QFG Townsville

[JLeigh29]

Hey there Trying to! Dr. Tal said you were freaking out about your appointment. I haven't used QFG Townsville, but I did do our first IVF consult (amazingly, I found out I was pregnant about a week before we booked in to go ahead!).

Anyway, the first appointment was pretty general. They took our photos (suppose so they know what we look like and can greet us by name) and gave us several pages of medical history forms to fill out. They wanted to know any health issues, meds we're on etc as well as our lifestyle e.g. smoking, drinking.

We then went through to a small sitting room with lounges, where a lovely nurse spoke to us firstly about the different types of assisted conception then went step by step through which plan of action would be best for us and why. She had pictures and diagrams and we got a huge information folder too. There was plenty of opportunity to ask questions about time frames, medications and side effects, what to expect etc. She also went through costings. All up we were there for well over an hour. I felt really comfortable. At the end we were given forms for a whole host of blood tests that you need to have done before they can begin (both you and your partner) and some can take up to six weeks to get back.

There was no examination or anything.

Good luck and I hope you get the beautiful end result you are after.
