Hi ladies.

So last week we had out 1st appointment with NHS glasgow and we were told we would be starting treatment in Aug / Sep time however we didn't have to complete any forms and sign anything. Has anyone else not had to ? Xx

We signed our forms just before the cycle started.

Have you had all your tests etc done yet?

From going to our 2nd appointment for the results of the tests to nurse consultation it was around 6 weeks later

Hello. Yes had the tests done before the consultation so Just a waiting game now I think xx

Ours was very quick! When we got the funding letter saying we had been approved, our first ivf appt was about three weeks later. They sent us a welcome pack with consent forms in the post as well as a list of blood tests that we needed done. We got those done and the consent forms signed before we went and as we had our first appt on day 1, we begin down regging on day 21 of this cycle, now 2 weeks tomorrow! Wishing you lots of luck xx

Wow that was quick. He doesn't think we will hear anything until at least Aug 🙁 xx

The first appointment we had once we had been referred was a 'booking appointment' which involved going through LOADS of forms and information. We had to take ID and sign/fill out a lot of stuff. It took about an hour. The appointment was with a nurse too. She also explained how we would do injections etc when we were ready to start them. Maybe check whether appointment 1 is a booking appointment? X

Strange we didn't have to sign anything. It was basically just to say they would "give it a go" now on another waiting list until at least Aug 😐 xx

Hi! My first go was nhs with Glasgow and we didn’t do consent forms until starting treatment after waiting six months from our booking in appointment, previous to that we were about 18months to get to that!! Good luck xx
