Violet: I'm so sorry you're getting lost in the shuffle. Stand up for yourself girl! Are you in Calgary or Edmonton because there are only 2 clinics in Alberta. If you're in Calgary then go to this website:

http://www.regionalfertilityprogram.ca/index.php

Call them, NOT your doctor. Your doctor is not responsible for making the appointment for you. What happen is, they fax a referral request- that's it! Then the clinic calls you directly to make the appointment. Call them, push the button for reception and you'll get a voice mail. Leave a message asking them to give you a call because you just found out your family doctor had a really old phone number for you and you're scared they sent the referral with the wrong one and won't ever be able to get ahold of you. Spell your name slowly on the voice mail. They will call you back... This happened to me and when they called back the said "never heard of you" because somehow they never got the original fax from my doctor. Thankfully I had only waited 1 month before calling.

I'm sorry if I sound bossy, I don't mean to be, I'm just trying to help. I think you'll understand once you go to the clinic and see how painfully unorganized they are.... I know they try but they have so many patients that no one person has a "special" case. You need to stand up for yourself, it's hard enough to get your first meet and greet, we waited 7 months where they sat with us for 7 minutes and sent us away for 12 more weeks. The sooner you get in the better... don't rely on your doctors office to make the arrangements for you. Good luck :-)
