Has anyone used any third party companies to get "deals" on their IVF packages. Such as unlimited IVF for 2 years for a fixed rate. I'd love to hear people's experiences, what is and is not included and whether it's just better to go direct? Feel welcome to privately message xxxx

Unlimited IVF Packages/Multi cycle packages
We used Access Fertility for a 3 cycle package with 50% refund - the clinic even recommended them! Saved at least 30% on paying directly, and it was so good to know that everything (apart from meds) was covered as the costs can run away from you when you're paying for every individual scan, test and procedure individually.We didn't have a baby, but the refund process was quick and easy. Highly recommend.
Not quite what you asked, but I’m on a refund guarantee programme direct with my clinic. 3 cycles, all transfers, just not my meds included. 💯 refund if no live birth.
thanks for sharingxxx
Yep, we did a two cycle package with unlimited FETs but with no refund. It was much cheaper than just one cycle and one FET going direct. We qualified for the unlimited and refund options but they were quite a bit more expensive and we figured if it hadn't worked after two full rounds and unlimited FETs we'd need to rethink anyway. The first FET worked and as we had a live birth then that was the end of what they covered (I.e., no more transfers or rounds paid for after that even though we hadn't used up both rounds or all frosties) but we got what we hoped for so it didn't matter.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I’m going to get a consultation booked in asap to discuss all of our options. I can’t hack the nhs wait times it’s driving me loopy!
Yeah, we waited the best part of 4 years years on the NHS what with complex referrals and then general delays, then lockdowns... I had one round on the NHS but it was so inflexible and the wait just for FETs was 6mnths, so we went private and had another round the following month and a FET the following. There can be age restrictions on some of the packages so it's better to start the process early if possible to get the better deals.
