Fund additional testing for couples who have recurrent miscarriages

Closed 841 signatures

What the petition asks

Fund additional testing and treatment of fertility issues related to recurrent miscarriages available on the NHS so couples aren’t left with the choice of being forced to pay thousands of pounds for investigations/treatments or giving up on their dreams of having children.
Currently, the investigations offered to couples suffering with recurrent miscarriages are completely outdated with many people being diagnosed with ‘unexplained infertility’. For decades, tests into problems with Natural Killer Cells have been available privately with effective treatment being offered to many, allowing them to have successful pregnancies (at a cost!). I personally suffered with three miscarriages and now have a healthy baby; something which would never have happened on the NHS.
