Waiting time for public funding

When i was accepted for public funding i was allocated to fertility plus. I got the call saying i was accepted in about September 2006, had orientation in November 2006 and was booked in for February 2007 for treatment.

I would go by what the clinic says as they have a better idea, also people cancel (i did, and the receptionist told me that that a couple of others also cancelled in my month) and so others move forward quicker.

Good luck

The orientation appt is where you see the nurse who explains the process and gives you a date for treatment, phone numbers etc, you also see a councellor who talks to you about the stresses, emotions etc. You also see a doctor who goes through the whole process again. It took about an hour and a half all up.

ginger - how long did it take after you started fertility plus to get onto the list?

(just thinking ahead incase that happens to us) - my GP will be referring me to fertility specialist after Feb if still not preg by then)

emachan - we jumped the queue vis a vis specialists by paying privately right up until diagnosis which I really recommend (2 visits, which didn't cost too much - less than $200.00 each) and the second visit was the one where it was determined we qualified for public funding, and our application went in within days. I think we got the letter from Fertility Plus advising we were on the list a couple of weeks after that, which was in July, and our orientation appointment came up in December, with our cycle being set down for March.

ginger what did they go through at the orentation appointment?

thanks ginger
