Ferrals - As Sara said, if you are going with SIVF, there is no waiting list. As soon as you have the gene isolated you should be able to run with your next cycle. But you do need to have had your initial consult with your SIVF FS and there may be some paperwork to get out of the way in advance. Your FS may also want to do some BT's in advance so they have an idea of what dose of FSH they should start with for you. The classic cycle is a "down regulated cycle", so you will probably commence the pill (Provera) around Day 19 for seven days of that next menstrual cycle. The following month is when you will have the actual egg collection (and hopefully, transfer). Like you, I am not based in Sydney, so I did most of my cycle with my local (satellite) clinic. But PGD is not offered here, so I had egg collection, biopsy and transfer performed in Kent St. All up I had three PGD cycles. The first was cancelled = free. The second two involved transfer and came in under $4K each as I had passed the Medicare safety net. I had chromosonal testing (x8) so the cost may slightly vary compared to your genetic PGD test. Sorry, do not remember the exact amount. HTH, WTH
