Lister Hospital Fertility Clinic

Before choosing the Lister Hospital, many patients decide to explore having their IVF both abroad & in the UK with a clinic like the Lister fertility clinic, because the combination of having their main IVF procedure at our European clinics supported with ultra-sound scans at their local clinic, like the Lister Hospital Fertility Clinic makes the whole process more convenient & more affordable. Added to that many patients enjoy the chance to get away from it all during this stressful time. Many patients considering the Lister will choose our Barcelona clinic for its exceptional reputation and success rates.

The Lister IVF Clinic is a clinic for private patients only based in London. It offers a massive range of treatments and diagnostic tests. It is part of the Lister Hospital and Fertility Centre, which is a well-established centre for women’s health. It’s also among the biggest fertility centres in the UK – treating around 2000 patients every year – and although bigger isn’t always better, it does continue to maintain an excellent reputation.

You’ll be hard pushed to find the same number of treatment options anywhere else. The Lister Fertility Clinic is also one of the very few centres to provide fertility treatment to patients with HIV, hepatitis A and B and other viral infections. For women, there is an upper age limit of 50 on treatment, however, to help keep their success rates healthy, and you’ll need to have a BMI of no more than 30, so it might be time to take up jogging or eating more veg!

In addition to IVF and ICSI, available treatments and procedures at The Lister Hospital Stevenage include freezing and thawing of eggs, sperm and embryos, GIFT, surgical sperm retrieval, keyhole surgery, genetic screening and blastocyst transfer. The Lister Fertility Clinic also specialises in studying reduced ovarian reserve and male factor infertility. Plus, become a patient here and you’ll receive the support of a dedicated counsellor. Particular focus on counselling services will be given to couples considering or going through egg, sperm or embryo donation.

The clinical director of the Lister Fertility Centre, Mr Hossam Abdalla, is a leading fertility expert who takes a special interest in egg donation and in women with reduced ovarian reserve and high FSH levels. As a result, the Lister Fertility Centre’s egg and embryo donation programme is one of the biggest and most successful in the UK. The related egg sharing programme make anonymous links between women able to offer spare eggs with those who need them. In this situation, the donor receives her own IVF treatment for free. The idea behind such programmes is to address the shortage of donor eggs available in the UK – it’s not legal to pay women for their eggs but they can receive rewards in other ways such as subsidised treatment.

In 2011, fees for a standard IVF cycle at the Lister Fertility Clinic were £3,525. This is higher than a lot of centres but bear in mind that prices for everything, including pints of beer and a pub lunch, are higher in London and that this clinic has an excellent reputation. Located in posh Chelsea, the Lister Fertility Clinic is easily accessible by public transport from the rest of London and is a short distance from major train stations with lines out to the west and south of the capital.
