I can only have ivf i have been told but i dont have that kind of money, any ideas ?

[stellawaddingham]

Can you be an egg donor as it gives you free ivf and you will just pay for tests and drugs and consultation.

[pink_panther]

yes but we also dont meet the criteria. Its so depressing when no one listens or helps u. We only have one life and we want to be happy but there is always someone saying no to helping you. And im getting older and older and the thought of it never happening is even more depressing. I wanted to donate my eggs but iam too old. There is no other option than having lots of money which i havnt got

I agree with you. It all lies on the money side of it then doesn't it. We had to save like mad or it was loan and just deal with it when it comes I guess ? Hope you see a way through x

Thankyou so do we x

We are having to get a loan to pay for our IVF. Then maybe remortgaging, we don't care as you simply cannot put a price on becoming a mum..

[pink_panther in reply to MrsMarsh]

I agree with you. Yes it is just so hard why do they have to make it so expensive, it is not fair that only the rich can have babies
