A woman has spoken out about her battle to receive IVF treatment on the NHS.
Despite working for the NHS for more than 15 years, when Siobhan McLernon was referred for fertility treatment after finding out she could not have children at age 39, she was told to come back in a year, which would mean she was over 40 and would not be treated.
Siobhan was even asked why she had waited so late to get treatment and was made to feel as though the problem was her fault.
After assessing their options Siobhan and her partner decided to fork out £4000 for private fertility treatment. She is furious that in order to have a child she had to borrow money and had previously believed the NHS would help.
