Lister Fertility Clinic

Choosing the right fertility clinic is important. Here are some of the most crucial things to consider when making your decision.

The Lister Fertility Clinic, the UK's largest private IVF unit, has just celebrated its 30th anniversary. Since it opened in 1988, over 18,300 babies have been born from private fertility treatment with us. We have maintained consistently excellent IVF success rates while empowering patients to make decisions and ensuring a relaxed atmosphere at a potentially difficult time.

Fertility clinics have different criteria on who they are willing to treat, based on factors like age, markers of low ovarian reserve (such as FSH and AMH Levels) and previous treatment history.

Our philosophy is to treat all patients with a potential to succeed. After discussing your personal history and performing tests to investigate FSH and AMH levels, we give clear and realistic information about your individual chances of success using our Lister Fertility Clinic Pregnancy Calculator.

At the Lister Fertility Clinic we don't believe that the final decision on whether to treat should be ours alone: as long as we have accurately advised patients of their chances, those with a low likelihood of success should also be offered fertility treatment if they wish.

Many patients are successful, often after being declined fertility treatment elsewhere. For some, being allowed to try treatment and failing may be part of an acceptance process that may allow other avenues to be explored. Patients can attend as many counseling sessions as they need.
