I was supposed to get a phone call on Saturday to confirm time of the procedure. No one bothered. I left them a voice mail on Saturday night. A nurse called me this morning around 8:20 and told me to come at 1pm with a comfortably full bladder.
When we got there, we were sat in the corridor by quite a grumpy nurse who told us that someone will take care of us soon. After 15 minutes another nurse asked us if we were being helped. My bladder was very full by then. After another few minutes we were taken through to a tiny room just to have a little chat about what's going to happen today. We had a little moan about what's been happening, how chaotic and unprofessional the team has been. She asked us if we wanted to talk to someone just to put our minds to peace and we agreed. We saw noone.
We were taken to the waiting room and my bladder started screaming, we ended up waiting another 20 minutes. After that another nurse picked me up and took me to the same theatre I had my embryo transfer done. The doctor and yet another nurse were very lovely. I got changed into a theatre gown and got on the chair. The procedure itself took maybe 3 minutes. The scratching part was quite painful, short intense pain but as quickly as it arrived, it was gone. A few seconds of pain and we were done. It wasn't bad at all. The best part of it all was I could go to the toilet straight after. Back in the waiting room I got my antibiotic tablets (just routine) and we were free to go. We went upstairs to the pharmacy to pick up my medications. We got to the check in point and again, we were not on the system. I was getting quite annoyed by that point. They took us to the waiting room though and even gave us a free coffee (in our case hot chocolate) token. Yay. Within a few minutes a nice nurse picked me up and took me through. I got my buserelin, syringes and sharps box so I'm all good to go and start my injections tomorrow. :) Baseline scan is scheduled for July 7th.
