There’s happy news for a London couple who used a guarantor loan to fall pregnant through costly IVF treatment after 23 years of trying.
Having
children can be a very costly and difficult business for some
couples. Even before the nappies, the school uniforms and the support
as teens graduate into adulthood are considered, prospective
parenthood can cost an awful lot of money.
This is very
much the case when conception proves tricky. There are all sorts of
reasons why becoming pregnant may be a struggle – or even an
impossibility - for some parents. IVF is one path which many choose
when becoming a biological parent proves to be challenging.
Unfortunately, IVF is a tough and expensive treatment, with many
couples and individuals requiring multiple rounds of IVF with no
promise of success.
Happily,
for many this difficult treatment does pay dividends. This
was the case for London couple Carolyn and Michal Lipczynski who
became pregnant in 2017 after 23 years of trying to have a baby.
While the NHS typically funds three rounds of IVF for
healthy, childless women under the age of 40, Carolyn and Michal had
run out of opportunities and had no option but to fund further rounds
of IVF themselves.
To make this happen, the couple took
on a guarantor loan of £10,000 to pay for one final round of
treatment. The loan, guaranteed by Carolyn's father, paid off. The
couple are expecting the birth of their baby daughter in March 2018.
According to Carolyn: "I've
got no regrets at all. If it wasn't for the loan I wouldn't be
pregnant right now."
