Appointment for IVF referral through
Hello Ladies,
Well after our lovely surprise earlier this month with my FSH level, we now have our NHS appointment through for 6th April.
Funnily enough my Consultant at BUPA is the same Consultant for NHS, so when I called him to say my FSH was below 12, he said he would refer me through NHS but I may have to have an NHS appointment with him first, so he can do it all properly.
Can anyone tell me what the waiting times after referral are like.... I'm being referred through Sussex NHS?? April / May is about the time we were thinking we would start IVF, gives us a couple of months to get geared up for it, but now I'm worried it's 6 weeks until my appointment and what if I have to wait another 2-3 months after that until we get started.
The clinic we will be using is The Bridge Centre in London.

I also have a fairly low AMH, which is my main concern, if we leave it too long my odds will be alot worse..

Im not sure if you will remember me but we were both going to East Surrey for our first ever appointments around the same time! Its good to hear you are finally getting somewhere.
We are still going through an appeal process but I am 99% sure we have got the go ahead for the IVF/ICSI funding. We are now waiting for the results on my husbands PESA treatment funding appeal.
Feels like we've been going through the system since forever but there may just be a light at the end of the tunnel!
We had our appt with the consultant Dec and started Feb, so not long at all. Don't give up hope, because your clinic may get you through quicker than you thought xxx
