When I walked into the nurse's room I asked her if there was any news. I meant any news on whether the neighbouring PCT would fund us but she thought I meant the result of my day 3 blood test. She informed me that the results were back and that they were absolutely fine. I asked her the FSH level and she told me....8.8.
CCCCCCCCRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
8.8, it can't be 8.8, it needs to be under 8 for me to be considered on the egg sharing programme.

This isn't crap, this is really fucking shit. I was relying on this route. I had it all planned in my head. This whole crappy infertility thing would have be so much easier to take if we had only paid a couple of thousand of pounds rather than 5-10 thousand to maybe have a baby.
And then, if that wasn't enough crap news I asked her if they had heard from the PCT about funding. She checked my records and said that they hadn't heard about our outcome yet but that she knows that the practice referred four couples and they have received two rejections. So, things aren't looking too good on that front either.
Really, I have just had enough. How many more brick walls are we going to have to hit? Where do we go from here? Well, I'm really not holding out any hope of getting funding from the PCT. I will continue to have my blood tests done (two more cycles), I will book us in to get our STI tests done and then I suppose I will need to make the phone call to the consultant's secretary to request a referral. Then, I suppose we head into the very expensive world of infertility treatment.

Disappointing to hear about the two more bricks you've had to build into your brick wall. :( So it sounds like you get to test your FSH again (2 more times?) to hopefully have it show up under 8 again? And the rejection letters for the funding, not news you want to hear while waiting for your own to be accepted.
You're right though, like its not enough you have to deal with all the baggage that comes with this unwanted journey, you're being forced to jump through even more hoops. Ugh!!
I'm sorry this is all going tits up. Your luck has to start changing soon, doesn't it?
That is crap news. I'm sorry! WHen will you test your FSH again? I hope they want to...sometimes you need to test more than once to get a realistic number.
Brick walls suck - I'm sorry! Thinking about ya!
