How long did you wait from referral to hearing from IVF clinic

[waitingforourmiracle]

Hi All. Had our final appointment with gynaecologist Monday last week and he advised he would be writing a letter that same day to send to the IVF clinic, I was just wondering how long people waited until they heard from the clinic? I understand funding needs to be approved but unsure how long this process takes? North West based.

I heard within 2 weeks. I was surprised how quick that was and don’t know if that is typical. But I wouldn’t expect to be waiting for months on end. Good luck.

@vincettenoir that's amazing! Can I ask where you are based? I hope it's the same for me, I feel like I've done enough waiting now haha!

Hello! I was referred around 3 weeks ago and they said it would be 26 weeks max 😊 how are you feeling about it all? Xx

Was that for the IVF clinic or from your GP to gynae? I'm feeling every emotion!! Scared, nervous, excited, hopeful the list is endless haha!! How are you xx

@waitingforourmiracle we waited around a year for the initial gynae appt and then they’ve said it would be 26 weeks - so another 6 months.
Im feeling the same! It’s such a weird situation to be in isn’t it 😅 xx

@Yolo23 the waiting is awful!! I wish we could speed up time! You'll have to keep me updated if you hear anything before then xx

@waitingforourmiracle I will 🥰 hopefully yours won’t be too long either 🤞are you telling anyone? I decided to tell my boss the other day just because we get on so well and I know I may need support with time off etc as my role is very demanding xx

@Yolo23 my family and closest friends know that we will be having IVF but not planning on telling anyone when we start, hopefully try and keep a little bit of the surprise element! Xx

@waitingforourmiracle ah that’s lovely. I had to tell my boss in work the other day - she was awesome and said she’d support with whatever we need. Only one close friend knows with us but same as you, I don’t think we will say once it’s started. I’ve held off with family as We’re so close and it’ll prompt a pile of concerns and questions love them. They’re so caring and would want to make sure I’m ok 😂 xx

@Yolo23 it's so much better knowing you have that flexibility with work! I came home to a letter from my gynae consultant yesterday that he had also sent to create so hopefully when they receive that they will get the ball rolling! 🙏xx

@waitingforourmiracle woop that’s great news 🥰 any progress is good progress! And it makes you feel more in control doesn’t it. Hopefully a speedy process for you too my lovely x

@Yolo23 you too!! Keep me updated 💗
