Hi all. Wondered if anyone had been in a similar position and could offer advise please? We had a cycle of IVF back in March on the NHS. We live in Leeds/Wakefield area (UK) and are only entitled to one round, despite the NICE guidelines saying everyone is entitled to 3 (don't get me started on that) unfortunately we only got 4 eggs, and only one fertilised without abnormalities. We had an early miscarriage and once we had got our heads around this we got in touch with our local MP and she advised us to write to the CCG to ask for an individual funding request. This was about 2 months ago now and we have been informed tonight that we have been declined for extra funding or any kind of funding. I have numerous fertility problems, will never conceive naturally and I have basically been told that it's a now or never type situation. Getting really stressed out now on how we're supposed to afford IVF without getting our selfs in debt? We both have decent jobs and have mortgages and cars, but obviously around the 10k mark isn't easy to come by and have no choice but to pay for something that isn't in our control?! Me and my partner are always happy to pay our way in life but a bit of help financially with this kind of thing would obviously help the stress levels on top of an already stressful time. I really am at my whitts end and would really appreciate any kind of advice? Thanks in advance xx
