IVF timeline change

Has anyone else had their fertility clinic push their IVF start date a whole month later due to a scheduling issue on their behalf?! I called my clinic today to ask them to give me more details on when my egg retrieval will be and additional details related to my upcoming IVF cycle. My doctor had originally told me that we were looking at around a Jan. 17th egg retrieval (and then a frozen transfer following sometime in March) and so we went ahead and paid the full amount in October per the clinic’s request to secure our spot on the calendar. Come to find out today after I called that we haven’t even been placed on the calendar (bc the IVF financial coordinator didn’t forward the email saying we paid to the other IVF coordinator that was supposed to reach out to me before now) and now they’re booked up through Feb. 15th and saying there’s no possible way to fit me in Jan like they originally said because they’ve already scheduled enough patients for egg retrievals for the month of January.

I’m just honestly so sad and disappointed and angry that this change happened so suddenly and out of my control and all because of the clinic’s error. It seems extremely unfair. This process is already so hard and full of so much waiting and this just felt like a gut punch today after my husband and I finally accepted that we’d be doing IVF in January after a long 3 years of trying to conceive with an early loss almost two years ago now. 🙄🙃😑😡🤬😔😩😭😭

Safe to say I could use any advice, words of encouragement and prayers. I’m feeling down in the dumps…😭😭

This isn't necessarily a helpful response, however my husband and I have had a very disappointing experience with our current fertility clinic. Awful communication on their part. Very little direction on their end. This is their job, they do this everyday, for us the experience is all new and extremely stressful and extremely expensive and there is absolute lack of sensitivity on their end. Lack of information that has caused unnecessary delays.
I wish you the best. Infertility is the hardest thing I've had to experience. Isolating and beyond frustrating. We have done the egg retrieval, waiting to do our first FET, the doctor missed two scheduled calls. Waiting for next steps to do FET. I'm currently off work until the process is over.
You are not alone, the whole process just sucks. The waiting is so hard!! Sending love and patience

Yes that happens all of the time

Timeline changes seem to be quite normal in IVF even when clinics don't make admin errors.

It's hard as most people going through IVF have been trying a long time, but try not to get too set on timelines and dates as things can and do change all the time.

I got frustrated because our start date changed, my body didn't respond as quickly as it should, then it was a frozen instead of a fresh transfer ect. If I could give past me some advice, I wish I'd treated timelines as more of a rough indication rather than a guarantee something would happen on that day.

Sorry this has happened and I hope your clinic get their act together! X

Third baby

Has anyone had a second/third child without feeling 100% sure? I have two children and feel like the first I was 100% sure I wanted a baby, the second I was 100% sure I wanted a sibling. I always wanted three children but since having my second I have felt quite ‘done’.

I do miss the baby stage and often think about how I would love that feeling of meeting your baby for the first time, newborn cuddles etc, but the reality of what goes into having a child, and knowing I would be doing it alongside two children doing school run nursery run etc etc. I’m just not sure I could do it. I am also such a worrier and feel I have two healthy children already. I’m worried about it something were to go wrong with a third. I am turning 40 next year and my husband really wants a third, and given my age I am thinking about it really seriously as I feel this is really my last chance. Just wondering if anyone has had these feelings and done it anyway? Or not and regretted it?

Test line disappearing to shadow
