You may not know that as from April 6, identifying details of anyone who has had IVF since 1991 may be available to researchers. Most people who've had IVF may be quite happy for researchers to be able to use identifying details from their records in order to carry out projects which could be beneficial to future patients, but there are others who don't tell anyone about their treatment and may be worried about this - especially as most people believed this information was confidential when they had IVF.
It is possible to opt out by using a form on the HFEA website but both you and your partner will need to opt out, and you will need to put in the dates of your treatment and where you had it.
There's more information here for anyone who wants to know more about this.
