Keeping you informed on my personal journey and finding useful articles about infertility and the misdiagnosis of infertility issues.

This is Bourn Hall Clinic located just south of Cambridge. It is a gorgeous setting and I will say we are impressed with the staff. Bryan and I visited yesterday to drop off our registration papers. It was a little bit past lunch time and the receptionist asked us if we had eaten lunch and we told her we had no time as I had to pick up lab results to drop off. She then went to the kitchen got us sandwiches and made us coffee.
I believe we sat there about 5 minutes before a patient representative came over and gave us some basic information and asked a few questions with regards to our lab results.
We also had the AMH results back which I was confused on as some places say the result is normal and some say it is low. If you are having any doubts about your ability to conceive I highly recommend you ask your doctor to do this simply blood test. It can be done at any time. There is no need to wait for a certain date to have the blood drawn. I wish we had fought harder for our cause years ago as now it may be to late but I hope to help others in their journey. Fight as hard as you can for someone to take you seriously, do not let them give you whatever reason they come up with when nothing is medically found.
I personally have fibroids and a tumour on one of my ovaries which is causing issues as well as a thyroid disorder. It took years to find this out. I only found out because of an ER visit. I went to see the doctor because I was in screaming pain and they finally diagnosed me.
I am not saying all medical care is bad because it is not but just remember if you believe something is wrong then investigate it!
Our first appointment is on Monday the 17th of March .I will be updating with what happens during the first appointment shortly after we get home.
Please be so kind as to share our fundraising page as we raise the last of the money for our IVF cycle. Simply click on fundraising and it will take you there.
My blog is updated at least once a week and sometimes more depending on what I feel like writing about at the time.
