IVF at St George's, Tooting

[Stras]

Hello everyone – I've done a search on this, but there doesn't seem to be anything recent.

I am due to start treatment at St George's in July (or at least, that's when our first appointment is! We've been around the houses a bit). Has anyone had any experience of being treated there? My only experience of St George's is a trip to A&E and, erm, being born there which I wasn't really aware of at the time.

Anyway, very keen to get cracking as I've had a load of tests, an op, and general misery about age (35) and unexplained infertility, so I really hope St George's are nice and it all can go as well as possible.

Thank you I’ve actually decided to go with Kings Hospital so hoping there good! May I ask why you didn’t qualify for NHS IVF? I don’t know what the criteria is but really hoping I qualify due to financial reasons x

I was under the St George's fertility clinic and they were great. The only thing is they are a part-time unit so only open a few days a week and my understanding was that because of this they do not do IVF. They can do all the investigations and non-IVF treatments, but if you qualify for NHS funded IVF I think you would be transferred to the St Helier or Croydon fertility units. We did all our investigations through St George's and had 3 cycles of clomid and 3 cycles of tamoxifen there, then went for self-funded IVF as we don't qualify for NHS funded IVF.

Hey I've been referred to St Georges in Tooting and was wondering what your experience had been like there? :)
