Hello there.
Feeling rather tearful and naive this evening. Just back from our first IVF consultation and due to my age and scan results, the best treatment plan would cost about 19 thousand pounds.
After a series of miscarriages, I had pinned all my hopes on the possibility of starting IVF. I’m feeling very silly as I knew it was expensive but had no idea it would be this much. We just don’t have the savings or the option of going abroad where I’ve read treatment can be cheaper.
The only way we could come close to funding the treatment (after overtime and emptying our savings) would be to ask to borrow from family but what a cheeky thing to consider doing. And even then, I’m well aware that there is no guarantee of success.
We are very very lucky to already have one child but I just can’t help longing for a sibling. More so since my latest miscarriage.
I guess I’m just wondering what to do. Take a chance and try to find the money or just accept that it’s not meant to be.
Thank you xx

I just don’t see how we can afford IVF.
