My Spanish clinic cancelled my frozen transfer last month as they read the units incorrectly (UK to EU conversion). They’ve wasted 5 weeks. I almost didn’t go ahead as I’m beyond my age cutoff for a baby, and the age gap is getting larger than I’d like. I had a hard line that I’d communicated was a strong goal for me. Now I won’t game a chance of having a baby this year by the time I prep again. I’ve wasted £600-700 in drugs, bloods and scans, not to mention unpaid leave from work. It’s a credible clinic but I feel devastated.

I’m really sorry that you’ve gone/ you’re going through this.
I’m 43 and had my timeline before and during the process and it was a lot for me to process but I had to realise that I’m not in control. First lesson of parenthood.
I think it’s fair to say that in this IVF process we aren’t in as much control as we tell ourselves we are. Sometimes it’s the clinic, sometimes our bodies aren’t cooperating, sometimes it’s the universe or just how life is but your baby will come when the time is right.
Maybe you can resell your drugs or their lifetime won’t expire by the time it’s needed.
I hope this helps and I’m sure it just feels like empty words. Hoping that it works out well with no further hiccups.
