How long did it take for your fertility doctor appt?

5 Sep, 2008  Fertility

After nine months of trying, I called to schedule an appointment with a fertility specialist (I am over 35). My appointment was booked for Feb 18, but I just got a call that the doctor isn't available that day, and the next available appointment is Feb 26. I know it's only a week, but right now it feels like an eternity to me!

How hard was it for you to get an appointment for an initial conuslt with a fertility doc? Should I quit whining about three weeks?

That's about right. Are you consulting with any other reproductive endocrinologist? Keep your options open and see a couple of them to see which one fits you better.

    Hi

    I'm really pleased for you that you can get seen so quickly. There's a 6 month waiting list for each appointment at my clinic (they can change appointments for you 4 times, but if you need to change, you go back on the 6 month waiting list)

    Fortunately I've been referred for treatment at a different hospital and it's much quicker once in the system.

    I hope all goes really well for you. It's been a year for me since I first started going for examinations, and I get my first IUI treatment this Friday. That "not being able to wait" feeling - I'm right with you, Haven't been able to concentrate all day!
