IUI with donor sperm - London

Hello everyone
I am looking into doing the above but am struggling in terms of knowing which clinic to use. I used London Women's Clinic 18 months ago to do a round of egg freezing and had a negative experience with them in terms of patient care (or lack thereof) and well, I could be here all day if I was to recite the full story. When I asked about doing IUI with them without ovarian stimulation they basically said "just call us when you get your period, do ovulation tests and come in when you get the surge" - seems like a lot of money just for one appointment and no check ups / pre treatment appointments or scan, so not very happy about using them. The question is, are any of the other clinics any better??! Does anyone have any experiences they can share with me? I called CREATE and am thinking of getting an appointment with them. Obviously, this means starting the process again and paying for an initial consultation/scan, but if the service is better it will be worth it in the long run I think. I'm SW London so ideally don't want to travel too far. I've also heard Lister might be good so I'd be interested in anyone who has been there too. Thanks in advance!

Hi!
We used European Sperm Bank for donor sperm; and CREATE St Pauls for IUI. Currently 6w pregnant on the second IUI cycle, I reckon the first one was also a success but ended up early MC/chemical pregnancy.
CREATE are nice, their admin is all over the shop but don't dwell on that! We had a different doctor for every appointment, they do scans every other day from day 8/9 of the cycle + you monitor the LH surge; you can also get hormonal blood tests done but this is extra and I dont recommend this.
Once your follicle is big enough, you can (and should) get a trigger shot which ensures timed ovulation. Then IUI is booked around 24h later. Good luck!!
