I am in relationship with another woman, can I have fertility treatment?
This is very similar to the previous question. Lesbian couples and single women are to be treated on the same terms as couples which mean access to fertility treatment.
At present couples can apply for funding for IVF via their local Primary Care Trust (PCT) who usually fund at least one cycle of treatment.
However it looks like this will be extended to single women and lesbian couples.
More information about this can be found on the HFEA website.
