Waiting for public funding - Wellington FA's?

Hi poppy.
In 2012 we went on the donor waiting list (for sperm) and the specialist told us the wait was about 12mths BUT the nurses said it was 6mths. We got the call up after about 5mths to pick and it was bang on 6mths to start treatment which was basic inseminations.
Those didn't work so we were recommended to have ivf. Again the doctor told us 8mths waiting time however that same week the co-ordinator rang to organise it because we were down for my next cycle! So now half the time I never know who to believe. I ended up putting the ivf off until January due to my job and now waiting a couple cycles to replace the embryo.

I guess basically if it was a co-ordinator or nurse who told you the wait time then it's probably pretty right otherwise no harm in double checking. Also you could ask to be contacted should there be a cancellation.

Good luck :)

Hi again.

I live up in the central plateau but Wellington is our nearest clinic. There are some other ladies on here from Wellington who might be keen to meet up - hard for me living so far away :)
I had ivf January just gone but over stimulated so they delayed embryo transfer.

I guess if that's what the letter says then that's the wait. Sucky as that is! Have you got something you can occupy yourself with during that wait. For me even though our wait was shorter I got right into getting fit (running and circuit training). I'm a teacher so work made time go fast because before I knew it a month had passed etc.

Can't believe how many teachers are on here. If you ever feel like hanging with a group a girls going through long time struggles pop into ttc 12mths thread :)
