Hi jayne :)

I got in to my head to call up the waiting list line to find out how long we had to wait. And i was told that we had three years to wait.

I am sorry to hear that your has been cancelled till 2008. I hope you are well?

You women are amazing! I can't imagine waiting years to get in for an IVF treatment...and here we are writing about the 2 week waits to see if our IVFs worked!

Holy cow...I'd get a collection from family members and jump across the pond to a US facility...I am rethinking the wisdom of national health insurance, Americans for SURE would've put up with waits :lol: :lol:

GOOD LUCK :o

Hi Nicky, no treatments vary in price depending on what you need, we had to do ICSI, which is about £600 dearer than regular IVF at our clinic, plus drugs which ours cost around £1,000. so one fresh cycle with ICSI plus drugs was around £4,000. each Frozen cycle incuding drugs is around £1,000. And to freeze your eggs costs £250 per year. We are classed as a funded cycle not fully private, not sure the difference but i think it may be due to being on the list for a free go. On top of this we have had lots of tests which were all free on the NHS.
hope this helps.
love Jayne

:) Hi Rachel

Thank you for your message and we hope the time flys
Not know much about egg sharing so we have not looked into it.

Take care and we will talk soon
