hey smiler..i do think IVF is a long process if u dont know what is wrong..it takes a few yrs ttc'ng naturally,then medication of all kinds,then change drs until u've had enough n start looking into other options...and these ends we dont hve waiting lists as it is all private.and also most p'ple will hve a condition/s(lap,HSG,bcpills,egg/sperm donors etc) to treat b4 starting IVF...i;ve done all that!so it is quite long...going into details just made me realize how lucky we r that we dont hve to deal with most of those..
