Hi Key,

You will need to speak with your local clinic, or look online at what this means for your local area. Not all areas offer 3 new cycles, this is the NICE guidelines, but local NHS services don't need to offer at this level. Where I live, only one round of treatment is provided.

You may want to look on the Infertility Network UK website for information on this, and also support on writing to your MP to possibly appeal the decision.

Hope this helps and good luck

I am afraid it depends on which PCT you are with - they all have their own policies which makes it really complicated. The NICE Guidance recommends 3 full cycles for eligible couples,and a full cycle should include the fresh cycle and then the transfer of any frozen embryos before you have your second and then third cycle. Some PCTs only fund fresh cycles, some only fund one cycle, some fund two. You need to check the policy of your PCT and see what it says - go to the Funding for Fertility section on our website, find your PCT and if they have given us their updated policy it will be on our website, If not you can try to find the policy on their own website but start with infertilitynetworkuk.com/Fu... and if you need any more help let us know
