Petition Free IVF treatment for women with diagnosed fertility problems.

Around 1 in 6 couples can have difficulty conceiving. Having a diagnosis of endometriosis from the age of 22 and trying to conceive for 5 years, IVF treatment on the NHS was refused due to my partner already having a child from a previous relationship.

More details

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that women aged 23 to 39 with fertility problems should be entitled to three cycles of IVF but those who have a partner with a child have to pay up to £6,500 per cycle which is unfair to women who are child-less.
