Hiya,
I was just wondering if anyone here is being treated at St. Mary's in Manchester. I've been on the waiting list for 18 months now and I phoned the hospital today to see how things were going - waiting list wise.
Anyway, like they always say, the list's is 2 to 3 years.
But, a couple of girls I know were referred for treatment after about 15 to 18 months - so I'm hoping it will be the same for me.
Has anyone else been lucky enough not to have to wait two years?
Thanks!
love clairex
afraid i cant help u, but have u read angela's post (feeling seriously
*****ed off) one of the girls suggest checking with other clinics
to see what there waiting lists are like. I hope u get some answers
as the waiting must be very hard.

Sorry to hear you are waiting so long...its so unfair but even within one clinic waiting times can vary because it depends on the health authority funding your treatment
We have finally got to the top of the list at St Mary's and are currently on 2ww from today, but I did get impatient waiting for two years... it doesn't help that if you can afford a cycle privately whilst you are waiting that they stop your NHS funded attempts.
Try and keep positive, I know how fustrating it is!
Love Vanessa
I am at st mary's and started tmt on 27th dec after a nearly 4 yr wait, i was due to start last may but was taken ill on holiday (which was suppose to be a break before we began tmt !!)
When i 1st went on the list in dec 2000 they told me that we would have to wait 3yrs, i think it all depends on the health auth thats funding it.
I am still injecting, i seem to be taking a long time for things to be doing there magic, but hopefully it will all work out in the end.
Good luck clare for when you do start
Love

I am at St Mary's and we were told it was a 3 year waiting list, we only had to wait for about 18 months at the most, when we got the letter to ask us to go for our 1st consultation i thought it was a wind up but it wasn't! we had 3 cycles of iui last year the 1st one had to be abandoned the other 2 were unsuccessful, we haven't had treatment since august last year but that is because at the moment i don't feel strong enough but we'e hoping to start again soon.
