    Funnily enough this is the same FS that MIVF recommended I see if I want to be seen locally.

    I'm thinking about making an appointment through his rooms but I'm still tossing up if I should just go to a gyno but I guess at my age (40) I need to not waste time and make a decision on it.

    My major concern with a FS is that they will push for IVF and at this stage I'm not interested in that. My last FS (years ago) was pushing for that from word go even though he could find nothing wrong so I just stopped going.

    Is this FS like that or does he try other avenues first?

    Hey Shazz and Bokkie - snap!! Funny - we have probably passed each other in the waiting rooms along the way! I always smile at the other ladies waiting and i sometimes wonder 'do i know you?'

    Satya - I think it's really important to find a FS who you (and your partner) can establish a great rapport with - and this is more important than how convenient their rooms are. We were always very keen on getting as much intervention and assistance as possible, and he has been very good with this. He is an ECCA specialist and this was important for us, and for this reason we are prepared to endure sometimes long waiting times to see him. Our initial appt took over 2 months to get.

    I can't say - yes, go to him he's great, because i feel you are best finding someone that suits your situation and the way you wish to be treated. As far as that goes he's great for us, and we are very happy with him.
