For various reasons my GP has referred us both for basic infertility testing (me - FSH/TSH and progesterone, DH a sperm analysis) He went to book his today, and was told the closest appointment was two months away.

Obviously there's not much we can do about it (and wouldn't it be wonderful if we didn't need it but I am not holding my breath..) but I just wondered if that sort of wait was normal.

That's certainly longer than we had to wait. They do have to spread out the tests though, so they can get to each one while it is fresh (as I understand it) - that is why the men are given an appointment time to arrive with the pot.

That's not normal in my experience. Mine took a week.
