I have put this off for far too long

A month isnt that long to wait for an appointment to be honest. All the best clinics are booked up months in advance. Have you been to see your GP yet, there are some tests then can do before you go straight to a fertility clinic. Also, have you been given a diagnoses? Lister for me. Although please remember they are a business. The best places have queues and if you want to see someone top notch you will need to wait (but its worth it!)

Hi Elemis, if you're at IVF stage or want ovarian reserve tests then fertility clinic is probably your best bet. If however, you are at a stage where you want blood tests and you want to discuss fertility issues and be investigated, then i highly recommend you see a good gynae first of all. I made the mistake of going down the fertility clinic route when i really should have gone to see a gynae. The clinic wasn't helpful because I just wasn't at that stage. You need individual attention to begin with.
Sorry if I have got the wrong end of the stick and ignore me if you do want a clinic !

thanks
I have called the Lister, but tbh they weren't really very friendly or explanatory, I'm more confused now! Can't get an appt for another month.

Have called the Bridge centre as it looks like they have cancellation appts, but just left a message on their admissions line.

The Bridge is the only one I can think of south of the River (but its only just as by London Bridge) but there may be others. Most of the private ones are more central London. ARGC and Lister are normally very popular.

you might find it useful to go to www.fertilityfriends.co.uk - there are many postings there about clinics in london (there are several on Harley Street), but that forum should give you some up to date information on clinicsl; prices; what to ask for etc,.
wishing you much luck in your journey .....
