How long did your first NHS fertility clinic appointment take?

[sunshinecitrus1]

Myself and partner have just been referred to the fertility clinic via our GP. Has anyone recently been in the same position? I know it will vary in different areas of the country but I am just wondering how long it took for you to get your first consultation via the NHS from the initial referral?

From referral to appointment around 6-8 months - y the time ready to start about 18 months I’d say. Found out I was pregnant the week before starting.

@usererror99 Thanks for the reply. So 6-8 months for initial appointment and then 18 months total to start treatment? (Even though you didn’t need it in the end 😊) You had some tests in between?

@sunshinecitrus1 for me I think I was referred in the July, first appointment in October and started meds for first egg collection end of December, so it was really pretty quick all in all - but we had had some tests privately in the months leading up to that, which I think sped up time from appointment to starting treatment

Hiya I had my 4th miscarriage 3 weeks ago, EPU referred us. I got my initial appointment in for 7th of September. We’re based in central Scotland.

Does anyone know if I would be entitled to progesterone if I fall pregnant again before the appointment? I seem to have no problem falling pregnant it’s the staying pregnant that’s the issue.

Sorry I thought this was recurrent miscarriages clinic apologies about my last post.
