Thanks for your replies everyone...I acknowledge I am feeling a bit panicky, so maybe going a bit overboard with "do it now!!"

Thanks for your reply Pholi - it was good to hear how your experience was and that the few weeks was helpful to absorb everything and get things done...I guess I'm freaking out that even though my appt is in January, I may not get to start for a few months...I think this is just part of my own emotional rollercoast with being faced with needing to go through IVF....I think I'm tired of being disappointed every month, and now that I see a possible light at the end of the tunnel, I want it now. Thanks for your answer it calmed me down!
Good luck with your journey....

Hiya, I am with QFG, who is your FS?

I didn't need mandatory counselling. We got a SA done for DH right at the beginning. We didn't have a nurses appt for the first IVF cycle because it was an IUI that was changed to IVF at the last moment. With the second IVF, we had booked a nurses appt for CD3. All I did is ring the clinic, say I was CD2 and wanted to start IVF and that I needed a nurses appointment, and I was in later that day.

I hope this helps, QFG have been fantastic to us.
Hey Maruschke - I am in Brisbane and my FS is Dr Keeping...he has been fabulous so far, a very reassuring man which has been great for me. And the ladies in the office have also been wonderful. We will have to go straight to ICSI/IVF due to male infertility issues - unfortunately very low sperm count with everything...We have been asked to do one more sample but the FS doesn't expect any change.. It's good to hear that you've had a great experience with QFG... Hope you have a fantastic outcome soon!!

Hi, I am through CFC and we had our app with FS where it was decided on ivf with a case or urgency to start asap. I had my nurse app the following week and now I am just waiting for my next cycle as I got AF at the time of all those appointments. So ours will be about 6 weeks from when we saw FS to the start of our meds. We are on a 3 weeks cycle so we should hopefully should know the outcome mid feb.
Good luck and I hope you can get started soon.
Baby dust :-)
Hi Kerbear - that gives me hope...as I said before, I think I'm just scared that I won't be able to start for a few months - that they can't "fit me in" or something like that...I think I just need to give myself a slap...Good luck for next cycle!!

Thanks everyone for your calming replies
