Waiting for the letter

[Tomorrow_1]

Any ideas on how long it will take for us to receive our letter of referral to a fertility clinic? Our GP said we should expect it in a couple of weeks, but that was a month ago.

Hi Tomorrow_1 That's the never ending question I'm afraid. You should here fairly soon, but if you know who you are to see or where you are being seen, you could try contacting the clinic or the specialist's secretary and jog their memory. Hope you don't have to wait too much longer, and good luck when you go. Diane

Mine said 2 weeks and if not heard to ring the clinic which I did on the. 13th day (as 14th day was Easter Friday) and luckily I did as they was awaiting for the NHS gyno to call me due to probs with hubbys paperwork. Sorted that out straight away and got the appointment for consultation,

So it maybe worth giving them a call to make sure they have received your referral,

Wishing you lots of luck on your journey xx

Thanks - very useful advice. But I don't know which clinic we've been referred to. The GP never said anything to that effect and I never thought to ask. I suppose I have to ring my GP to find out those details??

I got to choose my one what area are you in as you could ask on here what could be your nearest clinic,

I'm in kent and had the choice of 3 but my nearest has closed so I went for tonbridge,

Your prob have to ring your gyno to find out on what clinic your going to as it was my gyno that Sent my referral not my gp although they did copied my gp on all my letters xx
