Today has been the most horrific day we have ever experienced... As we got in the car this morning to drive to Nottingham for our fourth scan both of us were feeling extremely weary however we knew this could be the last scan so we pushed ourselves just that little bit more.
Just before we were due to enter Spratton there is an extremely sharp corner (where many accidents have occurred) which Jay took a little bit too fast, we crashed into the barrier and the car also slipped on mud. It was a lucky escape as it is a very dangerous corner and we were even more lucky that no cars were coming on the other side of the road. Neither of us were hurt but it badly shook us up, it happened so fast...
So we rang my mum and we went home immediately as we didn't know what damage was done to the car. When we got home the car appeared to be unscathed, just a lot of the paint work scratched off on my side where it hit the barrier and a small dent. It was decided that mum would drive us to Nottingham instead until Jay could get the car checked out properly. We all got in mum's car and was at a roundabout that leads to the M1 when disaster struck again! Suddenly mum couldn't change gear and the car appeared to be stuck right on a very busy roundabout! She finally managed to get the car to a safe place on a grass verge and then we rang up the breakdown cover but we all couldn't believe that mum's car had broke down!!!
An hour and a half later the breakdown recovery man arrived and said that the clutch had gone on mum's car and he was going to tow it to a garage. In the meantime we had been frantically trying to get hold of CARE Fertility and let them know that we couldn't get to Nottingham today. So they said I could come in for my scan tomorrow however we had a problem...I had run out of Menopur! I had no medication left as on Wednesday the clinic had only given me enough till Friday. The clinic said that we may well have to buy the Menopur (which as you know is very expensive!)
Luckily the breakdown man ended up driving through our village in order to take mum's car to the garage so Jay and I got out and walked home. As soon as we got in we rang up CARE Fertility and was told that we had to ring round as many pharmacies as we could and find out if they had any Menopur. In the meantime Mary (our nurse) had rang CARE Fertility in Northampton and they had refused to help!!! Jay and I got on the phone and guess what?! No pharmacies in Northampton stocked Menopur. Our day just got even worse. If I didn't take the Menopur tonight then the whole IVF treatment would be all over...
Finally we had some good news Mary rang back and said that CARE Fertility in Northampton would provide us with the 3 ampoules of Menopur that we needed. Jay and I risked taking the car out (to see how it ran as well) and drove to CARE Fertility Northampton to pick up the Menopur. So we now have the Menopur to take tonight and we still have to go to Nottingham tomorrow morning for my scan. The car appears to be fine and Jay has checked it over several times. The only thing we can do is leave super early in the morning to give plenty of time to get to Nottingham. Worst day ever!!!!!!!!
