Who is it for?
Who is it for?
We believe everyone deserves the chance to become a parent. Essential Fertility gives our patients access to quality, affordable fertility treatments. Our treatments are available for heterosexual couples, same-sex female couples, and single females. They include everything you will need for a single cycle of IVF, ICSI or Egg Freezing.
Patients who meet our eligibility criteria for each treatment type will qualify for Essential. And, in today’s economic climate, it may be especially appealing for those who are not eligible for, cannot access, or have been waiting a long time for IVF treatment on the NHS.

Why do we have criteria?
For our fertility nurses to plan your cycle, we will need to know the age, BMI and ovarian reserve of the partner undergoing treatment.
By having criteria, we reduce the complexity of treatments to enable nurse-led consultation and planning.

What if I don't meet the criteria?
If you don't meet the criteria for Essential treatment, Manchester Fertility has other treatment pathways to explore.
Our friendly patient team can talk you through the options available.

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.
