"Expect to wait a long time for responses"

About: Kettering General Hospital / Gynaecology

Infertility treatment appointments take so long to happen, at a time when you are longing for a baby and every week feels like an eternity. 6 weeks in between communication is a very long time! 😔 not even appointments just an answer about whether particular tests need to be carried out

I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with the progress of your referral. We always endeavour to provide an efficient referral to clinic by arranging all required screening tests prior to any appointment. This allows the Doctor/Nurse to have as much information as possible available by the time you are seen to facilitate a prompt start to any appropriate treatment for you and/or your partner. There is of course a time needed to get all these tests done, often running into a number of months. We do also always have a great need for our fertility clinic appointments which do book up very quickly. If you would like to call me directly on 01536 492872 I would be very happy to look into your particular referral and assist in any way I can.

Sarah Munn

Fertility Clinical Nurse Lead
