Hello all
My husband and I have recently discovered that we may have to have fertility treatment (possibly IUI, IVF etc - unsure at this stage).
The issue is, we recently moved from Islington to Waltham Forest - neither of us have changed our GPs to those in Waltham Forest, and are both still registered with GPs in Islington.
Having done a bit of research, it looks like in order to be eligible, you have to have been with a GP in your current area for at least a year.
The question is, should we move GPs?
Do we pretend to still be in Islington (where, apparently, there are only two cycles of IVF treatment, as opposed to WF's three)?
Does anyone have experience of this particular issue, or with postcode-related fertility treatment issues in general?
We are both reeling a bit from the news today, so would appreciate any helpful words of advice you might have - we're in the position of either moving, and having to wait even longer for a treatment that may have a huge waiting list anyhow, or trying to be deceptive about where we live...
Help please!
Thank you
