Just wondering if anyone can give me a step by step as to timescales, like when to expect the call and how long and how many appts we have before it all starts

I found out really quickly but the date was about 6 months from getting the letter x
Hi
I was told there was no waiting list as such, it's more about availability at your local hospital. we had all our treatment at Guys hospital and it was amazing. although it can be a long wait before you start treatment, once you have your first appointment treatment starts pretty quickly.
Once you start it's pretty much go and your normal life is put on hold, try and ensure you have no holidays booked or big events so you can focus on your cycle. as you will know you are only offered a few cycles so do all you can to make it work.
I've only had 1 cycle and amazingly it was successful so if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Good luck, and I hope you get a letter soon.
Time really depends on your hospital, but yeah 6-8 months almost anywhere
