I don't know which state you're in or if it's an Australia wide thing, but we had to have a compulsory
counselling session before starting ivf. They explain how the whole thing works etc, and give you a chance
to talk about how you're holding up if you feel like it! I remember that slowed us down a bit as we had to
wait for an appointment. My specialist also made me have a rubella shot, as my immunity was on the low
side, which meant we weren't allowed to ttc for a month after that.

Good luck!
