What age do you need to be for free ivf?

Unfortunately that depends on where you live. The NICE Guideline recommends up to three cycles of treatment where the woman is aged between 23-39, so technically that should answer your question. However some PCTs only offer treatment to women aged 30-34 (in the South Central area). NICE is simply guidance and the PCTs don't have to follow it which again is why some offer three and some only one or two. Two PCTs (N Yorkshire and Sutton and Merton) don't fund any at the moment.

Hope that helps - visit the funding for fertility section of the I N UK website for more information infertilitynetworkuk.com/Fu...
