My clinic: Kings (London) - applied to HFEA yesterday and expect to hear back about their application by the end of this week. Awaiting a phone call or email to book a baseline scan before I can start FET.

Once anyone gets contacted by their clinic to be booked in to start their treatment, please let us know on here to see which clinics are up and running first!

I'm not expecting any updates yet as the HFEA only started accepting applications yesterday May 11th but I'm hoping they get the ball rolling asap!

I know treatment not starting straight away but this is progress xx

MrsLouB · 12/05/2020 14:27

to be honest treatment shouldnt be long behind as if there had it all in place prior to the approval shouldnt be long

Ahh that’s great so many clinics are getting the go ahead. I think mine will still be a little while yet as they mentioned some dr’s still hadn’t been redeployed back to the fertility clinic. They said they weren’t sure how they were going to prioritise once they do reopen

ChatWithMe · 13/05/2020 14:21

Yeah even though Kings has the go ahead I know their doctors at hospital on-site to help and just hoping the demand has reduced so they can book appointments. It must be stressful to be a doctor, nurse etc at a time like this.

mine has been given the go ahead Thames valley but as it was so quick they haven't informed anyone yet but will be open to do treatments from monday and was told i can go ahead on my next cycle end of this month x

Jac119 · 13/05/2020 16:48

@MrsLouB That’s amazing!! Are you having ivf? Or a fet? You must be so excited x

Cisco2 · 13/05/2020 17:17

MrsLouB · 13/05/2020 18:00

Hey @Jac119 thanks is our 3rd go - 2nd and last FET x

Kt777 · 14/05/2020 07:10

Good to see they are reopening still waiting for mine - Barts St Paul’s

seven201 · 14/05/2020 08:50

Mine (care) has approval. I'm hoping I can start my FET at the end of this month as it was stopped not long after starting when lockdown started. Good luck to everyone!

ChatWithMe · 14/05/2020 09:48

Thanks seven201 same to you!

Hopefully Kt777 and Cisco2 all clinics get approval by next week.

Every day I'm like where's my email/call to start my treatment?! Patience is a necessity in this game....
