Attended New Victoria hosp in Glasgow in December 2011, consultant said he would refer me to Glasgow Royal for IUI (we are unexplained) and that waiting list 16-18months, but would be backdated to Dec 2010 when I had all my tests at the Southern General (was told to go away and try for a year and i would likely just fall pregnant, obv not).
Hadn't heard anything from either hosp so decided since that is us 4 months in to our 4-6months wait to call them. Called Victoria hosp, secretary said nothing to do with them once referral sent and grudgingly gave me number for ACU at Royal.
Called Royal and she said, " You were only referred in Dec 2011, its 16months wait from referrral, the 6months is from app." I explained about the backdating and she put me on hold.
Came back and said oh yes I am on list from Dec 2010, I had just missed list for this month and should hear next month. She then said " things are taking longer because the woman that deals with the waiting list is off long term sick, the administrator is doing her best to keep up, so it might take longer than you think before you will hear."
So who knows when will actually hear, I have no idea what she meant 6months from appt but was so stressed by her saying I would need to wait 16months I forgot to ask. And overall I have a sneaking suspicion if I hadn't phoned I may have waited the full 16months.
Sorry for the rant, but getting pg shouldn't be this hard, or involve chasing people (other than your other half) around. Stressed.com!
