What is IVF?
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a technique used to help women and couples with fertility problems have a baby.
Unlike natural conception, during IVF, a woman’s eggs are collected from her ovaries and fertilised with sperm in the laboratory. Any embryos created in this process, will later be placed back into the womb to grow and develop.
If you have any questions about IVF at abc or how to start treatment please contact our experienced team who will be happy to help.

Frequently asked questions
At abc ivf we are very proud to be able to offer the lowest cost per IVF cycle in the whole of the UK, but our aim is also to shift the IVF world towards 100% transparent pricing.
With this in mind we have chosen to lead the way and to offer a Complete IVF Package with no hidden costs for the IVF cycle.
Our Complete IVF Package includes:
- Treatment consultation
- Screening tests
- Monitoring scans
- Blood tests
- Medication*
- HFEA fee
- Expert clinical advice
- Sedation fees

*to see the medication included in package, see our terms and conditions and ‘What other costs might I have to pay?’ below.
The first step to starting treatment at our clinic is to book an Initial Consultation and Scan. This is a 45 minute appointment with a specialist Nurse Consultant.
The first part of the appointment includes an advanced Pelvic Assessment Scan which will help us assess your egg reserve, the health of your uterus, endometrium (lining of the womb), ovaries and follicles.
You will then have a consultation with your Consultant who will explain your results, discuss your medical history, answer any questions you may have and talk you through your individualised treatment plan.
If you are ready to go ahead, you can start treatment as soon as your next menstrual cycle.
You will be required to pay a deposit after your Initial Consultation and Scan to secure your Treatment Consultation. The outstanding amount will then be taken after your Treatment Consultation.
Please see our Terms and Conditions for details.
Male factor: If you have a fertility issue due to a male factor, you may require additional support and treatments such as ICSI. We have an IVF with ICSI package.
Egg & Embryo Freezing: If you have additional embryos after your embryo transfer procedure, you will be given the option to freeze them at an additional cost. In specific cases there may be a medical need to freeze embryos. You may require embryo freezing, Cryostorage and potentially a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) procedure.
Donor Sperm: If you require donor sperm for your treatment, this will come at an additional cost. Donor services need to be organised with CREATE Fertility St Paul’s.
Diagnostic tests: In certain situations, your clinician could request that you have further diagnostic testing.
Medication: The medication included in your IVF package is appropriate for most patients to complete their cycle of IVF. However, as we tailor treatment to each patient’s individual need, more medication may be required. If you require additional medication, this can be purchased directly from abc ivf for additional cost. The medication included in the package price is as follows:
- Stimulation medication as required prior to egg collection (FSH)
- 1 x Ovitrelle or 1x Buserillin vial (or equivalent)
- 5 x Cetrotide (or equivalent)
- 2 boxes of Utrogestan (or equivalent)
Any medication above this will be charged according to our latest price list.
Your treatment at abc ivf will work within your natural menstrual cycle. Therefore if you’ve had an Initial Consultation and Scan at abc ivf and are ready to start, you can usually begin treatment as soon as your next menstrual cycle.
