Hi Jess, you are entitled to a free round on the NHS even if your husband has a child from a previous. This rule was changed 5 years ago to allow. If you both have children then you can’t get funded IVF via the NHS. Hope this helps

Hi,
We were told in December that due to a child from a previous relationship we were not eligible and have therefore had to go private.

Hi Katie, can I ask who told you this? We were told from a private clinic in 2021 during consultation that we would not be eligible for NHS funded ivf due to 1 of us having a child previously. We took their word for it and proceeded with private ivf. We were referred to the NHS recurrent miscarriage clinic after our 4th miscarriage. During this we found out from the NHS that we could be eligible for 1 round of NHS funded IVF. They have referred us and sent all the paperwork. We just need to wait and see

Is this dependant on your age too?
