Strict criteria for IVF seeking couples.
1. Women must be under 39 or over 23 atleast.
2. They must have BMI under 30
3. The couple cannot already have any children,even from previous relationships.
4. They must have been in a stable relationship for three years.
5. No privately funded IVF.
6. Couples must have been trying for a baby for atleast three years...etc
Do we really need all this rules for IVF seeking couples?

I suppose they have their reasons for imposing such rules and as long as members quickly sign up well it will continue to grow. I do not know if I am fortunate not to be able to fall under this criteria or unfortunate if I wanted to join.
But apparently is well accepted otherwise they would not exist. But I also think they are very strict and well the quality of members may not all be there.

This is the first time I have seen the rules for IVF in the United Kingdom which is the country that I live in. I know a lady that tried for ten years to have a baby with her husband. They had a go at IVF when the lady was 30 years old and she got triplet boys.
I know that a couple might be worried after one year of the lady trying to get pregnant. I imagine that after three years the couple, especially the lady, might feel really annoyed. I think that the couple might already have one child that they got through IVF. Then that second go with give that child a brother or a sister. When a lady can get pregnant often she hadn't been in her relationship for as much as three years. Sometimes one of the two might already have a child like the man that divorced five years old. Then his wife that he has now hasn't been able to get pregnant. I don't think we need all these rules for IVF.
Let me say that when the hospital found out the lady was having triplets they offered her a reduction! That means they could have taken out one of the three boys during her pregnancy. She said no way and she successfully had all of her boys born. One of my friends knows a man that had a baby with his ex-wife using IVF. That couple split up because she wanted another baby and it wasn't possible.
