I wrote to my MP and she spoke to Matt Hancock on Tuesday!

I wrote to her with my story about not being able to proceed with egg freezing etc etc. She said leave it with me.

She just emailed to say that she spoke to Matt Hancock in person who took a real interest in what’s happening and he said he would make an announcement today about restoring treatment. She/he listened! I’m so grateful.

Well done!!! Getting the MP involved was worth it! One point is still unclear though: I just emailed with my clinic and they said they have not yet had confirmation that egg collection can resume. This was seen as the most invasive treatment. We need to find out about this. Xx

I will check with her. She said on her email that she had good news for me and that he said he was reinstating all fertility treatment.

Thank you , xxx I am also bit confused/ concerned about this idea of partial treatments only going ahead , with out egg collection / freezing or whatever the exceptions to go ahead are there is not IVF in its full and meaningful sense - I will contact the clinic again next week xx

The MP Julie Marson said she was still seeking the details and would call me on Monday/Tuesday. I think there may be some blips but her letter suggested that she will seek to get everything back on track. You may find out before me but if I hear anymore I will report straight back x

Thank you for contacting the MP! I got an email when the news was announced in briefing that my clinic will be resuming with all treatments, so I am pretty sure this must be the case all around in the next few days 💛💛💛

Hi,

It would be great if you could speak to your MP again, so IVF does not get stopped in a new lockdown.

Yes but I think everyone should do that now on this site.
