Low cost packages

Treating every patient

Here at the London Women's Clinic North East we understand that fertility treatment can be an expensive time; our minds are on the recent recession and the impact of the NHS cutbacks. The cost of fertility treatment can prove to be a financial burden for those of us looking to start a family.

With this in mind, the LWC North East has produced a range of low cost price packages to fit every budget and every patient looking to start a family. Egg-sharing provide free IVF treatment to eligible women by donating some of their eggs.

The London Women's Clinic North East is currently offering free blood tests, IVF/ICSI and medication to eligible egg-sharers for a limited period.

Our three cycle IVF package reduces the financial burden of treatment and by following a course of treatment can reduce the emotional and physical burden by making treatment a less stressful time.

Egg-sharing

If you are 35 or under and able to produce healthy eggs but need IVF treatment, with our egg-sharing programme you could donate some eggs to a potential mother in need of them. In return, the clinic will provide basic free IVF treatment to you. You'll also have the satisfaction of helping another woman become a mum.

The LWC North East is currently offering free initial consultation, blood tests, IVF/ICSI, medication and blastocyst culture to eligible egg-sharers for a limited period.

Egg-sharing information

Partner to partner and egg-sharing

Partner to partner and egg-sharing is becoming a popular treatment among our lesbian patients. This treatment enables both partners to be involved with one providing the eggs (the genetic mother) and the other carrying the pregnancy (the birth mother) and receive a more affordable recipient treatment. Partner to partner egg-sharing involves both partners to go through different steps of an IVF cycle with half of the eggs collected used for their treatment and the other half donated to an anonymous recipient.In return, the couple would receive heavily subsidised treatment.

IVF Lite

Mild ovarian stimulation for IVF has regained favour due to the realisation that it is associated with fewer side effects, incurs a lower risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), has a lower cost and should provide a sufficient number of eggs to fertilise and enable the transfer of good quality embryos.

Advantages of IVF Lite

  • It is suitable for all patients requiring or requesting IVF with normal AMH/FSH results and a BMI of less than 31
  • It uses low dose stimulation to recruit a maximum of 4-6 pre-ovulatory follicles
  • There are minimal side effects as there is no conventional IVF superovulation
  • It can still enable the development of embryos to the Blastocyst stage and should provide a single Blastocyst transfer (eSET) if applicable
  • The cost of treatment medication is lower than conventional IVF

Disadvantages of IVF Lite

There will be a lower number of embryos available following a treatment cycle but with careful selection IVF Lite may be the viable alternative to conventional IVF for those not wishing to freeze supernumerary embryos

IVF drugs package

When you go through your IVF cycle, you will need to take a combination of drugs to manipulate your cycle and stimulate the development of mature eggs. A variety of different regimes are used depending on individual requirements which are all discussed with you during your initial consultation with the specialist.

Here at the LWC, we understand that fertility treatment can be an expensive time so we have developed a low cost IVF drugs package which through using our supplier Home Care means that you can have your IVF drugs at an affordable price and sent straight to your home.

Recently, various retailers have started to offer fertility drugs at affordable prices for their customers. Below is a table of some of the prices we have found.

Three-cycle package

Here at the London Women's Clinic our aim is to make treatment less stressful and more affordable.

Results worldwide demontrate that success rates improve when treatment is undertaken as a course of cycles and not as a one-off attempt.

Fertility treatment when charged on a cycle by cycle basis, may prove an expensive approach but at the London Women's Clinic North East our three cycle IVF packages offers three treatments for the price of two. Response to the idea has been tremendous and success rates are good.

We have found that patients are more relaxed from the outset if they know that they have further opportunities for pregnancy.  And our results show without doubt that the 'cumulative' rate of success is always higher than that from one cycle.
