Hi all just wondered if anyone has any experience with Access Fertility or Gaiafamily?

Our ICSI failed on the NHS funded round. Im now trying to find another way of doing another round. Its been so heatbreaking and i feel like im losing hope. I just wondered if any of these places have been positive for them if helping with finance x

Hi, I paid for the three cycle icsi package with access ertility with 50% refund if no live birth, thanks to the bank of mum n dad i didnt need to apply for funding but i just wanted to say i was really worried that I wouldn't be eligible for the offer because I have a really high BMI, my age and my husband is diabetic. My cousin who recommended the service to me talked me into just going for it and I am so glad that she did. So my advice would be definitely apply, what's the worst that can happen? I just wanted to added access Fertility don't cover costs of medicine which for my my egg retrieval and FET I think has added about £2k to my first cycle so far.

Thank you for this information. That definitely makes me feel a lot better. I will have a look more into Access Fertility. This is useful to know about the medication as well. I will get saving for this. As I'm 32 I dont want to leave it too late, but I didn't know how much they actually fund. Thank you x

We used access, 2 rounds ICSI with 50% refund, I've had my first round and ended up with 10 frozen embryos so I'd hope we never have to use the second round that we paid for but it did take a lot of the stress off knowing before hand if it hadn't worked I had the second round as back up!

I found picking a package very overwhelming but everyone I spoke to were really helpful!

Best of luck :)

Hey thank you for getting back to me. Did you use the 12 month plan or are you using the kandoo extended finance with Access? I'm just wondering how good their offer will be. As 950 a month with Access is alot.
Fingers crossed for you and hoping your journey will be successful x

We paid in full with the help of family, extremely lucky we had that offer available so we didn't look into monthly plans sorry x
