Fertility patients eager to restart IVF treatment when ban lifts

While she has been given the green light to start treatment, not everyone has been so lucky.Associate Professor Peter Illingworth, medical director of IVF Australia, wrote to patients warning that while the fertility provider was "aiming to accommodate everyone who contacts us ... we will not compromise the care IVF Australia can offer you, by taking on too many patients at once".

Dr Anne Clark, medical director of Sydney IVF clinic Fertility First, Sydney, said it would not be a simple case of booking a procedure when the ban lifts on Tuesday, as many clinics were operating on a skeleton staff and some patients had stopped their hormone treatment. "They don't rock up on our doorstop with a new problem ... By the time we see them, they're new to us, but they've already had a significant journey behind them, including a couple of miscarriages, perhaps," he said.

Professor Rombauts said it made sense to restore IVF services early in the elective surgery restart, as patients with fertility problems were "otherwise generally healthy, and they're quite young".
