does anybody know of any finance options for embryo transfers only? I have looked at access fertility but have been advised this applies to full IVF cycles only.

Hiya I'm not sure if they do fet only but we looked into Gaia, very friendly group of ladies who run it who helped us alot. Might be worth giving them a look. Good luck!

Ah thanks very much will check them out!

if the clinic accepts card payments could you possibly get a zero % credit card to pay ?

Probably looking like the most likely option at this point tbh, though not ideal given the sums of money involved (gulp!)

Hi, what do you mean by full IVF rounds only? We are using the access fertility multi cycle package, with icsi. So far we have had 5 transfers, one fresh and 4 frozen From our first cycle (transfers were if both single and double embryos. We are due to start our second cycle of the package soon. We found pretty much no restrictions so far with access and our clinic has made all treatment decisions so far. It doesn't include the meds which are often very expensive but has covered all clinical treatment except for add ons, such as a scratch, acupuncture, PGT testings etc.

We have had no problems with the multi cycle package and I recommend it, as we have at this stage had far more cost of treatment than what we actually paid access up front and still are able to have more. I think the refund options from access may have a few restrictions though.

Thanks Vix,

By full rounds I meant basically IVF that start with egg collection and then wind up with a transfer. I annoyingly only really heard about alternative finance options for IVF fairly recently and have three embryos on ice ready to transfer - I called access fertility and they said that they only provided finance for customers who were starting out at the egg collection stage. So just wondering if there are any other options.
