    Non-city patients doing IVF

    Hi everyone,

    I'm interested in hearing from anyone who lives in a regional area or country town and has to travel a long way to their IVF clinic. We're about to book in for our first cycle and live 5 hours from our clinic. Today I was told that unlike a city patient, my USs and BTs would not be included in my fee and I'd have to pay for them myself. I can't work out how this is fair - seems like it's favouring city patients or penalising country patients (whinge whinge, I know ). So I know this is a bit general, but I'd like to hear other people's experiences - do you drive/fly to appointments? How do you fit the travelling in around work? Does your clinic tailor things to you (ie, phone consults, mailing drugs)? Anything else I should know/consider? Thanks a lot ladies, I look forward to hearing from you.
