I posted on here a couple of month's ago as we found out that we have male factor infertility. Since then we've been referred to the assisted conception clinic at our local hospital (Queen Charlotte's in London). The appointment isn't for another couple of months and we're trying to find what the waiting lists are in the area for further investigations and possible treatment. This information doesn't seem to be publicly available so anyone's real life experience would be greatly appreciated, particularly for the London area.
We also may have the option of attending this first appointment privately. However when I spoke to the receptionist she mentioned that you couldn't mix and match the consultant appointments with NHS treatment (this is contrary to NHS guidelines but I appreciate that fertility provision is often different). Has anyone been able to confirm this - I've spoken to both the local and national NHS and neither has been able to clarify.
Sorry for so many questions - any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated as we're really struggling to make decisions at the moment due to lack of information!
