We have been TTC for round 2 years now and due to my DF having a LSP we were referred to FA and are now on the public waiting list (18-22months) for IVF.
We have been told that you get 2 public funded cycles. I was wondering has anyone had a sucess from the 1st cyle of IVF or do you need to have more than one cycle? Also does anyone know how fast the waiting list moves? |

Hi ya
We had success with our first IVF cycle and still have 2 frozen embies. The waiting time might be longer where you are but here in chch we waited about 9 months. 
Good luck |

Unfortunately the waiting list is as long as it is, as your DHB will only do as many IVF's as they are allowed.
That is a really long wait - where are you? In Wellington it's currently 11 months. |

Oh Rach - that is so long. Is there any possibility you can pay for a private round?
I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if you aren't successful on your first publicly funded round, the wait for the second one is not so long, though I guess this varies from area to area too. |

We have been thinking bout paying for our own but it would me getting a loan which we didn't really want to do, as with one income plus a mortgage, it would be quite a strain i think.
i did buy a lotto ticket, fingers crossed there, otherwise we are happy to wait after all they say good things take time
