So today i went to the hospital and handed in the referral letter to the fertility clinic. The admin lady wasnt there but i spoke to a nice nurse who was very smiley and happy - it was not what i was expecting, although thinking about it i dont know what i was expecting??
When we went for the info event there were so many people crammed into one room we felt really uncomfortable with the whole place. It was so embarrassing walking into a room full of people who were all there for the same thing, all nervous and fidgety, and to top that off - squashed together like sardines! The presentation had out of date slides, the doctor seemed flippant.. it all felt wrong.
We left very disheartned that night, but after speaking to many ladies and a good friend of mine who have used the clinic, as well as looking at their costs it seems they are the only realistic option we have at the moment, and the atmosphere today was so much better! That might be to do with the fact that only 1 lady was in the waiting room.. i later went on to wonder if her poor other half was in the "production" room - i dont know how my man is going to cope with that at all, he really struggles to perform under pressure... like really!
There is a clinic nearer to us, but they will cost over £1000 more and i just cant deal with that... they also charge for blood tests, where as ours doesnt. The only thing about our clinic is that they dont take embies to blasto stage... the other clinic does but for £450 more!!! ggrrrrrrrrr!
So anyway, had my first laser hair treatment today and it was quite nice!! Didnt hurt at all!! I turned up near on an hour early and they saw me which was fabulous.....
Will be interesting to see how the hair grows back after one treatment!! I go back in September for round 2 :)
