I lost £15,000 after going to an IVF middleman

The article discusses the case of a woman who lost £15,000 after going to an IVF middleman. Middleman companies, which act as intermediaries between patients and doctors, are not regulated by the fertility watchdog in the UK. The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, paid the middleman company a significant sum of money, expecting them to arrange her IVF treatment. However, the company failed to do so, and she was unable to recover the funds. The article highlights the lack of regulation surrounding these types of companies, leaving patients vulnerable to potential financial losses and subpar service. It serves as a cautionary tale for individuals seeking IVF treatment, emphasizing the importance of thorough research and dealing directly with regulated fertility clinics to ensure a more secure and reliable process.
