Assisted conception

I am 36 years old and my husband 37 years. We have been told that my husband has got poor sperm quality but I am ovulating good. Our gynaecologist suggested that we definetly need assisted conception but as we already have a 6 year old child, we are not eligible for NHS funding. He also mentioned that Trafford PCT sometimes give funding for one cycle but I'm not sure if this is the case. Do you have any idea? Also, I checked your fee online, we had all our investigations already, if we are looking for IVF/ICSI what's the procedure now? Thanks
