If patients spend two years on the programme and do not have a live birth they receive a refund of 100% of their programme fee.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Our Refund Programme<\/a> is available to patients under 40 using their own eggs and offers either 2 or 3 cycles of IVF or ICSI treatment.<\/p> This programme is subject to a medical review and if patients go through all of the available cycles of treatment and do not have a baby they receive a refund of up to 100% of their programme fee.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Our Multi-Cycle Programme<\/a> is available to patients under 45 using their own eggs.

To benefit from a refund of up to 100% of the cost of your treatment if you don\u2019t have a baby, you may be interested in our IVF Refund Programme<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \u200bYour age is calculated on the day you make payment for the programme, which is the final step in the application process.
