Can you help with my petition for free IVF for woman with Endometriosis and are in the same sex relationship?

[Pacotj]

Great idea, is this for the whole of the UK?

[Avourneen]

Have you had a read up about the effects of IVF treatment on women who have endo? It is quite controversial some studies say it's okay others say it really worsens endo long term. I would suggest looking into the subject in a bit of depth before petitioning parliament.

Agree… I had private fertility treatment, before endo diagnosis, which was unsuccessful. With hindsight, I now see that a) the fertility team should have given me full information/counselling on endometriosis once they spotted it and b) the hormones involved in the treatment probably triggered the catastrophic increase in my symptoms/growth of endo in my bowel that led to emergency surgery. But if they started informing their customers about endo facts, it could harm their profits of course… Major morality issue there, in my opinion….
