Hi sorry to hear about your experiences sweetie. It's heart breaking and I know where you are coming from. I see Tim Child at Oxford John Radcliffe. I see him for both my endo surgery and IVF. Ox ford is the 3rd hospital I've been seen at my local wasn't able to cope with the level of surgery I needed.Then tried Addenbrookes but just didn't feel able to communicate properly with the surgeon and he was also reluctant to proceed with the surgery I needed. So researched it and found Mr Child at Oxford. Got on very well with him, absolutely fantastic guy who goes out of his way to do what he can to help.

Takes me 2hrs to get there but well worth it. I originally saw him for a private appointment to see what his thoughts were and if he could help. Then saw him via NHS for everything else after. It's a great way of saving time if your shopping around to find someone that's going to give you the best help there is for what you need if you can manage to do it. Won't help you queue jump but does save a little time as the initial NHS appointments can take quite a while to come through but the private appointment only took a couple of weeks.

If Oxford is something you want to consider I'd happily give you more info or answer any questions you have.

If it's not then your best bet is to do lots of research about specialists in areas you can get to then ask if anyone on here has been.

Not sure if it's still running but there was a great online support group that includes IVF called fertility friends that you might find useful. It did have a section on various areas all over that you might find helpful.

Hope whatevery happens that things work out for you.

Best of luck
