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.

‘We started our treatment in July, and I have had a very positive experience with this clinic. Lorraine on reception especially made me feel like nothing was too much trouble and always knew me by name which is such a nice personal touch, especially at such a sensitive time. Along with Dr Safwat Ashour he always recommended the best treatment for us and just had such a kind caring attitude towards us while explaining our options and being very honest with us too. One of the nurses (so sorry I can’t remember your name) she only recently started in July and I felt so at home with her and cared for. To finish off we are currently pregnant with our IVF miracle all thanks you this clinic. Thank you all so much, no thanks would ever be enough for the gift you have given us!’

‘Where to start… Fertility treatment is the last thing any of us expect to need. But if you find yourself on this journey, Brentwood London Women’s Clinic is where you want to be. Carina’s warm welcome sets the tone the moment you arrive, and every single nurse is wonderful, kind, calm, and reassuring. It’s a complicated and sometimes difficult road, but they walk it beside you. We’ve experienced both joy and heartache here, and through every moment we’ve felt cared for and supported. They truly get to know you, and the care feels personal and bespoke. Today we have our precious 3-year-old, and we will forever be thankful to this amazing team. They are everything you could hope for kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely there for you. We couldn’t recommend them more.’

‘We honestly can’t thank London Women’s Clinic in Brentwood enough for everything they have done and continue to do for us. They helped us create our now 3 year old, and we are incredibly grateful to be back with them on our journey to hopefully have another little one. Angela and Katie are truly incredible nurses. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, listened to and supported every step of the way. They take the time to explain the process, answer any questions and put your mind at ease, making what can sometimes be an overwhelming and emotional journey feel that little bit easier. It means so much to be cared for by people who genuinely seem to care about you and your family, rather than just seeing you as another patient. Their kindness, compassion and reassurance make such a difference, and we feel very lucky to have them supporting us again. We will always be grateful to London Women’s Clinic for helping us bring our little girl into the world, and we have every hope that they will help us grow our family once more. We couldn’t recommend the team highly enough. Thank you, Angela, Katie and everyone at the Brentwood clinic, for being such a special part of our journey. ❤️ Also a special mention for the smiley face in the reception. Carina, you are great!!’

‘Came here after my treatment at LWC Darlington as I needed to be part of the failed implantation team. The care and communication was second to none. It was everything and more, no question to my coordinator was never too much. They were extremely accommodating when I had to travel from up north multiple times and were always happy to let me have my then 2 year old son come to monitoring appointments. I’m grateful for their expertise in failed implantation as my 3rd egg collection was successful and my fresh transfer worked first time & I’ve just gave birth to my second LWC baby in September 2026. Would always recommend LWC - especially London Bridge / Harley Street.’

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.
