Summary

The speakers discuss IVF waiting times, comparing past and present NHS waits. Behnam explains that he and his wife are continuing treatment to have another child, the fertility issue was on his side, and after diagnosis the process moved quickly. They have frozen embryos so repeat cycles don't require a new wait. SPEAKER_00 adds that once embryos are made, transfer is private and costs about £200, with no waiting.
