Ok, not too sure who can answer this question, probably either Lou or Ginger, mind you i'll probably get the answer tomorrow.
Once you've decided to go private for IVF, what is the time frame for actually starting the treatment? Yeah I know i'm so impatient.....

It's the start of the next cycle from my understanding. So, if you've got say 2 weeks to run on this cycle, I guess you can start in 2 weeks!
Check with Lou though ...she'll actually know! From memory, she started her cycle really soon after seeing the specialist. ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

And as for when we can start Private IVF - Dr F said that once we decide to go private it would be up to about 6 weeks before we got everything up and running.
Also, Lou is correct in another post saying going private & getting pregnant doesn't effect your chances of being on the public waitlist. Only if you get pregnant without assistance, so even if we get pregnant on clomid it is 'with assistance' we can still go public for IVF later. |

That's good to know ...it gives me an idea how much time to allow when we look to booking our appointment with FA to start IVF. ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Hi Mellybelly - sorry, I only just saw this topic...
I decided to go private on a Friday and started treatment the following Monday! I think alot of that was luck and good timing, and we'd already had all the necessary tests. Public wait list in Auckland was about 12 months... ------------- Lou http://www.babysfirstsite.com">
