after the great job that the miscarriage campaign, I thought this would be a natural next step.

Ive been on the conception boards for a long time now, and it would appear that the difference in treatment for IF varies a huge amount from PCT to PCT. some hospitals run lupus tests as standard, others will just run day 21 and day 3 bloods. some will check immunology, others wont even consider it.

infertility is still something that the general public remains ignorant of, with cries of "just adopt then" or "you shouldnt have left it so late" ringing in the ears of sufferers. I would like mn to help raise awareness, stop IF being such a taboo subject and maybe help the NHS standardize treatment, so the same tests are run in every hospital.

what do you think?

Hello there,

Thanks for your thoughts on this, and apologies for taking a while to come back to you - the school holidays mean that the Campaigns team is rather underpowered at the moment. It certainly seems as though this is something that a lot of you feel very strongly about. Please do continue to add your thoughts and experiences, and also raise any potential problems/objections, if there are any. Is there a particular request that needs to be directed at government or local health authorities?

We'd also like to emphasise that the miscarriage campaign has certainly not been 'quietly dropped'; we're working on a new phase of campaigning for that right now.

Thanks,
MNHQ x
