To ask how long the NHS wait is for IVF and where to go for private treatment?

Just that really. Any ideas?

My gp said 6-12 months but obviously could vary.

I don't know whether to rely on this and therefore just go private?

In which case where to start for a reputable provider as I've been scammed by fertility doctors in the past so a bit wary.

Where in the country are you? We have been referred to NHS fertility clinic (for ovulation induction, not IVF). Online on the hospital website it said a 26 week wait for 1st appointment, but when the letter came, it is actually 3.5months between GP referral and appointment.

It depends where you are. I would 100% go private. The Lister Clinic in London was 1st class for us. Not local but worth travelling. Good luck x
