Story
My sister Laura is 23 years old and has been diagnosed with early menopause. She has been told the only chance of having a baby is through IVF which the NHS will not fund as her egg count is very low. Time is of the essence as she has a limited window of opportunity for IVF to even be an option with use of her own eggs.
Some background on Laura and John,
Childhood sweethearts who have been together for 8 years.
Married in August 2012 and started trying for a baby straight away. Sadly Laura miscarried in May 2013 and has not been able to fall pregnant again.
After having several tests it has been found Laura is going through the early menopause and has a very limited number of eggs available. As there is a low number of eggs the NHS have refused her the chance of IVF through them.
Laura and John have since paid privately for a second opinion and have again been advised that their only option is IVF but at a huge cost of £8,500.
They are both extremely hard working and have always worked and their dream is to have a huge family
Our previous Just Giving page helped to raise £590 towards IVF treatment and we are also hosting a fundraising event at Five Oak Green Hall on 18th June from 7pm with Disco, Raffle, silent auction etc..

Having tried for a baby for 2 years myself I know just how desparate I felt when month after month nothing happened for me and my husband. I was lucky enough to eventually fall pregnant just before any fertility treatment started and thank my lucky stars every day for our princes
