gp referral for fertility

[calcium123]

Hi me and my partner have been visiting his local hospital where we were told we qualify for nhs funded fertility treatment. However the actual process of being referred is seeming so long! We made an app where they were confused and said the hos may have already refered us after contacting the hos they said it was defo the gp job to do it. After calling our gp back they said we have 100 people in front of us to be referred until we r looked at!!! Is this normal how long did anybody wait to be referred and was it easy. Very frustrated would love to hear back
