Good news!

Hi all!

Finally some good news. Am on the first day of my sun holiday but was on email watch so wasn't truly relaxed...until now!. Just got an email to say have been accepted for NHS IVF/icsi funding.

Over the moon!

Long road ahead I know but this is one big stepping stone we have managed to cross. I'm sure I'll be back on with many questions in due course.

There isn't waiting lists on our chosen clinic so hoping it won't be long till we see them. What can we expect in this first appointment?

Thanks all xxx

Hi allieb21. Good luck with the acupuncture. Hearing some positive feedback from ladies using this form of alternative therapy. Always let your specialist know that you are having this, just to make sure it doesn't interfere with any prescribed treatment. Diane

Hi allieb21.

That's great news. Me and the wife are quite advanced from that stage now

(although treatment has not started yet), what I recall is you'll get seen by the consultant, he'll discuss various tests you may have had upto this point, and will arrange for both you and your partner to have further tests done.

Please use this opportunity in asking as many questions as you feel the need to. We had a list prepared which we got of Diane Arnold on this group.

Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

Great news Allieb! All clinics are different with their timing but if there's no waiting list it could be within a month or two depending on your cycle - have a lovely holiday! x x x

Lots of paperwork to fill on. Probably test you for hiv etc. Will take blood tests. You should get a protocol.
