My consultant has told me I can have free IVF when I'm 23 ( end of December) I was really excited but have been look up on ivf and the risks, has anybody had IVF with risks?

Hi, I'm not sure what risks you are talking about.

This is medical treatment that is a combination of taking drugs and invasive activity, so both elements bring risks to the actual treatment. That is why when you are undergoing treatment they keep you under close observation so that they are monitoring your responses to treatment, to make sure that your health isn't affected.

If you have concerns, please do go back to your consultant and discuss with him/her about these (or someone else at the clinic), so that you can make an informed decision as to whether this is right for you.
