Appointment at Oxford

So, I finally got round to ringing the clinic today about the missing letter, they insist I should have received it, so I suspect its down to Royal Mail, which is nice to know, very intimate details of my IVF and my vag are lost somewhere in the world of Royal Mail.

So I explained I wold like to book an appointment and why, the woman was amazing and when I explained about the 3 hour transfer, she has booked me in with the most senior Consultant and I actually think he was the one who ended up doing my transfer, as she said, that would be very good if it is, as he will probably remember the details more, so fingers crossed it is.

I asked if I have to pay for this consultation and she said no as it is within 3 months of treatment, so I'm glad I rang today, as I am cutting it a bit fine!

I have to start a list of what questions I want to ask. So any ideas ladies, would be helpful.
  • Do I need another lap to treat endo and adhesion's?
  • Do I need surgery on my cervix?
  • Can I have my cervix dilated before transfer
  • Do I really need a full bladder as this heightened my anxiety
  • Can I lay down for longer AFTER the transfer
  • Can I be sedated during the transfer
  • Need to find out my AMH results 
I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'm sure I will think of plenty more soon!

Just thought I would pop by and give a quick update on where we are and what we are doing.

    That's awesome that you get to see the senior consultant. I will go ponder more questions and come back if I think of more. I think the sedation one is great. My RE sedates if asked for anyone that has a super difficult cervix,

    Some places say that a traumatic transfer can affect the results, some places don't, all depends on the clinic, but I would obviously like to go for the less traumatic, so may very well insist on sedation. Part of me does think that the trauma from the transfer did affect my outcome, so I will try to reduce that in any way I can.

    Suggestions for questions very welcome Jess!

    I'm positive I commented on this the other day?! I think I'm going a bit mad. I think thats a good set of questions to be asking, I think I would say to make sure you write some answers down as well. You know what its like when you walk out of the appointment and 20 minutes later you can't remember anything they said!

    I dont see why sedation would be a problem, its not going to affect transfer and if anything only help it, surely??

      Got my notepad at the ready!!

      I had betters start saving more pennies if they agreee to sedation, because when you go private, every drug and item is accounted for! :(
