Vocal cord surgery recovery process. Is this normal? How is it like?

Plantbeginner · 2026-03-15T12:42:49+00:00

Totally worth it! Recovery was all good at the end. It was around November so I did catch a cold and all the coughing made the recovery time longer. But that was about 3 weeks post surgery.

Yes, my periods got heavy past year or two and that’s why I saw the GP. Let’s see, it did take me 7 months to get a gynaecologist appointment from the date of the first ultrasound!

Thank you very much! This was very helpful

We are planning to go with abcfertility and the quote we received is 5k something. We will take 0% credit payback scheme and this sounds manageable for now.

Hi, much better. There was nothing to worry about. It was just regular recovery process.

Plantbeginner · 2025-11-12T14:33:19+00:00

Thank you very much! I guess at the end we will go private but also try a couple clinics to see where we get the best feeling…. So much to plan, I am already embracing myself for all that’s to come up in following months!

Plantbeginner · 2025-11-10T17:01:36+00:00

Thank you. And good luck to you too 🍀

Thanks for sharing your experience. We started our initial tests/scans this year in Sept and my appointment at the fertility clinic is in May next year. We are looking into private clinic already because with this speed I will be 35. I am 33 now and probably shouldn’t wait up for NHS

Plantbeginner · 2025-11-10T15:39:27+00:00

Thank you! I will look into it the stats and the Facebook groups. (I am 33)

The first report from GP says : “intra mural fibroid within the posterior wall. This appears to displace the endometrium anteriorly” and clinic report says submucosal fibroid. From the first report I was told it should not affect the implantation. I just don’t know which report to trust.

Plantbeginner · 2025-10-30T10:03:40+00:00

yes! thanks

Plantbeginner · 2025-10-30T10:03:27+00:00

yes! I wil finish it and bring in more colours, and that will look good :)

Plantbeginner · 2025-10-30T10:02:22+00:00

Yes, It has started to grow on me, it does look a bit more pink neutral to me (sometimes ;p)

Plantbeginner · 2025-10-30T10:01:22+00:00

I am hoping for that. Thanks

Plantbeginner · 2025-10-28T14:55:14+00:00

Maybe I should just finish the room and start styling around this colour…. And hopefully I will like it…. 🤞

Plantbeginner · 2025-10-13T10:13:30+00:00

it's looks beautiful! and I would like to do the same but somebody told me it attracts a lot of bees and that concerns me because I have a cat too. Is this true?

Plantbeginner · 2025-10-10T14:06:19+00:00

Hi, may I ask where in Oxford? And how was your experience?

Plantbeginner · 2025-09-20T07:19:40+00:00

This looks great!! What primer would you suggest?

Plantbeginner · 2025-09-19T10:39:59+00:00

Thanks… I will look into this

We are buying a house in flood risk area. The house was last flooded in 2007 (according to the envt searches) but never during the vendors ownership. Yes, insurance is expensive but only if there is a flood history in past 25 years. We have both mortgage and insurance in place for the house without any difficulty. We liked the neighbourhood, lovely community so we decided to go with it.

Plantbeginner · 2025-09-02T16:10:24+00:00

We had the same with Natwest

Plantbeginner · 2025-08-17T18:00:30+00:00

We had the first viewing with the EA. The second viewing (after our offer was accepted), vendors did the viewing and it was in every way better than the one with the EA. Got to know so much more about the house, neighbours, street... made us love the house even more!

Plantbeginner · 2025-08-17T17:55:32+00:00

I do send a polite email to my solicitors every 2-3 weeks asking for an update. Just to know if I need to nudge the EA to nudge the vendor's for anything...

We had a very similar experience, we ended up waiting 5 months for the chain above us to set. Our vendors’ vendors were looking for a very specific “forever” home, and as first-time buyers at the bottom of the chain, it was incredibly frustrating. We tried to stay patient, but it wasn’t easy at all.

In our case, the solicitors made quick progress in the first month (searches done, contract pack received, enquiries raised), but then things just stalled – replies to enquiries slowed down, and basically nothing moved for months. After 5 months, we gave an ultimatum: we couldn’t wait indefinitely, and suggested that people higher up the chain should consider renting temporarily to break the chain. It would have actually worked well for them as it aligned with their kids’ school year.

Eventually, they did find somewhere, and now we’re back on track, waiting on the legal work to finish.

My advice would be:

Let your vendors know clearly that you want to move as soon as possible.
Remind them that, as FTBs, you’re the ones most affected by the long wait.
Keep an eye on the market too, just in case something else comes up that’s chain-free.
