Financial costs associated with undergoing fertility preservation

NHS funding may be available, but the amount of funding and the criteria for treatment varies between funding bodies and regions.

NHS funding may not be available if either you or your partner already have children. If you are not eligible for NHS funded treatment, then you may self-fund treatment. Individual funding requests can be made in exceptional circumstances.

Funding options will be discussed with you during your appointment with your fertility care team. If you are able to get NHS funding at that time, it does not guarantee that you will have NHS funding if or when you decide to use stored frozen ovarian tissue.

For more information about the availability of fertility preservation procedures, please see the HFEA website (www.hfea.gov.uk).
