Abbey Fertility Clinic

Abbey Fertility Clinic is for couples and individuals in Chester seeking fertility assessment and treatment. Its fertility care includes IVF, ICSI, intrauterine insemination, ovulation induction, egg donation, surrogacy, PGD / PGS, intralipid infusion, surgical sperm retrieval, endometrial scratch and Neupogen.

The clinic also lists fertility tests and screening by name, including Fertility MOT, Natural Killer Cell Testing, Recurrent Miscarriage Screening, ERA, prenatal screening and Zika testing. Donation services include treatment with donor eggs, donor sperm and donor embryos.

For IVF, the process includes ovarian stimulation, ultrasound monitoring, egg collection under sedation, fertilisation and embryo transfer. ICSI is offered as a related technique in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg, including where there is a very low sperm count, sperm motility problems, previous failed or low fertilisation, or a need for surgically retrieved sperm.

Donor egg treatment is offered with an overseas partner clinic, with care before and after treatment carried out in the UK through NHS consultants and UK health professionals. The donor egg pathway includes an initial consultation, blood tests, semen analysis for male partners, donor matching information, consultant review and scan where needed, and a required counselling session with an independent counsellor.

The clinical team includes consultant gynaecologists and fertility specialists. Wider fertility support named by the clinic includes acupuncture, nutrition and counselling as part of donor egg treatment.
