Provide 3 fresh rounds of IVF and end the IVF postcode lottery.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

With the success rate in England being so low for a successful round of IVF I feel it is important to raise the limit from 1 fresh round to 3 throughout the country and to not disseminate people based on their postcode.
The NHS chances of success is 32% for women under 35, 25% for women aged 35 to 37 and 19% for women aged 38 to 39.
This is why it is unfair to only offer one round of IVF when the success rates are so low.

Not being able to have children is hard enough let alone to be told there is no more help for you because you live in the wrong part of the country.

Putting the above into place will balance the chance for success and relieve the unnecessary stress endured by those affected by infertility
