Blabber




I finished the pill last night, so its getting closer. I have only suffered one headache from the syranal spray so far but I have to admit I have never felt so tierd in the afternoons since I was pregnant and its really effecting my emotions, but I guess thats what you expect when you get pumped full of hormones. I'm tipping the hormones are struggling to deal with it too, I can just picture them all running around with tissues on one hand wiping away their tears lol.


I have so many mixed feeling flying around right now, its like I want to get to transfer but I don't cause what happens if it fails and knowing I always respond better to fresh cycles better than frozen I just wanna by pass the FET's and stop wasting money. Oh here I go again wiping out the cycle before I get to it, guess it comes naturally after 7 transfers and a loss of my 16 week Angel.


Thought I might post this, so if your good with emailing and expressing your discust this might be a good one:



John James to ban IVFDanielle CroninThursday, 28 September 2006Fertility and other reproductive health treatments have been banned at theACT's largest private hospital by the new Catholic Church owners.John James Memorial Hospital is expected to announce today that the LittleCompany of Mary, which operates Calvary Hospital, will take over the runningof the Deakin facility. Both parties would not comment on the deal yesterdayJohn James management has told Canberra Fertility Centre and Sydney IVFCanberra the only clinics of their kind in the ACT that the hospital'soperating theatres will be off-limits to women undergoing a crucial part offertility treatment in a change that has been blasted by IVF and healthspecialists.They have been told procedures to retrieve women's eggs can no longer beperformed at the hospital from October 6. About 400 women every year undergothis procedure in the ACT every year.The Little Company of Mary is opposed to IVF, abortions and sterilisation ofmen and women because of its religious beliefs.John James Memorial's board has been considering bids to buy the businessafter it was publicly revealed in June that the hospital was in financialstrife.Little Company of Mary will own two of the three private hospitals orcontrol 75 per cent of the private hospital beds in the ACT if the sale goesahead.The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has conducted an informalreview and concluded the sale "would be unlikely to result in a substantiallessening of competition". But it is understood that several doctors havesince complained to the consumer watchdog about the restrictions on servicesif Little Company of Mary takes over.Canberra Fertility Centre scientific director Chris Copeland said yesterdaythat the organisation had been at John James for 20 years but received twoweeks' notice of the "bizarre and absurd" change.The clinic's specialists performed about 230 egg retrieval procedures everyyear on about 170 women undergoing IVF.The change would affect women already on the fertility program, potentiallydrive up the cost of treatment and cause anxiety."I cannot for my life of me understand why the new owners of the hospitalcould not have turned around to us and said, 'Well look, this is ourattitude and we'll give you until the new year to find alternativearrangements'," Dr Copeland said. "I could have lived with that, that wouldhave been the way to do it. But this business of you're out in two weeks isjust crap, it really is crap."Dr Copeland said they had been "running around like headless chooks" to finda short-term solution.National Capital Private Hospital did not have theatre space but Caps Clinica plastic surgery centre in Deakin had made available a procedure room forboth Canberra Fertility Centre and Sydney IVF Canberra.


So sad what our world is coming too!!

Good luck with the cycle, Shazz. I hope the s/e stay under control for you.

Similar thing happened here a couple of years ago. When I did my first 3 cycles up here in Launceston I had my epu and transfer at a private hospital, which has subsequently been bought out by Calvary so won't allow fertility treatments there. Luckily I moved clinics to Hobart so it didn't affect me, but people I know were really left in the lurch.
To make matters worse, that same hospital is where I had my d&c last month, bit hypocritical really? Happy to take 'life' but not create it?

Anyway, enough of my rant, I'm here for you when you need me babe xxx

Hello

My name is Clairisse and I have just stumbled across your website. I had my first appointment at melb IVF on Tuesday. My husband and I have been trying to conceive naturally for 2 years. I have PCOS. We are starting our first down cycle in January and I really don't know what to expect. I am pretty nervous and hopefull at the same time. I guess I want to be positive that this will work but at the same time I don't want to get my hopes up. Any advice would be great. Thanks Clairisse
