Good luck.

Are you not choosing which clinic you will be using? When we paid for private, we chose the clinic as we were paying.

If you are paying, then you should choose!

You wouldn't go into a shop and buy something that you didn't want just because the assistant told you to. You're paying and it's up to you who you use.

I'd ring round the clinics in your area and ask if they are having open evenings, most IVF clincs do and take it from there.

PM me if you want to ask anything about IVF and what happens.

Thanks hun, i have just rung the dr's and they just had a look on the system and said ah yes we've sent the letter for ivf on the NHS ................. Well i have just gone off my head I got the contact details for the only other clinic they refer to(private), i have rung them and they told me that its un acceptable for them to be messing about like this and that i should go up there and see them in person and get them to fax it accross to them today Si i said i'd go up there and try, the lady on the phone said ''Be firm with them''

Good for you!

It's hard enough having to go for IVF without being messed about first.
