ICSI

Hi everyone

Just wondered if anyone knows the answer to this question

My husband and I have been told that ICSI will be the next step for us, once I get my BMI down.

I was just wondering, if we are lucky enough for this to result in a successful pregnancy, and in a couple years time we would like a second child; would we need to fund this ourselves if we struggled to conceive again?

I want to add I know we are extremely lucky to have an NHS, and I am not running before I can walk, I would be ecstatic with 1 successful pregnancy. Just over thinking everything.

Yes if you've used your free round / rounds depending on what your entitled to and got pregnant you'd have to self fund.
Nhs funding policy will not fund you free fertility treatment if either you or your partner have an existing child

I should add this also applies if you've used whatever rounds your entitled to.
Even if you don't get pregnant you won't be entitled to any more nhs funding

Yes you would have to fund it yourself.
You can't just use nhs fertility treatment service as many times as you want
Once you've used whatever your entitled to depending on your board funding, for us it was 1 round, successful or not that's your round gone .
You can't just have unlimited free fertility treatment on nhs
