Private ivf recommendations around nottingham/shire?

[ivfhelp]

Finally time to accept I will need to go down the ivf route.

Does anyone have any recommendations of clinics in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire area. Lincoln too.

Thank you

To add: I have tubal factor (one blocked tube) if that makes any difference

There’s not that much choice around here to be fair. I’m with CARE fertility in Notts - they’ve been good for me but no success yet. They have satellite clinics in surrounding area. There’s Nurture too which I also think have satellite clinics around. I think there’s a satellite clinic for create in Notts, but egg collection/transfer I think is Birmingham.

Oh really? That sounds disappointing. I've had a look myself but all of them seem to promise so much and it just worries me that they won't.

I hope you have success soon! ♥️♥️♥️

Hi, I have used Nurture (TFP) in Nottingham and I would highly recommend them. I have been diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and had to have one of my ovaries removed due to a large cyst.

I had two cycles of IVF in 2018 (one fresh and one frozen) and we were lucky enough to have a gorgeous baby girl.

She is now 4 years old, so we have been back to Nuture to try again. I have quite low AMH and my husband has slightly poor quality sperm so we needed ICSI. It has taken a few cycles this time, which probably isn't surprising considering my age as well (nearly 39.) I am in the very early stages of pregnancy and anxiously waiting for our first scan next week. Throughout the whole process the whole team at Nurture has been really supportive.

Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions. xx

@ivfhelp Thanks. Our infertility is not straightforward, but CARE have been good. You’re right, they do seem to promise the world but you have to go into it thinking it’s a chance. Not a guarantee.

To give you an idea of our journey: We are officially unexplained but since being with CARE we have picked up on the following:

• I only have one ovary that ever has an AFC. Also only have one ovary that responds to stims, so cuts my numbers right down!
• DH has ‘stressed sperm’ - likely DNA fragmentation
• My AMH is the low side of normal. Explained by only having one ovary that works!
• We have a fertilisation issue - first round had 33% fertilisation rate with ICSI

Part of the reason we chose CARE was the extras we knew they did, in case we needed then. I had an inkling we might.

Our last round we used zymot chip and AOA to combat new sperm issue (stressed sperm) and fertilisation rate. Fertilisation rates improved slightly to 50% but our day 5 embryo rate was good. Out of 4 fertilised eggs we got 3 good quality day 5 blasts.

Currently going through a FET now. They’ve been on the ball changing things up where things haven’t worked but we have not been a straightforward case.

I’m happy with them, so far. We have a multi package so another egg collection if needed. If that doesn’t work, I’ll probably look at London clinics/immunology though. - funds dependent.

I wish you the best of luck, with whichever clinic you go for.
