Capn - Pants, Thanks for advice for a referral. However even with a referral you'll only get your medicare rebate back from the consoltations. I suppose every bit helps but it's really the herbs that cost an arm and a leg isn't it? I'm really looking forward to how your first consultation goes. What day are you going? Good Luck!

Oh and thanks for the Health & Fertility matters number in Marobura..

Krisp - I guess Ms Cook has gone up in the world... I did book an appointment with her and it was a 3 month wait. I had to cancel it because I got a big job on that I couldn't turn down so I booked again. I had to go back to the start of the waiting list and was on standby for cancellation which never happened and then two days before I was due for my appointment I had to cancel because work had to send me abroad... I guess she just wasn't meant to be! I have heard wonderful things about her though and my Naturopath speaks highly of her.

Dusty - the only part of this programme (for want of a better word) that you can claim on medicare is the consultations. I may be able to claim that on my private health insurance cover but that's something else I have to inquire about.
Dusty although, the financial side is a big part of our decision there are other reasons that i would like to try Natural Therapy rather than IVF at this moment in time. I have friends that have gone done the IVF route and it's not as straight forward and painfree as outsiders are led to believe.
