@Amy in the UK. Am paying privately.
I’m in the US and they started IUI immediately upon verifying our reproductive issues. Which from 1st appointment to IUI sperm insertion was 3 months. And when we tried for our second they were willing to start whenever I was ready. Maybe you need a new clinic? Although I must say to even get an appointment at that clinic was a 2 month wait.
That’s a bit bizarre. The private fertility clinic I used did bloods and they came back the same day. They also wanted to start IVF a month after I had the initial consultation. I’d look into another clinic to be honest.
@Naomi seems obvious now you're saying it, but for some reason when they said 6 months, I assumed it would be the same at other places. Will research further
@Amy thanks Amy. That's cheered me up
We went through a private clinic and as above, blood tests generally come back on the same day. We had our initial consultation in January and I wanted to have our first cycle done before we went on holiday (March time) )which we were able to do. It seems really odd you have to wait 2 months just for blood work. By July I was on our second round and pregnant. I wonder if it’s more lack of staff being able to discuss the results with you? Maybe look into another clinic.
@Amy thanks for this. I can ask more pointed questions with this.
Where are you based? Is this going privately?
