Egg Freezing
Lister Fertility Clinic offers egg freezing with successful clinical outcomes following the freeze / thaw process. A later success with frozen eggs is dependent on the number frozen, we are offering 3-cycle packages.
IVF
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is used to treat a wide range of fertility problems. For many, such as tubal factor or age-rated infertility it may be the first-line treatment and for others may only be recommended if simpler treatments fail.
Egg Sharing
Egg sharing is a unique programme designed to benefit two groups of women who are unable to produce their own eggs, those who need IVF treatment and those who need anonymous egg donation.
Health Fact vs Fiction Understanding your fertility
In episode 12 of HCA UK’s ‘Health Fact vs Fiction’ podcast, host Anna Richardson chats with Dr Marie Wren, deputy director of the Lister Fertility Clinic and TV presenter Julia Bradbury.
They discuss the ups and downs of trying for a baby, IVF, and how we can all become more fertility aware.
