Feel confident in your treatment plan
We require that everyone involved in the treatment comes to the treatment planning appointment. It generally takes 60 minutes.
This appointment will be with a member of our nursing team, who will explain the egg stimulation regime that we’ve worked out for your personalised treatment plan.
They will answer any questions you have about the process. So please do ask questions, it’s what we’re here for! Some people find it useful to write down the questions beforehand.

Your fertility drugs and how to use them
The nurse will explain each step of your stimulation regime, talking through the process of normal fertilisation and IVF treatment / ICSI or IUI (depending on the relevant options).
Consent forms
You will be asked to complete your fertility treatment consent forms in advance of your appointment. The nurse will also go through each consent form with you and explain what you are agreeing to. It’s really important that you feel comfortable with what is written on the forms.
This is an important part of the process which ensures that your parenthood will be recognised legally after treatment.
You can find out more on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) website.
