Fund free IVF for women with Endometriosis and are in a same sex relationship

What the petition asks

Fund free IVF for women who have Endometriosis and are in a same sex relationship on the NHS.
When I was 18, I was told that I could not fertilise and egg but I could carry my child through free IVF due to Endometriosis. At this time, I was in a heterosexual relationship but now I am in a same sex relationship, I have been told I no longer fit the criteria and I cannot have free IVF treatment. This is discrimination and I believe anybody in my situation is entitled to free IVF. Especially, as I have been told prior that I was entitled to it.
