Title: whats the waiting time for sperm storage on NHS?
Post by: EmmaYui on February 21, 2019, 01:11:22 AM
Hey sorry, I was Again wondering what is the average waiting time for sperm storage on the NHS? (or how long would it take if I was to personally pay using the NHS?)

I got my hormones yesterday... I can't even take them due to not sperm storing yet 😑 so close yet so far..

I really want kids in the future and I know I'll be waiting a while but whats an estimate timeframe with the nhs?
I've messaged GenderGP also still waiting on a reply.

Thanks ❤️

I've been waiting about 8 months and have gotten no where on the NHS. As far as I can tell you need to have had your appointment at a GIC before they will refer you for it. Privately I suspect it would be weeks but then there is the cost on the other side as well. I'm don't know if the NHS would take that on or not.

I can only imagine how frustrating it is to being that close!!!
