NHS WAITING TIME? COVID-19

[GJ116]

Hey -
I live in North West /Cheshire - (anyone near)? I have been TTC for a few months but do not have periods due to not long recovered from ED. Been put on fertility list since Oct 19 but due to COVID only test I have had is Provera challenge which caused a bleed. Partner not done semen analysis and I have not started other treatment or had scans except one to rule out PCOS

Hey!

Sorry I'm not in an area near you so not much help but didn't want to read and not respond.
In Scotland. Went to GP in Oct 19, referred to fertility clinic and got appointment for Jan 19, back for HyCoSy in Feb 19 was due another appointment in April but cancelled to Covid. Appointment in May and was put on IVF waiting list at that point. Just had 'top of the list' letter in for appointment for Nov 26th to discuss treatment.

It sounds like you should have had least had some tests if through it since Oct since March is when Covid hit and pushed things. Maybe give your clinic a call and check up?

I know! My appointment was originally March but was cancelled due to Covid 19

I'm sorry to hear that :( I would hope they will be getting you in soon!

I was lucky and got my testing in literally just before lockdown so it was just a case of getting on the waiting list during Covid

I’m from the north west and when I went to my gp she did a blood test (day21) and semen sample for my partner which he took to care fertility Chester. All that was pretty quick so maybe go back to your GP. Have they actually made up a referral for infertility and if so which centre? When I spoke to Liverpool women’s in September they were booking in June’s referrals so you should of definitely had an appointment now.
