Fertility clinic vent (child mentioned)

in Infertility
I had a baby last fall and REALLY want to get trying for another sooner rather than later, bc we all know of the uncertainties of infertility and how freaking long it will take. So I was hoping to do an FET in May/June and continue on from there. I started calling in my periods in FEBRUARY to prepare for it. So far in advance, bc I knew these things don't happen right away. Boy did I underestimate that. I had to get re-referred to the clinic that I was at barely more than a year ago. Fine. Then I had to get more diagnostic testing. Fine, did that. I called them this morning to confirm that everything was completed and they informed me that there's a 2-3 month wait list. I'm crushed. I know this may seem like a petty problem compared to others' on this board, but it really hit me in the gut today. Yet another reminder that I have barely any control over this garbage dump that is called infertility.

    I'm so sorry to hear of that @FatPony. What a frustration! And don't belittle your own problems and feelings, everyone's journey is different and we all have our own things, but we can respect each other's trials and journeys. That's terrible that they didn't put you on the waitlist when you first started calling. Prayers for peace for you!

    @FatPony : sorry you have to go through that wait now. Is that for them to see you again to set things up or to do your FET? I'm afraid to have to go through the same thing again once we're ready for #2. We had to wait about 3-4 months for our initial consult, then another 2 months after the testing to get a plan, then another 3-4 months because of other health issues I had to take care of first, then, then...

    I'm 38 weeks along now and already stressing about what I need to do post-baby to reduce the chances of issues (I have stage 4 endo with an endometrioma in my left ovary that couldn't be removed, which means the more periods I have, the more chances I have of that ovary collapsing on itself). There sure is no break for us IFers!

    P.S. There's been discussions on the PAIF board to have a 'Parents after IF' and 'TTC again' checkin in case that interests you.
