Fertility Treatments
Here to help when starting again feels hard. We provide specialised care for patients after previous unexplained failures, combining advanced immunology diagnostics with personalised treatment to maximise your chances of pregnancy.
The Implantation Clinic at London Women’s Clinic is designed for patients who have experienced failed embryo transfers despite good-quality embryos. Using advanced validated techniques, we study the immune environment of the womb lining to better understand factors that may affect implantation. Research* shows that endometrial immune profiling can identify key factors contributing to recurrent implantation failure, helping guide personalised treatment.
The tests involve an out-patient procedure and our team provides support and guidance throughout the process to ensure your comfort and understanding.
The Implantation Clinic is designed for patients experiencing repeated embryo transfer failures with good quality blastocysts, who are seeking personalised insight into why implantation has not occurred.
It can be suitable for individuals who have undergone:
Our team supports you with tailored assessments to help understand the factors affecting implantation and guide the next steps in your fertility journey.

The Implantation Clinic is designed to better understand the environment in which implantation takes place. By carefully assessing your endometrium during a controlled cycle, our specialists can develop a personalised treatment plan based on your individual results.
Successful implantation depends not only on embryo quality but also on the health and readiness of the womb lining. Research from Dr Mona Rahmati and Professor Nick Macklon shows that advanced endometrial testing can identify factors affecting implantation, helping to guide personalised treatment plans rather than relying on trial-and-error approaches.*
*Endometrial immune assessment in patients with a history of previous euploid blastocyst failure.
Initial appointment with a specialist, via referral or self-referral, to review your history and eligibility.
You will be prepared in a medicated “mock” HRT cycle for endometrial testing. During this stage, you’ll take prescribed medication to recreate the natural hormonal environment and ensure your womb lining is ready for the biopsy.
Conducted during a specific time in your cycle, including:
Important note: For optimal results, your frozen embryo transfer (FET) should take place within six months of your endometrial biopsy.
Laboratory analysis identifies potential causes of implantation failure and guides treatment recommendations.
Results reviewed with your specialist to set a personalised treatment plan. In rare cases, tests may need to be repeated.
The Implantation Clinic concept was pioneered by Professor Nick Macklon, a Senior Consultant Gynaecologist and IVF Specialist, and Group Medical Director whose decades of experience in reproductive medicine have shaped the understanding of human embryo implantation worldwide.
With over 250 published studies and numerous international awards, his research continues to inform innovative approaches to IVF and reproductive care. Today, his expertise is a cornerstone of the LWC programme, ensuring patients benefit from the latest scientific insights.
The Implantation Clinic also draws on the specialist skills of Dr Mona Rahmati, a Senior Consultant Gynaecologist and IVF Specialist with a PhD in reproductive immunology.
She focuses on helping patients with recurrent implantation failure, applying cutting-edge immune profiling tests to tailor treatment and restore balance in the endometrium.

PGT-A is an optional test that may help some people having IVF understand more about the chromosomal status of their embryos before deciding which to transfer. It can be useful in certain circumstances, and has been shown to reduce the risk of miscarriage, but it isn’t suitable or necessary for everyone.
Reciprocal IVF is a fertility treatment that allows both partners to have a biological or physical role in creating and carrying a pregnancy. One partner provides the eggs, which are fertilised with donor sperm through IVF, while the other partner carries the resulting embryo and gives birth.
In 2001, aged 18 and facing cancer treatment, Kassandra Bacon had a slice of her ovarian tissue frozen. No one knew if it would ever work. Twenty-five years later, she’s a mother. Here’s her story, what it means for fertility preservation, and how it differs from egg freezing.
An athlete's career often peaks during her most fertile years. This month, England rugby captain Meg Jones called for fertility support in sport, here's what egg freezing involves and how it can support elite athletes.
There isn't one route to building a family as a trans or non-binary person and you don't need to have it all figured out before you start. From egg, sperm and embryo freezing to IVF, donor options and surrogacy, here's a clear guide to what may be possible for you, before or after gender-affirming care.
Being over 40 doesn't decide your fertility journey for you. Some women conceive naturally, others with their own eggs, and others with donor eggs - the key is knowing your individual picture early. Here's what changes after 40, what your test results really mean, and how to find the right option for you.
