Sounds like the one of the many we did. We were nhs are you? If you are I'd say just do it you don't want to lose funding. If you're private of perhaps query the need a bit more because I'd imagine a lot of it is to do with checking you've no previous children or ivf treatment on nhs. Hope that helps!

Thank you LHow81 yes I am with the NHS these forms were given to us at our first talk about And immense form filling, this one is for us to sign to say information from our doctors can be accessed at any time, but there is a lot of other information that is really quite confusing. I think when I go back tomorrow for my proper sit down and talk with no form feeling I will ask them bit nervous actually.The lady did say that this appointment tomorrow will take around two hours so need to have my clear head on. Thanks x

We had those forms too... and we're NHS. Your answers should NOT affect your treatment or funding. Some of them are about data protection and some are you just signing consent to agree to have IVF treatment (well it's why you're there!) but they have to show in writing to the HEFA that they are following guidelines and law correctly.

We found the questions about using frozen eggs if husband passes away a difficult question: not only because you don't want to think about that anyway but how do you know....???

If you are unsure don't sign anything until you've spoken to the doctor :-)

Good luck with your consultation: I found it really useful because we finally got a proper diagnosis on our 'unexplained' infertility...

Jsth1979 thanks very much for the information you have given me it's really helped especially your bottom line when you you said they found a diagnose to the

Infertility. is all We want to know to be honest. It's the not knowing that is just not nice at all. I'm very surprised they can find out as I really didn't know that they could have it and explained so that's something I'll be really looking forward to. Thank you again I'll keep you posted. X

Good luck Hun . Xx

MY husband & I sat and filled these forms in last night & we agreed to sharing info with gp, other medical practitioners for our safety only. We did not agree to sharing our information for research purposes.

The question that we struggled on was how long to freeze our embryos for. I didn't want to choose the max as we would be in out 80's and couldn't think of an appropriate time limit?

Thank you Hannah yes I agreed to the same as you but not to research purposes as I didn't think it was necessary I haven't got hand the forms in until tomorrow so will have another flick through to see if there is any changes I feel to make. I'm glad somebody else's thinking fine I thought they were really hard. Thanks again I'll keep you posted x

I felt it was difficult as I do believe research is so important to improve services but it's such a personal experience for us that we didn't feel it appropriate. Good luck with it all! X

Your so right I agree with the research side if it but at the moment I feel quite violated and not very good about what's going on in my health life I can't think about that right now. I start in July as I'm going on holiday soon , so a good relax and then when I come back I will start. They gave me my injection bag yesterday how exciting. My boyfriend said he will do them for me. Bless him. It was so much to take in and I feel I can't remember much.......... Oh we'll it's all part of the process I guess. Xxx

We're hoping to start in June & are due to go to Greece on 1st of June and I now think I'm going to start while I'm in Away! We have our appointment next Wednesday which I think must be the same as you have just been to, do they teach you how to do the injections etc? the thought of the injections makes me cringe though! I think the part in most nervous about is the egg collection! Good luck!! Xx

Oh god yes tha egg collection I'm really scared really. The thought of being put under ohhhhhhh. They did show me how to inject but to be honest I felts bit rushed with that part. Make sure you ask them any questions they were good at this part. Good luck Hun let's keep each other posted we can reall comfort each other. Xxxxxx

Started my injections last night... Husband did first one. I tried tonight's but chickened out and only managed to prick my skin. He took over... After 4 weeks though I reckon I'll get the hang if it!
