meet with Mac locally and see what he says - for preliminary testing you may as well stick to the local clinics - if you need IVF scope out the timing with the Gippsland clinic and talk to him about travelling to Melbourne. in all honesty, after one cycle, they'll make you wait at least 4 weeks - in that time, you meet with Mac again, to work out what happens next. if you're going to down regulate (pill etc) again before next transfer, you'll be on that for four weeks, which fills two of your two to three month break - so it might be better to stay local. just my opinion - travelling to Melb was only a diff of about 30 mins for us, but sale was far more convenient, esp for scans and things - they booked around us kwim - if you go to Sale then want FET earlier than the clinic dictates, you can sign documentation to arrange to have embryo's moved to melbourne

ummmmm, maybe get onto Amanda and ask what the go is with a counselling appointment too - the counsellors don't go to sale often, so you may want to try to get an appointment early as it is compulsory for you to have counselling before embarking on IVF. we managed to get our appt (in Clayton) two days before we kicked off our first full IVF cycle
