hello,
long story short, i have PCOS, DH SA normal, TTC #1 for 2yrs 8mnts, been seeing gyno for 2 yrs 1 mnth, finally got referral for IVF after MONTHS and months of pushing for one.
so we got our letter with our appointment through 4 days ago and we have forms (lots of forms) to fill out, our appointment is in 3 weeks and i couldn't be happier that we have gotten this far. but i am worried. i have no idea about what happens at this consultation. my mind is blank about questions to ask and what we should know before we go for our consultation. and there are all these statistics that have come in the pack they sent and i have no idea what would relate to us!
i would love it if i could get some advice from someone that has been through it or is going through it. i have done a lot of research about IVF but there is not much out there about the initial consultation and what happens after that. i know that there is a wait after the apt to when you actually start treatment, but what happens at the apt and between apt and treatment? do they have an information seminar type thing or an open evening? is there tests that we need to go through before the approve us suitable for treatment? how do we know if we are getting funding or not and if we are, then for how many rounds?
i should say that we are getting treated at ninewells in dundee scotland, but live in the western isles of scotland.
thank you for your time and i hope i have made sense...
