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.

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!
