ladies waiting) that I wouldn’t be back ever because they’re are a disgusting clinic with no morals.

Don’t think I’ll be welcome back.

[Stacey10]

Ha ha ! Good for you ! Omg so proud of you, well done, there should be more ladies like you doing that ! Some Clinics get away with far too much imo from what ive read on here, they forget that we are the paying customer and without us they wouldn’t have a job !

[CatLadyTTC1]

Im actually a very calm and collected woman that’s usually very friendly but they’ve taken me to the wrong level. HFEA and ICO have been involved in my previous complaint which was upheld so you wait for my next round of complaints. I never complain but dear god these people are messing with our future, nor whether our hamburger was undercooked you know? So, hell hath no fury than a woman scorned.

I will volunteer at the clinic to say what they’re doing wrong, I know this won’t bw welcome but I’ve always been one to say if there’s a complaint, offer a solution or 10. Complaining for the sake of it gets you nowhere at least if you’re coming back at them with options they can’t ignore you. They have to answer.

I don’t want any couple to ever go through what we went through. Vile b*****s.

Brilliant, I’m really pleased you got the information - well done you xxx
