Founded in the early days of assisted conception, back in 1985, the Oxford Fertility Unit has since produced over 5000 babies and boasts consistently good success rates. They are open to both NHS and private patients and while they have an upper age limit in place, they don’t reject potential patients on the basis of their weight. They are justifiably pleased with their ground breaking in vitro maturation (IVM) programme, which is becoming a better and better alternative to IVF treatment. Particularly for women with polycystic ovaries. In 2007 they delivered the first babies conceived in this way within the UK.

An IVF treatment cycle here is over £5,000. Men and women who can and do choose to offer another couple their spare eggs, or a sperm sample, will receive a subsidised price for their own IVF treatment. This type of egg and sperm sharing scheme is being adopted by more and more clinics and reduces the need for couples to travel abroad in search of a suitable egg donor.

Patient care is very important to staff at the unit and there is always a doctor on call, 24 hours a day, for urgent patient enquiries. Counsellors and a specialist counselling psychologist are on hand throughout the process to provide help and support. Friends of IVF is a patient support network that’s made up of current and former patients of the Oxford Fertility Unit and they hold monthly meetings in a nearby pub – you can’t argue with that.

Oxford Fertility Unit is located within the Institute of Reproductive Sciences in Oxford Business Park, and there’s easy access to the M40, A34 and good rail links too. They accept patients from all over the UK.
