Hi Disney Baby

Im sorry the TTC journey isnt being very kind to you yet I will do my best to answer what I can....

We were in the boat of unexplained infertility and went through a similar clinic.

1. If it only really costs that much where she goes, what would we have to do first? Like, do we have to make an appointment to see someone and will they get us to do all these tests that we have already done before that only takes MORE time?
I hate to say it but Im gonna ask is DFs mum doing IVF or perhaps something like IUI??? Cause that figure doesnt marry up to any IVF bill we ever got. We started in 2004 and a full IVF cycle then was around $4000- $4500 at that clinic. To see a fertility specialist you will need a referral from your GP and yeah, theyre most likely going to run a few tests so they can get results from their own source iykwim.

2. I guess we would have to ask, but maybe someone will know...how long would we have to wait to start a cycle?
We were able to start as soon as we were ready after the tests were complete. IE. ultrasound, laporoscopy, sperm analysis, bloods etc

3. From what I have heard, they make you go on the pill first? What if I ovulate on my own every month and my hormones are always 'normal'?
My clinic uses the 'pill' protocol and is just how they do it. I ovulate and had hormones all within normal range.

15 months of TTC is well within the spectrum of starting to seek answers. Heres hoping you get some great answers and results soon
