I'm private becca, public wasn't offered to me and I didn't really realise it was an option? Plus I'm in qld and there isn't anything very good about qld health! I'm not finding the costs too bad yet think its been a few hundred a month after rebates.
Feel free to jump in and ask questions if you're confused we're all happy to help out. I've learnt so much through these threads

When I was first seeing my GP, she gave us a referral and also the phone numbers for both a private and a public clinic. She said that the public one would probably have a longer wait time but the private would be much more expensive. We opted the public and had an appointment within a few weeks. The times we can make an appointment are limited but as far as the treatment goes, I'm happy with our FS so far.
Mam, I am in Sydney.. Are you in Sydney too?

As I haven't started the injections yet, I'm abit confused about alot of the things you girls are discussing but I think it's probably good for me to hang around as in a few weeks, I'll be in the same position and will probably have a much better understanding.

Yeah I'm in Sydney. Westmead is apparently the cheapest place to go and they are supposed to be fantastic! I would have gone there, but there is a clinic that is a minutes walk from my house which has been so convenient! And westmead dont have very flexible hours apparently (that I've heard).. Plus mine do blood tests at 7am so I am only slightly late for work (shift worker but mostly start at 7) so its been really good. Plus I am used to them now.. Haha!

Yeah any questions fire away!!! U will need to be getting used to the lingo soon enough!

I'm in Brisbane, Qfg seeing wazza. Had an appointment today to talk about ivf, while we were there he did a scan and I had 8 excellent size follicles on one side and a couple on the other side, and looks like I ovulated for the first time this year, would of been a perfect cycle. Now we have to come up with the money for ivf which will leave us out of pocket $7700. How is everything going with all u lovely ladies sending you lots of

I know I can't believe it !!!!! There's a first for everything hey LOL
He is going to scan me again Monday & if I haven't ovulated yet he will give me a trigger shot then... But he's hoping it will happen on its own.
