Hiya, we had our first appointment here today! was not as scary as I kind of expected, we went private as such for the initial appointment and had to redo a test for dh (at least they have somewhere for the men to provide samples there!!!) but I have a "growth" in my ovary so instead of just jumping straight to clomiphene, we have to wait for another scan to be done next week, we live a few hours away from the clinic so luckily our GP Dr had made sure we have both had all the tests done prior to the first appointment. (saved us time and i think alot of $$)
I kinda wish I had asked for our specific "score" but either way, the dr there suggested we get straight onto the IVF list, because its about a 12-18mo waiting list (depending on score) and even though you CAN swap out some of the IVF funding for clomiphene/other treatments, she didnt recommend it.. was a wee bit confusing but I'm happy to go on the list for the moment anyway.
I feel a little bit strange now, It's like its real that we are having problems conceiving, and its only just starting to sink in!
