Fertility referral

How long did it take people to get an appointment at a fertility clinic on the NHS after being referred by their GP? We were referred in November and are still waiting for an appointment. The wait is so difficult

Thanks everyone. Maybe I'm just being impatient but difficult when you are not getting any younger x

We got referred on June (2021) and the first appointment was on July of the year after, after multiple appointments between February and March 2022 that they kept cancelling with no reason. I was then unlucky as when I finally got my first proper appointment, I had a miscarriage the week before so I had to wait 3 more months before starting my tests. On September I did all my tests and on December the doctor put me on Clomid. I understand your frustration as it's so stressful. People will keep saying "don't stress yourself" or "don't think too much" but it's easy to say it, especially when they don't know what we have to go through on a daily basis. I really hope you will get your appointment soon! x
