My partner and I suffered through 4 miscarriages last year.

On November 25 we miscarried at 9 weeks (after hearing the heartbeat on two separate occasions.)

We have been told by specialists that <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> is our best option for a healthy pregnancy as we can genetically test the embryo/embryos.

I was scared but hopeful to begin our <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> journey at the beginning of this year.

Heartbreakingly, our government decided to shut down <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> in Victoria, Australia, due to the Omicron outbreak for 90 days. This means we are unable to start this journey until April.

Drs and nurses are being told to take forced leave and, here, <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> is conducted in private clinics and will not overload our hospital system.

Many women and couples, like me are desperate to have this decision reconsidered.

To say that I am heart broken is an understatement 😔
