I haven't heard of this before but I guess it all depends on your care trust, how much funding they have available and how many apply. I was lucky in that once I got funding approved I started pretty much straight away. Interested to see others experiences. Is there anything else you can try in the meantime?

Hi Melanieh

My list was 22 months. We got our first apt after 20 months. But we had been asked if we wished to change to another areas waiting list.

Yeh think I was 22months but they took it from was first seen so leavese with 17months to go, yeh a signed a form saying a would travel to edingbrugh if space came available xx

That the choice I had but decided against that as it would add too much time into our travelling as we live south of Glasgow.

Give the staff at GRI a call and see where you are on the list. I started doin that from middle of last year. Fingers crossed maybe will meet you some day in waiting room.

We had our first cycle at end of last year which resulted in no fertilisation. We back at GRI next month to start our other cycle. To get icsi this time.

I'm in peterborough. You get seen here virtually straight away. My friend was referred for IVF in October. She began her treatment in jan. Could you try a different area. 17 months seems so long. It's unfair to have a lottery postcode.

Hi Melaineh,

I have been on the list for what seems like years. I went on last May and have been told it will be nov 2014 before I could be seen. The wait I'm finding is the worst thing in the world. I hope you don't have to wait too much longer. xxx
