hi, i know there's a section on here for people living in the uk, but there doesn't seem to be anyone on there, so that's why i'm here.
anyway, i'm looking into going for private IVF, (private i mean we are paying for it ourselves to be seen quicker, otherwise it's free on the NHS, but it's a year waiting list) i just want to know how long you have to wait till you start ivf? like how long till you can start the injections?
i've been told by a clinic in manchester, uk, that for them it's a 6 week waiting list to see the consultant, then we start after that, but don't you have to wait till your next period begins before you start taking the injections?
i'm completely new to this, as you can no doubt tell. so any info about how quickly you get started on the injections would be great. like what days in the cycle do you inject yourself/go for blood tests etc?
we\'re going on holiday in december this year, and i'm wondering whether to put off treatment until we come back so that there are no appointments while i'm away, and there are no injections to take while i'm on holiday too.
what does everyone think?
thanks all, and good luck to everyone in such a stressful and emotional time. i have a long road ahead!
