The reproductive age woman category, now that’s the ones -if she’s trying to get pregnant, then obviously she’s not on any kind of birth control and most likely they’re functional. What do you do? Well you can watch them month to month, and if they resolve, which most of them will, the problem is gone. If such a cyst grows or causes more problems, then she should also have a laparotomy. Now, if Read the rest of this entry »

I myself have had fertility treatment and had one round of IVF which was successful thankfully. I am a non-smoker and not overweight and did everything I could to be as healthy as possible whilst trying to get pregnant for 8 years.

I got onto the waiting list, and as I am married and neither myself or my husband have any other children. We had to wait 11 months even once we were top of the list as all the years funding had been used up. We do need to face facts that there are limited funds available to the NHS and criteria do need to be set to choose priorities for any treatment.

I mst say that I agree that everything should be done to make it as fair as possible – and IVF is less successful in obese people and smoking damages the unborn child, therefore I believe individuals should need to lose weight or stop smoking to be offered treatment over people who have already done this.

I also believe that childless couples should get priority for the free treatment.

If the NHS funded all IVF without some criteria our taxes would be through the roof OR some other services would have to be cut – something I don't think anyone would want.

This world is not a fair place – but that is a fact of life I'm afraid.

I totally agree, IVF should be banned for everyone. There are too many people in the world as it is, and anyone who wants children for the right reasons would be perfectly happy to adopt. All this selfish 'but I want my own baby' stuff is just nonsense, if you genuinely want to give a child a loving home it shouldn't Read the rest of this entry »

Around 15% of American women are suffering from female pattern baldness caused by androgenic alopecia. For a female, losing hair can be a much more devastating process than it is for a male. Women are very much judged on their personal appearance, and thinning hair may seem like a de-beautification process. Self-esteem is thus impacted and confidence levels dwindle. In women who are suffering Read the rest of this entry »

Yahoo! UK News Message Boards – Pregnancy – Obese to be refused IVF?

I think its disgusting that smokers are refused IVF and obese women “should” be refused. I suppose the health experts think women on drugs who have babies born addicts are more suitable? The “fat” gene would be passed on but at least they would be caring, responsible parents and the child would be able to grow up normally Read the rest of this entry »
