Hey - I’m with Care. I did mine in a different order, but first you’ll have an appointment where they’ll do some tests and an internal scan (which goes up inside you!) They’ll count your eggs etc and go through your medical history.

Second appointment will be with the consultant who will explain what treatment you’ll be on and a rough start date.

I had done my internal scan and all other tests with a different clinic so I went straight from that to speaking to the consultant at Care rather than have the initial appointment, but brought all the tests results and scans with me.

I had the scans where they count follicles and test AMH, husband had a sperm test and then the consultant forms your protocol with that information. My consultation was on the phone rather than an in person one for some reason, my husband needed to be there too listening. You have another baseline scan once you start your protocol after cycle day 1 (if short protocol) once meds have arrived.

Some areas of th4 county dont fund NHS IVF if you are 38 /( over 37)

Tis quite a postcode lottery
