Brooke yeah we had 2 put back cause at the end of the day it was up to us. I checked the web site and it still says yes to having 2 put back. When i called there 8weeks ago they asked me would i be doing another cycle in the near future and would i choose to have 2 put back again so im abit confused as to why the change, It almost seems like one rule for one couple and a different one for the next:dunno:. She is fighting them on it and they are taking it to the board. Good on her i reckon, if they changed the rules and the laws then they should change the information packs they send out and there website.
Kaydee good luck with your next BT on monday:pray:

Take it easy and don't push yourself to hard

Hello ladies,

Ive been a long time reader of this thread as im too planning on going through Westmead for IVF. We have an appointment on 15 January with Dr Soo but have been trying to get into Dr Lok instead. We see have MFI so Dr Lok would be better suited i presume. Has anyone had any experience with him? I see he also works other IVF clinics, will he try and get us to go through another clinic even though we want Westmead?

So many questions....we live in Brisbane so will be travelling like others i have seen on here, so stressfull and sometimes i think it would be easier to go up here. Then i come back to reality and realise 10 tries at Westmead would be like 1 in Brisbane. I think Westmead would mean less stress if it doesnt work first go, i would hate to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak. Right now we are in the midst of Urologist appointments etc so all test will be done before we get to an FS. So right now im patiently waiting waiting...WAITING!

Also, I read on here about them no longer letting you have 2 embies transfered :doh:, that was so my plan as putting 2 in would mean a higher chance of pregnancy and less chance of having to travel back down to Sydney. Does Westmead encourage flare/antagonist cycles...i really really really do not want to be on the pill!

Anyways ladies, good luck & thanks for reading!
