The pair had accused the clinic of 'discriminating against same-sex couples'.
’s commitment to removing the barriers to accessing IVF for same-sex female couples in 2023 leaves us feeling very hopeful for the future of LGBTQ+ families.’
In May, the parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Mental Health and Women’s Health Strategy Maria Caulfield said: ‘We expect the removal of the additional financial burden faced by female same-sex couples when accessing IVF treatment to take effect during 2023.’ Megan and Whitney went on: ‘We really hope that going forward other couples won’t have to go through discrimination and can have the families they deserve.‘This is not the end of our campaigning, simply the next chapter. We will continue to ensure that Fertility Equality is achieved and we hope to have a baby Wegan by our side while still fighting the good fight.’
