Sorry, I've got to jump in here, sorry if I'm repeating what others have posted but only had time to scan the posts briefly.

Can we please get a few things clear? Firstly, no reasonable person is talking about a “right to have” children”. There are no guarantees with IVF, you will not necessarily come out of it with a baby, so the right to have a child doesn't really come into it. The right to free IVF treatment on the NHS is the right to be able to “try to have” children if there are physical/medical reasons why you cannot conceive naturally.

Which brings me to my next point; gays and lesbians do not “choose” this lifestyle – it is the way they were born and does not preclude them from wanting and being able to love and care for a child. In fact, they'd probably make better parents than many heterosexuals as they'd be in a better situation to educate their children about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance, which I strongly believe are the root cause of many of the problems we see in society today (but that's another subject!)

Thirdly, with regard to the overweight/obese and their right to free IVF treatment – what about those women whose weight problem a symptom of the condition which *makes* them infertile i.e. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? Please don't assume that every overweight person you see is that way because they don't have the self-discipline to restrain themselves or to exercise. Yes, there are people who are overweight due to laziness and greed, but let's not tar everyone with the same brush!

As for those people on benefits – since when did being unemployed make you an unfit parent? What about those people that have been employed for several years but now find themselves on benefits due to redundancy? Are you saying that despite the fact that they've paid their NI contributions, they now don't deserve to get NHS funded treatment because they're out if work? And to the poster who described IVF as a “luxury” treatment – what are you on about?! It's not elective plastic surgery to make your boobs bigger or your nose smaller! This is about one of the most basic human instincts – parenthood.

Come on now, let's be realistic. There is not going to be a huge rush of people creating a burden on the NHS all demanding babies. But I guarantee you, if a bit less money was chucked away on poncey artwork and hifalutin computer systems that don't work then the NHS wouldn't have any problems with funding all types of treatment, from cancer to IVF to drug rehabilitation.

And, in case you're wondering – yes, I do have a vested interest, I'm 33, female, married, of average height and weight, infertile and waiting for IVF (private, via an egg sharing scheme as I am fortunate enough to be able to afford the minimal costs involved when you share eggs and also I get to help some other poor woman who can't produce her own eggs).

How Do I Know If I Have Pcos

PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome is a health condition that affects approximately 8 to 10 percent of all women that have the ability to have children, making it one of the most common ailments women face today. So, how do you know if you have PCOS?
Women that have PCOS usually display the following characteristics:

- Higher than normal hormones (usually male), called androgens,
- Irregular or non-existent menstrual cycle
- They also may have small cysts (small sacs filled with fluid) on their ovaries.

Women with PCOS can experience a wide range of symptoms, including, but not limited to: irregular bleeding in lieu of a period or no period at all. Suffer with infertility or the inability to get pregnant because of a lack of ovulation. An increase of hair growth on the chest, face, back, stomach, fingers or toes. Increased presence of acne and oily skin along with dandruff. Commonly felt is pain in the pelvic area with obvious weight gain, especially around the midsection. The development of type-2 diabetes, high cholesterol and increased blood pressure are also risks. Baldness (male-pattern) or a thinning of hair can occur as can patches of darkened, thickened skin on the arms, neck, thighs and breasts or the development of skin tags and possibly sleep apnea.

The causes of PCOS are unknown at this time. While there is evidence that most PCOS sufferers do have a sister or mother who also has PCOS, there is no concrete evidence showing a genetic connection.

To understand PCOS fully, it helps to have a complete knowledge of the female reproductive system and how PCOS affects women. The ovaries are made up of two tiny organs located on either side of the uterus and are dotted with follicles. Follicles are tiny sacs that contain liquid that keep hold of the eggs. Another name for the sacs are cysts. As with all women, about twenty different eggs in the ovaries begin to grow each month, but most times, only one egg wins out. As that one dominant egg matures, the cyst gathers liquid in it. When the egg reaches maturity, the cyst bursts open to allow the egg to travel up the fallopian tube to be fertilized. This is what is called ovulation.

For women that suffer from PCOS, the ovaries do not make the proper hormones needed for
1000
the egg to fully grow and be released. Most times, the eggs will begin to mature and gather liquid, but no single egg becomes mature enough to be released for ovulation. Instead, the eggs remain in the cysts. Since there is no egg released, ovulation never happens and the hormone known as progesterone isn’t made. Without the hormone, the woman’s menstrual cycle is absent or very irregular. Making things worse, the cysts can produce a male hormone, which further inhibits ovulation.

There is no cure for PCOS at this time, and the onset of PCOS can spell a myriad of health problems. Eating a healthy diet, losing weight, getting pregnant and even enjoying exercise can become a major challenge.
