About Us
Essential Fertility is a new, low-cost fertility treatment service developed by leading specialists Manchester Fertility. Our friendly and highly experienced team is dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality fertility treatments to a broader range of patients.



Who we are
Manchester Fertility is a trusted and well-established fertility clinic in the North West. Founded in 1985, we have always been at the forefront of fertility treatment, with our compassionate approach to patient care, vast clinical experience and leading-edge clinical and patient technology. With Essential Fertility, a highly-skilled team of consultants, nurses, and embryologists bring these strengths to patients who need effective, low-cost fertility treatment.

Affordable and accessible fertility care
As one of the UK's pioneers of IVF treatment, we have seen thousands of patients over the years and understand the emotions that infertility causes. We also see first-hand the struggle some patients have financing their treatment.
Essential Fertility has been developed to respond to patients' growing need for affordable fertility treatments, like IVF and egg freezing, which are often not accessible to many due to cost.
Our network of local centres provides initial fertility testing, such as ultrasound scans and blood testing, allowing you to complete essential preliminary steps close to home. Our localised approach works for our patients, saving time and reducing travel stress. It also fits with our ethos of always putting our patients first.

Essential Fertility Treatments
We have developed protocol-led core treatments for people looking to get pregnant or to preserve their fertility for later in life.
Our treatment packages are all inclusive and transparent. Everything listed for our treatments is part of the package, with no hidden extras. Pre-Treatment consultations and tests (that do not feature in the package) are chargeable, as are treatment additions.
Who is Essential Fertility for?
Essential Fertility treatments are available to all who meet our treatment criteria, which is in place to ensure the best possible chance for success. Recognising the growing demand for affordable and accessible fertility care in today's financial climate, Essential Fertility is an excellent choice for:
- UK and international patients seeking more affordable private fertility treatment
- Individuals who are not eligible for or cannot access treatment through the NHS
- Those who have experienced long wait times for NHS IVF treatment

I was honestly still in the deliberation phase, and with Manchester being a little far off, I was not sure I would go with the clinic.
It was Kelly’s approach that won me over. I called many times asking questions, and each time she was patient with me. It was her understanding and compassion that made me make the final decision and I can only hope she is a reflection of the whole team.

I couldn't rate the experience and staff more. Having moved from another clinic to Essential Fertility, the difference is night and day, even things like completing the HFEA forms (which were not done previously). It feels comfortable and not as unknown as before and I cannot recommend, rate or praise them enough! Thank you!

We are incredibly grateful to Essential Fertility for making our dreams of starting a family a reality. As a same-sex couple, IVF felt overwhelming, but their compassionate support, expertise and affordable care empowered us.
We wholeheartedly recommend Essential Fertility to anyone seeking an inclusive path to parenthood. Thank you to each and every one of you that made our journey such a great experience!
