Fertility treatment options
We’re here to support you with a range of options that can improve your chances of conceiving. Our team will talk you through what each involves, so you’ll feel confident and fully supported during your time with us.
Ovulation induction
A fertility treatment to introduce fertility medication to stimulate follicle (egg) development and promote ovulation.
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment
Helping people become parents. More than 23,000 IVF success stories since 1988.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Fertility treatment to increase the chance of egg fertilisation. IUI is a process where sperm is placed directly into your uterus around the time of ovulation.
Natural or mild IVF
Natural or mild IVF are methods that prioritize egg quality and minimize fertility medication, focusing on working with the body's natural cycle.
ICSI and sperm selection
ICSI is a procedure where a single, high-quality sperm is directly injected into an egg to aid fertilisation. It can help when sperm problems are affecting fertility treatment.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing PGT
Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) is a technique used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) to screen embryos for genetic disorders before they are transferred to the uterus. It’s sometimes called PGT IVF.
Fertility preservation and donation programmes
Your journey doesn’t have to follow a single route. We offer ways to help safeguard your fertility, as well as options that make family possible through donor programmes. Whatever path you choose, we’ll be here to help.
Egg freezing
Prolong your fertility. How acting now can give you a better chance of a success in the future.
Embryo freezing
Excess good quality embryos can be frozen instead of being transferred to the womb. 2,200 babies born at the Lister Fertility Clinic using frozen embryos.
Fertility preservation and cancer
Women and men with cancer may be able to preserve their fertility by freezing their eggs or sperm.
Egg donor
Donating your eggs by becoming an egg donor can offer hope to a large number of women who previously thought they'd never have children.
Using donor eggs
Many people come to the decision to use donor eggs after a long fertility journey involving failed treatment cycles. We’re proud to run one of the country’s most successful egg donation programmes here at HCA UK.
Embryo donation
Embryo donation is when a couple who've been through IVF treatment have frozen embryos in storage that they no longer plan to use. Rather than discarding the embryos, they can donate them to others going through IVF or to medical research.
Private donor sperm treatment
Access expert-led sperm donation treatment using donated sperm from a screened donor to help achieve pregnancy, typically through intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Book to discuss your options.
Surgical treatments and different pathways to parenthood
Every family story is different. For some, surgery offers a way forward, while for others, alternative paths to parenthood open up new possibilities. Whatever your situation, we’ll support you with care, expertise, and understanding.
Surgical Sperm Retrieval
Surgical sperm retrieval surgically extracts sperm from the testicles or epididymis when sperm cannot be obtained through ejaculation. The sperm are used in assisted reproductive techniques like IVF or ICSI.
Vasectomy Reversal
Vasectomy reversal is a procedure that reconnects the tubes (vas deferens) that were cut or sealed during a vasectomy, allowing sperm to travel again, and potentially restoring male fertility.
Shared Motherhood at HCA UK
Intra-partner egg donation. The use of IVF treatment, with one partner donating eggs to her partner, and becoming the 'biological mother.' The other partner carries the baby, and experiences the pregnancy as the 'birth mother'.
Private surrogacy services
At HCA UK, our caring fertility specialists will guide you through every step of your surrogacy in London. We’re here to support you and answer any questions you may have about surrogacy in the UK.
