Closed IVF & fertility treatments to be funded by government to allow couples one child

Closed on

There are so many medical conditions that cause fertility problems in men and women, none of these are their fault but we suffer so much trauma and injustice as a result. Enough is enough, we need a fairer system to ensure that everyone who wants a child can have one without being crippled by debt.

It's not just the medical condition the person is dealing with:-
-The pain
-The feelings of guilt and self loathing
-Depression
-Potential operations
-Time off work and financial problems
-Feeling we are letting our partner down
-Then the ridiculous postcode lottery system to fund IVF allowing some people in Britain 3 cycles of IVF, 2 cycles, 1 cycle or nothing at all. This is as ridiculous as deciding who gets IVF by their class and it takes most women over 2 cycles of IVF to fall pregnant
