Im 30 and my Girlfriend is 25, the hampshire PCT wont fund us till my girlfriend is between 36-39. Which is ridicolous as she is now at the best age of her life to carry a child. IVF is the only way in which we can concieve a child as i am azoospremic which means i have sperm but not the tubes to carry it, and this has been the way since birth. Is there any other way in which i can get funding that people know?

i would send a letter to your pct, it might or might not help, it is shocking if you wait til she is 36 that will make you 41 there has to be some exceptions,
I have just gone on the waiting list for ivf with my pct and i am 26 ivf has a better success rate at this age than in your 30's
Good Luck

This sounds very odd. In my area women OVER 35 can't get funding. It shows how every area has very different criteria.
You should pester your Dr - that's what me and my hubby did. I should point out we had slightly different circumstances and a very understanding Dr who helped us every step of the way with our local fertility services. If you plead your case with good reasoning (and it may take a few attempts) you might at least get to see a consultant who could then make an assesment personal to you and your partner and refer you for treatment. This is all 'maybe' of course but it's worth a go.
Never take no for an answer. Push for this - it's obviously worth it. You don't have to make a nuisance of yourself but keep striving for this and don't let this first hurdle stop you!! Good luck.

There is an infertility website (www.resolve.org) that provides tons of information on infertility and how to prepare financially, etc. for the procedures.
Another option is to speak with the IVF clinic or doctor to see if they offer payment options or loans that could assist you.
We were fortunate that our insurance covered the procedure but not the prescriptions. It was still a major expense for us.
Another option is to have friends/family contribute to your "baby fund". We left a piggy bank on our kitchen table with a note "please help us have a baby". When friends and family visited, they were always throwing change in the jar - AND it always opened up the lines of conversation about the situation. In fact, my husband's grandmother saw the jar and didn't understand. When we explained it to her, she gave us a check to help defray the cost of the procedure!
We also set up an account at Igive.com so that when we purchased things on-line, we would get a contribution from certain companies into our account. It didn't come close to what we needed, but every little bit helps. :)
Good luck.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/nOoEN
Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Check out this web-site, fertilitylifelines.com. I know they have financing options and they help cover the costs for certain circumstances. If you have health insurance, because of your condition, they may cover it. I have also read that there are certain states that mandate infertility treatments be covered by insurance. You could always start a web-site looking for donations. So many people have done them for ridiculous reasons and collected money, so it might be worth a shot.

I feel for you both. We sold off so many things to come up with the funds for a surgery that our insurance wouldn't cover, but they covered everything after that.. I see that you aren't married( doesn't make a difference to me ) , but does it make a difference with the insurance company?? Also have your girlfriend talk to her OBGYN they will probably have the best advice for you both.. Don't be surprised if her OBGYN wants to talk to you as well...
Good Luck to both of you
