Wow, About time although too late for us, already spent £4000.... Looks like there is talk about all couples under 40 being offered free iVF, up to 6 gos!! I would imagine though there will be waiting lists so probably not much help to us chicks over 30 but great news for chicks in their 20s..... Thought Id highlight this to you all, I think its on the news as well so expect you have heard Good lucj to you all... Sarah xx

Saw that and read the articles yesterday and how DH and I laughed! Just as our 5th attempt worked and after spending £20,000 on everything hey presto!!! Wouldn't change a thing though, and if we ever need another go at least we know it may be free, but can already predict lots of problems, and I agree there is bound to be a huge long waiting list, but at least it gives people hope!

Yeah I heard it also yesterday on the news, I was on the NHS waiting list of 4 years but Dh and I decided to pay private. We paid £3000 and luckily it worked for us first time. But its good in one way that for people to have 6 attempts on the NHS for free. Love Shell. xx
