To go private or wait??

I’ve been trying for a baby coming up to three years now and only just had my funding sent off, I’m

Starting to get really impatient now after trying to stay chilled and positive for so long. Now with Covid and a big backlog I’m feeling so deflated that it’s not going to happen this year. I really can’t decide what to do, I know going private it will be much quicker but it’s just so much money. Feeling so gutted and low atm xx

Hi lovely, it’s such a tough decision. My husband and I were due to start treatment in March then COVID hit. We waited for 2 months then decided to give it until June 1st to decide whether to keep waiting or go private. We hadn’t heard from our nhs clinic at all and it wasn’t looking good so we decided to take the plunge and move clinics. We’re just about to do egg collection next week.

Good luck xx

Hi, it is such a big decision. We decided to go private as in our area we would have had to wait another year before we were entitled to nhs treatment. I have low amh so we decided we didn't want to wait that long in case our chances reduce by then.

I guess it's a really personal decision. I think for us we wanted to be able to look back and have no regrets, and just know that we did everything we could. But obviously it's a lot of money so that plays a huge part in the decision too.

Good luck with whatever you decide xx

Hi I waited for my NHS round, I didn’t realise it would be a year of waiting! I sometimes wish I had gone privates straight away. I guess it depends on finances. My hubby always said what if it takes 5 rounds to work and we can only afford 4, then we’d regret not using the NHS round xx

Have you thought of going abroad? Might be cheaper.
