hi, kelly,
my doctor has a success rate of 17% which sound really low but I dont think youll find a much higher rate than this.You do hear of them working here and there but not too often. It is mainly done if you have male problems or unexplained infertility. I had 2 attempts done with no luck. I am now getting ready for in-vitro. My Dr. Has around a 50% success rate with this which is a pretty good statistic if you look into other drs success rates. I guess it would differ with each person depending on your actual problems and your age. By the way whats with the waiting list? I never heard of this. Good luck !
