IVF For U.K. Patients

U.K. IVF Patients frequently visit Florida, USA for IVF  “in vitro” fertilization and fertility treatments which are very common.  Even though the UK’s National Health Service provides IVF and fertility treatments as part of the “covered benefits,” there are many exclusions.  In addition, there are delays in treatment due to a large number of patients in the cue. Here at GeneticsandFertility treatment time for U.K. IVF Patients reduces significantly.

It is common for our offices to treat a patient that has been denied services or has been on a waiting list for 1 to 3 years.  These long waits can make a huge difference in the pregnancy chances and even the health of the pregnancy.  Patients that we have treated in the past have been excluded or delayed in the U.K.  due to advanced maternal age, a partner with a previous child or elective sterilization procedure, or diminished ovarian reserve.  In addition, patients that require an oocyte donor are very often placed on a waiting list due to the very limited number of donors in the U.K.  The U.K.’s laws have made the egg donation process quite difficult.

In Florida, we have the legal ability to present our egg donor recipients a large selection of anonymous egg donors.  We are able to share photos and extensive profiles.  Many times our international patients will be given access to our egg donor data base so they can look and select a donor prior to making any extensive plans for treatment here.  Please refer to the Egg donation section of this web site.

In Florida, we are also able to offer PGS or Pre-implantation Genetic Screening that allows us to check the embryos for chromosome imbalances as well as gender prior to transfer.  We are allowed to disclose all information including the gender of the embryo or embryos available for implantation.
