About fertility and reproductive medicine

We have fertility specialists who provide a holistic approach to investigating and treating fertility problems. Even if you've been turned away elsewhere, our specialists give you all the information you need to make decisions about your treatment, and will let you know your chance of success. Many of our patients successfully start a family, often after being declined treatment elsewhere. In fact, our success rates at the Lister Fertility Clinic are consistently among the best in the UK.

Our fertililty services can offer the latest fertility treatments including IMSI which allows better selection of sperm for treatment. CGH for genetic testing of embryos to either improve success rates or exclude known medical problems, and time-lapse imaging techniques to improve embryo selection. We also offer tests to exclude causes of recurrent miscarriage, carry out 3D pelvic scans and offer surgical expertise to diagnose or treat problems causing fertility issues.

We are now blessed with our precious baby daughter; our miracle, thanks to the Lister team believing in and persisting with us.

Mr and Mrs Craig, Patients of the Lister Fertility Clinic
