Hi PrincessNash...I see you are over here too now. You very kindly replied to my thread on IG. I am due to have my consult tomorrow (Fri nite) and will update you when I get my list. Have you been waiting long? I'm hoping to cycle in July so I guess time is of the essence from here on in. Sela xx

Hi Sela I'm glad you have come over to this site. I had my consultation on the 14th march and want to cycle in July. Just wanted to get the info so I can move along. Hmmm will see what happens. Good luck with your consultation and do let me know if you get your list. Are you cycling with Dr Potter?xxxx

Thank you for the welcome Nuthinbutpink. So very glad to be here. That other place I have come from was really testing my patience ;-)

Hi Princess-Nash. Yes hoping to cycle with Dr P. Once my DH agreed to do this I felt HRC was my best option. I am 39yrs old so I feel that I don't have the time (reproductively speaking) to pursue treatment at other clinics which would appear to be less successful. My opinion only of course. I will definitely keep you posted about my progress re: the list and everything else. Sela xx

Hi Prince, during your consult Dr P will gather your information, from there he will decide what pre - testing is required for you. Dr p's co-ordinator will email you with the lab order & with details like, what day you should get tested. So if you are not BF . you can have all those test done with you next period.

So techinically you should be receiving directions from HRC after one week or so once you are done with the consulation.

Hi and welcome! I think it was a week or two after my consult that I received testing orders. It's been almost two years since my HT journey so my memory is a little hazy.

Thank you ladies. I will wait a little longer. HRC is the only choice for me at the moment. I haven't even looked at any other clinics. Had my mind set since 2007. I really hope Tracey emails me soon. Xxx

If you are expecting your AF any time soon, I would leave a voice message & email her about your periods date, so that she can consider as 1st priority. Also i would start taking some good prenatals +extra folic acid & DHA supplements.
