Hi Ladies
After reading quite a few posts on here about ladies going private as the waiting list with the NHS for IVF Is too long. Can anyone fill me in.
I was told by our consultant that if I don't Concieve naturally by Sept, we will start IVF I already have my appointment to go back on Sept 10th. (will this appointment be to get the balls rolling? Or to just add me to a waiting list)
When I asked the consultant if there was a waiting list he said that we would start within 16 weeks which is 4 months?? Depending on the availability of appointments?
What sort of waiting times is everyone else being advised? Is what I've been told realistic or have I just been fobbed of with 16 weeks when it's really going to be longer?
If anyone can shed light on waiting times for me that would be greatly appreciated.
Xx
