Every UK clinic offering IVF, donor insemination or egg and embryo freezing must be licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). The HFEA publishes inspection reports and national success rates, so you can check any clinic before you book.
Treatment is open to couples and single people, including same-sex couples. NHS funding depends on where you live, as each local health board sets its own criteria for age, BMI and the number of funded cycles, so many people go private. Since 1 July 2022, eggs, sperm and embryos can be stored for up to 55 years, provided you renew your consent every ten years. Donors in the UK are not anonymous: people conceived with donated eggs or sperm can find out the donor's identity at 18.
When you compare the clinics below, look up each one's HFEA data for patients your age, and ask for a full itemised cost for one cycle including medication, storage and any add-ons.
