Why Essential Fertility?
Why Essential Fertility?
With a wide selection of fertility clinics in the UK, it is sometimes hard to know which one will best suit you, your partner, and your particular fertility issue. Essential Fertility by Manchester Fertility is highly competitive when it comes to our treatments, prices, success rates, quality, and staff experience. We have specifically developed affordable treatments to meet patient demand for affordable, accessible fertility treatment.


Experienced & Trusted Clinic
Essential Fertility offers affordable treatments by a leading UK clinic, Manchester Fertility. Founded in 1985, less than a decade after the first IVF baby was born, we have always been at the forefront of fertility treatments, making us one of the most trusted and well-established fertility clinic in the country.

No Hidden Extras
Clinics display treatment costs differently, which can be confusing when comparing fertility treatment prices. Essential Fertility treatments have no hidden extras, and we strive to make our prices as transparent as possible. Our Essential treatment package prices outline everything that is included*.
*Initial fertility tests and scans are not included in treatment.

Inclusive 'Add Ons'
Treatment 'add-ons' can dramatically increase the base cost of fertility treatment. When comparing treatment costs, it is crucial to check whether the treatment includes specific add-ons or your overall treatment could be significantly more expensive than expected. Essential IVF is inclusive of the following evidence-based interventions.
Excellent Patient Care
Essential Fertility treatments are backed up with award-winning excellent patient care. Our specialist team offers compassion and support throughout your journey. Essential Fertility is nurse-led, but you will have the support of our entire team from the moment you begin your treatment.
Our team includes fertility nurses, consultants, fertility midwives, embryologists, sonographers, patient teams, counsellors, and our donor sperm bank.


Alternative to NHS IVF
Essential IVF may be an option for you if you are not eligible for NHS IVF treatment, if it is not available in the place you live, or if there is an undue delay in accessing NHS treatment.

Excellent Success Rates
We have excellent success rates helping patients realise their dream of having a family. For age ranges 18- 37, our success rates for IVF/ICSI using own eggs by embryo transferred and live births is either the same or exceeds the national average, according to the latest HFEA statistics.

Regulated by HFEA
Essential Fertility by Manchester Fertility is regulated by the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority (HFEA). HFEA is the UK's independent regulator of fertility treatment using eggs and sperm and research using human embryos, which regularly inspects all UK fertility clinics, including ours.
Our current inspection rating, birth rates and patient ratings are available on the HFEA website.

State-of-the-Art Clinic
We have a state-of-the-art clinic in South Manchester, accessible by car, train, and plane. Everything from the reception area to our consulting and treatment rooms has been purpose-built to provide excellent patient care in a welcoming, modern and friendly environment.
Patients attend our clinic from all over the UK, if you are travelling to us for treatment from outside the Greater Manchester area you can explore our local monitoring centres to streamline your journey and reduce the need to travel by completing your initial scans close to home.



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!
