Hello, I am relatively new to this site and find it a great help. Briefly my story:- Been trying for 9 years, had 4 iui's (3 nhs and 1 self funded)and had 1 bio-chemical which came to nothing, then had 3 attempts at ivf (self funded)but no luck. I have been on the waiting list for nhs ivf treatment for nearly three years and as they are updating the waiting list they have not told me how much longer i have to wait(despite 3 or 4 letters to them). I have polycyctic ovary syndrome and other half is fine. We are both 30 and i am getting very down as the waiting for treatment is killing me, if it was in 3 or 4 months time i think i would wait, if longer i would consider having another self funded attempt. I would like to know if you have been treated at CARU in Cardiff and how many attempts do you get on the nhs. If anybody knows that would be a great help. Thanks Tracey l

hi tracey, i have had all my treatments at the heath under dr amso unfortunatly they didn't work i had 3 iui's and 2 ivf's [that's what your entitled to on the nhs at the heath.] i know how you feel about the wait it's torture! although i was told i had to wait 3 years i was only on the list for 2 years when i was called for my consultation. if there is anything you want to know about the caru clinic you can email me at pboxingglove@aol.com love cath
