How long between being referred and appointment?

Basically what the title says... How long did u have to wait between being referred and recieving your appointment for the ACU.... I had my last appointment on July19th, I was discharged from my local hospital and was told i was being referred that very day.... How much longer do u think it will be..??.. The consultant said that i would get an appointment then would go on the waiting list from there...
I know that every ares is very different... but some insight would be great ... Thank you! image

  • Hi cupcake

    It was our doctor that referred us after doing a sa and 21 day bloods and we had first appointment within 2 weeks.

    Our first appointment was a nurse led and she went through all of our history and referred us for more tests. We then see the consultant in October so it was about a 3 month wait. We have been told however that there is very little waiting list so all being well (me losing weight) we will start within a couple of months from our consultant appointment.

    Hope this helps and good luck for your referrals and treatment.

  • Ahh so u got referred straight from the doctor to the ACU??....

    We got referred to the infertility clinic last July by our doctor... this clinic is at our local hospital... ACU is a bit further away...I wish the appointment would hurry up... not even sure who I would get in touch with if i dont recieve it within the next couple of weeks... Hmmm

    Its all very confusing isnt it??

    So did u go through all the tests at the Assisted Conception Unit??

    Sorry just trying to shed some light on all of this... Theres so much to learn!

    We had quite a wait to get our first appointment at the ACU but think things are really bad at our PCT. All the tests after this were done at the ACU.
