There are many factors to take into consideration if you are choosing a fertility clinic.

These include factors like cost, success rates, multiple birth policy and the support they offer. You will also want to consider location of the clinic, and whether they can offer you appointments to suit perhaps early morning or after work. Have a look at the patient literature the clinic provides, as this can be an indicator of the thought that goes into patient care.

If you are having private treatment, you will be able to choose the fertility clinic you wish to attend. It is important to remember that individual needs and preferences are all very different. What suits one person may not be right for another so take your time and do as much research as you can before making your decision.

This information is designed to help you if you are trying to find a specialist fertility clinic offering assisted conception services such as in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, it can be used as a guide to the questions to ask when looking into clinics for other forms of fertility treatment.

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) website has a list of all clinics licensed to offer IVF and ICSI in the UK and this is a good place to start if you are trying to find out which clinics may be suitable for you. The clinics are divided by region or you can search by putting in your postcode and this will produce a list of the closest centres to your home.

Infertility never leaves you no matter what the outcome is and those who have finally become successful after dealing with this illness can find support and understanding on our website.
