Free IVF treatment...

Yes, it's true. The Lister Fertility Clinic in London is offering 21 free treatment cycles - and that's full cycles, to include the freezing, storage and transfer of any additional embryos.

If you are under 45 and need IVF treatment, you can apply for one of the 21 free cycles. They are being offered through the charity Infertility Network UK and you can find out how to access the scheme on the I N UK website

The free cycles will be allocated by a random lottery, so anyone who applies stands an equal chance. At the moment in the UK, women should be entitled to up the three cycles of NHS IVF treatment, but the reality is that access to treatment depends entirely on where you live, with some primary care trusts only offering one cycle of treatment and others inventing their own criteria to limit the amount of treatment offered.

The Lister officially opened a new state-of-the-art fertility clinic last week, and the clinic is planning to offer some free treatment cycles every year.
