“When we found out about the fertility benefits, our jaws just dropped,” says Sarah, 36. “We couldn’t believe our luck because we’d already started thinking about starting a family. It just felt like, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe we’ve got access to this’.”
The couple, who weren’t eligible for treatment on the NHS in their area at the time, saved almost £30,000. “It’s a crazy amount and paying for it ourselves would have really stretched us. It’s made us a lot more financially comfortable that we didn’t have to,” she says.
