How to choose the best fertility clinic for you
We understand how important it is to select the right fertility clinic as you prepare to embark on your fertility treatment. This decision can feel overwhelming, but it’s essential to consider several factors before making a commitment. While success rates may seem significant, it’s important to also evaluate aspects such as costs, location and the range of treatment services offered.

Tips for choosing the right fertility clinic
Verify the clinic's licence - Ensure the clinic is licenced by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). The HFEA is the UK’s independent regulator of fertility treatment and research using human embryos. Licensed clinics are required to follow certain guidelines and undergo inspections every two years to ensure that they provide reliable and effective care. This includes checking the storage of eggs and sperm, inspecting the equipment, and ensuring that treatments are carried out responsibly with the utmost care.
All our clinics at TFP Fertility have received a 5-star rating for their dedicated fertility care, which is the highest rating achievable.
Consider location and accessibility – The location of the clinic is a crucial factor, as you will need to make frequent visits for scans and monitoring throughout your treatment cycle.
Occasionally, you may require last-minute appointments, so choosing a clinic nearby can help reduce stress and make your journey smoother.
At TFP Fertility, we have several satellite clinics that work alongside the main clinic for added convenience, eliminating the need for long commutes.

Understand success rates – When evaluating fertility clinics, many people initially look at success rates. IVF success rates indicate the percentage of treatments at each clinic that result in a pregnancy or live birth. These figures are often compared to the national average to provide a general idea of outcomes.
At TFP Fertility, our success rates exceed the national average. It's important to remember that the number of embryos transferred doesn't always correlate with the number of pregnancies or live births. Not every embryo transfer results in a successful outcome. While IVF success rates are useful, they don’t guarantee that your treatment will be successful; other factors, such as age, medical history, and lifestyle choices, also play a significant role.
Explore costs – Fertility treatment can be a considerable financial investment. However, the most expensive clinic isn’t necessarily the best one for you. Make sure to ask for a detailed cost breakdown. We will always provide a clear overview of our TFP prices. Understanding pricing can be difficult and it can vary from person to person. This is due to several factors, including medication and treatment add-ons. The exact pricing details will be discussed during your consultation before you make any commitments. For more information, visit your local clinic’s pricing page.
Assess expertise – Your healthcare team’s qualifications and experience are critical, particularly in fertility care. Don’t hesitate to enquire about their credentials, experience with your specific condition, and their involvement in your treatment. Our doctors have been part of our team for many years, with some having been here since our doors opened.
Our team consists of qualified doctors, nurses, embryologists, therapists, and patient support staff, all dedicated to supporting you throughout your fertility journey. For more information about our teams, visit your local clinic page. Feel free to ask questions about the laboratory equipment and fertility procedures, to help you put your mind at ease.
Enquire about laboratory equipment and treatment procedures – It’s important to feel confident in the technology and procedures being used for the treatment. Our research at TFP Fertility has been pivotal in advancing modern IVF practices, including the discovery of not having to rely on an individual's natural cycle to carry out stimulated IVF. Instead, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH) can be utilised to control follicle development and optimise the timing of egg retrieval.
Furthermore, we use innovative technology, including the EmbryoScope™, a specialised incubator with built-in cameras, to help us identify which embryos are most likely to lead to a successful pregnancy.

Look at financial considerations – It's important to explore the financial support offered by the clinic, especially since fertility treatments can be a significant financial commitment. Many clinics offer NHS funding or have partnerships with financing companies to help manage costs.
At TFP Fertility, we have teamed up with Access Fertility to provide our patients with various financing packages, including options for 0% interest over 12 months. This allows our patients to save money, lock in the cost of their treatment and reduce the financial stress associated with fertility treatments.
Explore what support is available – Embarking on a fertility journey can be overwhelming and emotionally challenging, so it's essential to ensure you're receiving the support you need throughout this process. While our doctors and nurses provide care during your treatment, the emotional impact can be substantial.
As per the HFEA guidelines, we offer up to three counselling sessions with each treatment package, before your treatment begins. While we are here to provide support, guidance, and expertise, many find it beneficial to speak with a counsellor to help navigate the emotional realities of their situation.
