Seeing Green, but still can't access treatment?

You are fortunate that your ICB is offering the NICE recommended 3 full NHS-funded IVF cycles. However, there may be other restrictions preventing you from accessing treatment, such as you or your partner having a child from a previous relationship or being in a same sex relationship. You can help change this by writing to your MP. We have made this easy for you to do using a template we have prepared for you.
