Well, we first made our appointment around January and the fertility specialist was away. Once you get in, they do an bt's to test your immunisations and if your DH has sperm antibodies. They also do an ultrasound to check your uterus and ovaries - this is when I found out I had polycystic ovaries.

Depending on what cycle the fs decides to put you on, it will either be day 2 or day 21 of your cycle that you begin. So your first monthly cycle is counted out because of BT's and scan. It all depends on what time of the month you see fs and when you start your monthly cycle. Also, I had to have a break between my cycle is April and May ie. I couldn't start straight away in April on Day 2 of my cycle, I had wait until Day 2 in May. So all up, it took 6 months - although it officially started at the end of March (doing injections etc.) and we had a break between April/May - so it was 3 months of actually 'trying' iykwim.
