Fertility clinics over 40

Just wondering if anyone can provide some advice or recommendations for IVF clinics near Caterham. I'm 42 so cannot get NHS funding and trying to research what clinics to look into.

No specific advice for your area but I would say I’d recommend you really do your research and reading before you commit. There is a reason the NHS won’t offer IVF at this age and that’s because at age 42 IVF is not likely to be successful, at 42 your chance of success first cycle IVF is around 6%, second cycle IVF 10% and third cycle IVF 11%. I’d be really wary of what these clinics are offering or promising to get the money from you because as I say the chances aren’t great and I’d worry these places will quite happily take the best part of £25k from you knowing chances are you’ll be walking away from it with no baby.
