Definately get your referral to the gyno asap & request the lap

Depending on the Dr and the hospital, the wait may not be that long, but I completely agree with Nic - the sooner you're on it, the less time you're waiting.. and you can TTC in between.

If you're in the public system, it won't cost you - it will most likely be day surgery unless there are any complications.

Nic is right - In sydney we have a public clinic for IVF - where you only pay the gap, which was approx $1500 per cycle - it was run through a big hospital here & the nurses did most of the work (blood tests, scans etc) - you had the FS to do the egg collection & transfer.

I'm not sure if its changed now due to the medicare changes that came into effect from January this year, but I know quite a few girls who have done IVF this way & they have little ones to prove its just as effective

I'm not sure if Vic has a similar run program, but it would definately be something to look at later down the track if you needed to get there.
Hopefully a lap may do the trick as they can flush your tubes when you're under
