Always reading about peeps front loading, so what's the best thing to do. All input welcome. Thanx

Good luck anyway

The address details etc for the clinic to send on the documents and xrays are printed on the medical forms with instructions etc.
I would print them off so you can see the type of medical history information they will require (very indepth).

Just finished printing them off myself, we've got our med's tomorrow. Wish I'd started earlier - there's 5 of us going and each one is 9 pages long. Late night for me then. (I wonder if you can be turned down for generally looking like s**t?) :scared:
Not tried attaching anything before so I hope it works.
Cheers!
