Hi,
Just back home recovering a day after surgery for my second ectopic and now with both tubes removed.
I’m so lucky and already have a daughter prior to all my issues with trying for a second. I just wanted to see if anyone UK based has got ivf on the NHS because they have no tubes but do have one child already or whether we just have to look into going private?
Thanks for your help
Dear Lauren,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancies and losses. To experience one loss is difficult, to deal with multiple losses is heartbreaking and my heart truly goes out to you.
This is a very difficult question to answer as every NHS in the UK will have differing referral criteria.

Please speak to your GP to find out referral criteria in your area.
Sending much love,
