"Outstanding support on my fertility journey"

About: Crosshouse Hospital / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

I have been under the care of Crosshouse fertility clinic since the beginning of this year after a long referral process. I was under investigation as I couldn’t fall pregnant for over 6 years. I was extremely nervous and felt very pressurised as I am in my 30s and with the social pressures I thought I was running out of time to have a family. I was reassured this was not the case.

As soon I as I entered the clinic, the staff were amazing. I was receiving regular scans and blood tests with all members of staff being kind, professional and very knowledgeable. As I was awaiting further tests then the unbelievable happened! I am currently 9 weeks pregnant. This is honestly a dream come true. I am aware this is very early in the pregnancy journey but I would have not been in this position if it wasn’t for SCN Alison, Nurse Amy and Lynsey.

I cannot put into words the outstanding support that was given to me. Whatever happens in the future I am very grateful for the care I received. These wonderful women can support any woman struggling with their fertility journey to guide them into the right pathway of care.
