Hello?
Yes, this is Mrs X.
Ah, ok, yes. I wasn’t sure if you’d be back up and running yet.
Sure, it’s [date of birth]. [postcode].
Weight? Oh god. I mean, we’ve had lockdown and I hadn’t even finished losing my Christmas weight so…maybe about 12 stone?
Ah ok, that’s a relief.
Married.
Yes, I live with my husband. Do some people not?
[unsure face]
Yes, I have two children.
Yes, both with my current husband.
No, he doesn’t have any other children.
What do you mean?
But I was told by the consultant back in February that I would be eligible. They’ve already written to the Welsh Government for permission.
Sorry?
Yes I do already have children but this isn’t for me. The eggs aren’t for me.
Look, if I wanted more children I could have them now, on my own. Well, not on my own but you know what I mean. Without going through IVF.
Because this is for my daughter. I’m harvesting mine so she can maybe use them…
No, you won’t have her files, she hasn’t been referred to the fertility team.
Why? Because she’s only six years old. I already had a consultation on this seven months ago. My daughter has Turner’s and won’t be able to have her own biological children.
Next week? Thursday? Yes, that’s absolutely fine.
My husband? Why does he have to come?
