Funding Question

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to ask a question about IVF funding. But firstly a little bit about me.... After two ectopic pregnancies I now have no tubes left, but are blessed with two little one conceived naturally. Unfortunately after nearly losing my life the last time I'm still crazy enough to want a third child. I know I should be just grateful for want I have got (and please don't judge me on this), but I just can't shake that desire for another.

Reading up on the criteria for public funding I see if you have two kids you an ineligible for it. Which is totally fair enough, but my gynecologist told me that we might be depending on waiting lists (as we fit all the other criteria). Has another heard of anyone that got funding when they already had two kids? The only reason why I ask is IF we do go down the IVF path it will not be until 2012 so wasn't sure if we would make an appointment to see someone about it now or just wait until next year on the assumption that we will be paying for it ourselves.

TIA

Hey thanks for that. I believe (and I might have this wrong) that the 5 year thing is for unexplained infertility. The reason for our infertility is know thanks to the loss of both my fallopian tube so if we were eligible for the funding than I'm sure the waiting list isn't 5 years long.

Anyway, it clearly states that with 2 kids you are ineligible for the funding on all websites I have read and that is what I said to the gynecologist, but she said different. So not sure who to believe, hence why I asked the question but since no replies I guess noone knows? Ah well its not biggy as we were expecting to have to pay anyway, plus my age is ticking on and once I hit 38 (late 2012) that is the cut off for me, so if it hasn't happened by then that will be it for us.
