Finally received approval for funding! Now where to book?

[Piapea]

Hi!
I got my letter today to say that my funding request for IVF has been approved. If anyone out there has recently had IVF in the south west-Bristol or Bath - and could recommend a clinic or share their experience, I would be so grateful.
Also if anyone knows anything about wait times, please leave a comment.. thanks😊

Hello! I know your post is a few months old but I'm also in Bristol area and waiting on my NHS IVF funding letter. How long did yours take? Which clinic did you choose? We will be choosing BCRM. Have you started your IVF procedures yet? I hope everything is going well for you!

Hi!
We went with the BCRM too. I had my IVF cycle in September because we had to wait on a generic test to come back. This was the only thing that caused a hold up. I rang once my funding had been approved and there was no wait, they said I could start on the next cycle.
The experience has been very good even though that cycle ended in a BFN. I have 4 more embryos in the freezer and an having another transfered next week.
My doctor and all the nurses have all been really friendly and professional. I think the thing that gives me most confidence is that I never felt like they were trying to upsell or get me to buy add ons and were really honest about the odds and outcomes.
Good luck with booking in your cycle, please come back on here and let me know how you get on x

Hello both. I just noticed this thread and I'm at the BCRM too! I had my egg collection yesterday and it was a really positive experience. The nurses are all absolutely wonderful. IVF is mentally and physically gruelling but the BCRM staff have made it easier because they're all so lovely.

Very best of luck to both of you ❤️
