Fertility

[MarieC24]

Hi, if anyone has read my bio it will pretty much explain some of my journey (I didn’t want to bore you with everything). I’ve just come back from an appointment at the hospital regarding our fertility, I have been taking Clomid but this has not been affective. They are now going to give me Prostap injections again to give my body a rest. I have been told today I am not entitled to IVF on the nhs as my partner already has a child from a previous relationship, (his child is now 9). I explained to them how unfair this is as it is me with the condition and not my partner, it is me who will still not be able to have children if our relationship was to fail! I have come out deflated and heartbroken. With todays money issues and problems with government we physically can not afford the IVF so now I feel I have to just accept I will never have my own children 😢💔

Aw, sorry to hear this, so tough 😢 not got any advice other than maybe chat to a counsellor. Can be helpful. Don't know if the doctors you were seeing can refer you to a fertility counsellor? So difficult for you 🙏

marieC24 have you looked for any financial support? We managed to have one round on the nhs & then funded our own treatment so I am not talking from experience, but I have seen there is a charity which offers grants to couples. I believe it would be means tested & it wouldn’t cover the full cost of treatment but it may be able to at least help explore at this stage.fertilityfoundation.org/get...
