IVF Hope For Couples With Fertility Problems

New NHS guidelines say that IVF treatment should be offered a year sooner and to older women.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence have said that couples struggling to have a baby should get fertility treatment after two years of failed attempts, not the current three years, and that the age limit for treatment be raised to 42.

Previously, NHS trusts have struggled to find the money to meet the IVF recommendations and concerns have been raised that the guidelines may not lead to changes, as they are not binding.

It is understood that one in every seven heterosexual couples in the UK who are trying for a baby experience problems conceiving a child.

In 2011 some 14,000 women successfully became pregnant through IVF.
