Manchester Fertility Serivces Review

Called up to enquiry about surrogacy a few months ago and was told that I didn t qualify as having 6 failed transfers isn t enough (even though it was on their website at the time). 6 failed transfers at 30 with no implantation ever occurring. Find it a bit rich and upsetting that some receptionist who has clearly never gone through what I ve gone through saying this. We ve spent over 10k on private immune testing and there was nothing else left for us to try. Thankfully we found a choice of 3 other clinics who were more than happy for us to do surrogacy. I just found it unbelievable that a clinic would tell a private patient you don t qualify for surrogacy. How does a clinic make that judgement? You have no idea what couples have been through and they physically and mentally may not be able to put themselves through anymore. If a woman has had enough and wants to do surrogacy, that is their choice and that should be respected, not made to feel like it should not an option for them. The receptionist I spoke too could of been a little bit more empathetic as well.
Would not reccomend for surrogacy at all. Go elsewhere.

The staff at this clinic have been supportive, knowledgeable and friendly every step of the way. It has made what could have been a very stressful experience into a very positive one. If I ever need fertility treatment again in the future I will most certainly be using them again!

Very professional and friendly staff working in a contemporary, stylish and clean setting.

I had an excellent experience with Manchester Fertility Clinic. Extremely friendly, supportive and professional staff in a great environment. I was kept informed at all stages of the journey and felt supported throughout. I would highly recommend.

Due to ongoing health issues IVF hasn't been a straight forward process for me, this paired with the decision to use donor sperm as a single lady, it really wasn't the easiest choice to make. From the beginning I felt at ease with Manchester Fertility. They were warm, informative, empathetic and were nothing short of professional in their guidance and advise. Each department played a positive role throughout my two year journey, which I am so happy to say has been a successful one. I shall be looking forward to revisiting the clinic with my +1 in the NY, 2020. I always knew I made the best choice in MF. Thank you for everything

Following IVF/ICSI with Manchester Fertility, we finally have our little miracle! Baby Dylan Oliver, was born 18th December at 6.15am.

I would certainly not recommend this place, I had a semen analysis done almost a month ago, they suggested I will get the results in a week to two weeks. It s been almost a month and after emailing on the web portal a few times nobody has still got back to me. I rang today and was told that the lab nurses will look in to it. After all that still no joy. They are quick to grab your money but so laid back about the rest. DONT BOTHER

I can not recommend this clinic enough. After 10 years of trying and having a bad experience with icsi in another clinic I was really reluctant to try again. Everyone I spoke to understood my anxiety and did everything they could to accommodate it including mock transfers. The after care from the nurses has been above and beyond what we expected especially during the difficult times and I feel so lucky to now be 24 weeks pregnant which is nothing short of a miracle.

Brilliant staff and facilities, thanks to them we have a beautiful baby girl. The doctors were knowledgeable, professional and really reassured us throughout the entire process. We were very impressed with how sympathetic they were when our first treatment was unsuccessful and would highly recommended them.

Very good and nice service helpful kind and very good staff very friendly but kids are hand off God

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Caring staff. Excellent at making the client feel relaxed and welcome.

Not pleasant. Staff seem fake. Some are rude. Communication between staff is the worst and also just as bad at communicating with patients.
Treatment seems standard for everyone. Nothing was really tailored for me as an individual. I had 3 cycles with this clinic. 2 were altruistic egg donations and one was egg share and all 3 cycles were horrendous. I was so ill after each one. The retrievals themselves left me in awful pain and being violently sick and the transfer on my own cycle was just rushed and wasn't done with care. I have had two Ivf cycles elsewhere and both have been perfect and resulted in pregnancy. Avoid this clinic!

Both myself and my husband can not speak highly enough about MFS. The service they provide is second to non and whilst providing this they never make you feel like just a number. They truly invest in your journey and without them we would not be blessed with our daughter.

My 'little' brother is here today because of this wonderful team. He was their first IVF baby...born almost 30 years ago! Great to see that Manchester Fertility have helped so many others over the years after us, lots of happy families and happy babies. Just wonderful! Keep up your amazing and incredible work.

I would like to say thank you so much to Manchester Fertility for making my dreams come true. Rosie May was born in June 2020 after my first round of IVF using donor sperm, weighing 4lbs after arriving 6 weeks early.

Being 38 and single, i felt my dream was slipping away because I was too self conscious about my situation.
But as soon as I made that first call, every single person at Manchester Fertility made me feel welcome and supported.

You are treated with the upmost respect and you feel like your journey is the most important thing to them.

IUI didn t work for me but I was so lucky that my first attempt of IVF gave me my beautiful daughter.
And how lucky I feel to have been so involved in her journey right from the start.

I cannot begin to express my thanks to the whole team at Manchester Fertility for the care, dedication and compassion you have that has got me where I am today.

Starting IVF is terrifying and after a horrible experience at other medical providers I came to Manchester Fertility. Best decision I ever made. Staff are all lovely, caring, friendly and professional. They made me feel comfortable and looked after me when I was at my most vulnerable. I cannot praise them enough. After 11 years of trying for a baby, 1 round of IVF resulted in my beautiful daughter being conceived. I have since had a second baby naturally and I am still forever grateful to Manchester Fertility for helping my dream come true.

Didn t receive results when told I would, obviously I was no good to egg share and bottom of the pile to tell me so. Very bad experience and I feel it s put me off the whole ivf at this moment.

Being a single women, making the decision to have a baby by myself with donor sperm was really hard. But my dream of being a mom was long awaited. The staff at manchester fertility are so supportive and friendly. I felt relaxed and welcomed from the very 1st visit.
They explained everything at every stage, kept me updated and regularly just checked in with me to make sure i was ok.
I had icsi treatment and it worked 1st attempt. I now have my beautiful boy who is 2months old and i couldnt be more grateful to every member of staff at manchester fertility for the outstanding difference they make every single day to peoples lives. Highly recommend their services

Amazing clinic with amazing and friendly staff. Whenever we went we were made to feel like people rather than a statistic. We tried another clinic prior to this and felt like we were a hinderance. We have beautiful 18 month old twin girls thanks to the effort and support of all the staff here at Amelia House. We are considering adding to our brood in the future and cannot wait to go back here. I was so ill after the embryo transfer, but the staff were there every step of the way with support and advice. It was due to my body getting used to the impending pregnancy, nothing at all to do with how i was treated. We cannot thank you all enough xx

Thanks to MFC our family has been gifted with 3 beautiful children. Every time we attended our appointments we were treated with respect and dignity. They never gave us false hopes but we felt it, from the very beginning of our journey, that they were going to do everything to help us , to bring a little human to our life. The dreams came true.
We will be forever grateful for all the support during the treatment, for great empathy and understanding, for friendly welcome and warm goodbye.
Thank you.

If I could give 0 stars I would! There are several things wrong with this clinic:

- lack of communication, one receptionist tells you one thing and another tells you something else. I had my bloods done for rubella and they were convinced that I didn t!

- all they care about is money! As an example: I told them I wanted my iui on my October cycle back in early September, they informed me that was ok. I called them my first day of my period like they told me to do, since then they have never called me asking me to book an appointment for the procedure, instead they are calling me constantly just to pay my invoice. Why would I pay for something if I haven t even been booked in!

- we were the ones always chasing them! A business and consumer relationship works both ways!

- they act all caring and say they understand but they don t!

- I got my hopes up for the October cycle and then they tell me 2 days after I got my period that they a CMV and full blood count when they never previously mentioned that! This displays their incompetence and no communication!

My advise they may be cheaper than other places but go somewhere else!

Extremely professional, welcoming and friendly staff. They took the time to explain the whole process (and in laymans terms), they even had to explain it most times we went but they were happy to keep explaining. We felt supported through the entire process and now have a gorgeous little boy. Hoping to start the process all over again in 6 months!

Called for information on follicle tracking (scans and blood test) but the person I spoke to had a very bad attitude, didn t listen to what I was asking (didn t sound like she understood!) and was actually quite rude. Poor initial impression - has put me off and I certainly would not recommend.

What an amazing experience! Up until 5 months ago I didn't even know donating eggs was something you could do. Although explained as invasive which can sound quite off putting,do not let this put you off!if you have the desire to help another family, do it!! the whole procedure from initial contact right through to the egg collection has been relaxed and an enjoyable experience. The part I dreaded the most was the injections, however they were so straight forward and easy to do with very little side effects. The egg collection procedure was easy, the nurses and Drs put you at ease from the beginning. Everyone I dealt with at MF from receptionists, to donor staff, Drs, nurses all were professional,supportive and an absolute asset!

Called for information as a private patient but the person on the phone was rude, unplesant, offensive, uninformed and absolutely not someone I would want to encounter. Definitely not spending money here.

I was an egg donor at Manchester Fertility Clinic. I was treated with greatest care during my stay at the clinic and I've also been under their care after my egg donation. I have to say Manchester Fertility have highly trained team in every department. I couldn't have asked for better treatment and clinic staff who toked care of me during the whole process. I was informed about each step during the process. They have even designed an app which helps you with taking medications as well as appointments and important info. Process of donating eggs itself was conducted in very profesional and caring way. Doctors and nurses informed me about everything and the team made me feel safe. If I could chose again I would donate my eggs again at this clinic without thinking twice. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars here.

A fantastic experience resulting in our daughter. All staff were friendly and informative throughout. Can t fault them! Given us the best gift ever!

We just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at the Manchester Fertility Clinic. The staff there were very helpful and supportive at every step of our journey, we couldn't have done this without you and we will be eternally grateful to the team.

Manchester fertility is easy to find and the staff make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door and they support & help you in every way that you need.

Myself and my husband (Dan& Sammy) came to Manchester fertility for our first round of ivf and we were very fortunate that this was successful and we have a beautiful baby boy. I cannot fault the service or the staff, our experience was exceptional with them. We live about an hour from the clinic and they always booked us a few appointments in the same day and they were more than accommodating. We are looking forward to our second treatment in the future! Thank you!

Genuinely terrible communication. We emailed a complaint and never received any response to it. Their services are not cheap and they should provide a caring and efficient service. Unfortunately they didn't for us and we're moving to a different clinic.

After a failed round of IVF at another clinic, we came to Manchester Fertility. Right from the start I felt comfortable. They were professional, friendly and supportive. They have a great app which keeps you updated and are always there to answer any questions. We are now proud parents of a 7 week old little boy thanks to Manchester Fertility. Highly recommend.

We had a really lovely experience with Manchester Fertility Clinic, we felt at ease from the get go, went through all options and decided ICSI was the best for us. All staff from the minute you walk through the front door are so lovely and cant do enough. We were so fortunate that we were successful on our first round and have a beautiful baby now, we have recommended Mcr Fertility to other people too and we will be coming back (if needs be :)) Thanks to everyone for helping get us through such a big time in our life.

I've had a really good experience with manchester fertility and Dr Peter and all the nurses are very caring and now I am pregnant with my first IVF baby girl - highly recomended

My husband and I received treatment here early last year and we couldn't have been happier. All of the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and considerate and I would definitely recommend Manchester Fertility. Thank you for helping us to complete our family :-) xx

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with friendly and professional staff. Currently 29weeks pregnant with our first child. Thank you for everything!

We owe our happiness to Manchester fertility, we have a beautiful 19 month old little girl and I'm 30 weeks pregnant with our next little girl. Outstanding care and professionalism would give a million stars if I could.

My wife and I are so grateful to Manchester Fertility for the wonderful and professional treatment we received. We now have our beautiful baby girl who we would not have if it wasn't for you guys :). Highly recommend!

I attended Manchester Fertility as an Egg Sharer. The initial tests commenced in June'16 and I started my cycle at the end of November'16. At the beginning, my partner and I were asked to attend a number of appointments - one of these appointments was a blood test and we were told that it will take 4 weeks to receive the results. We both attended the blood test on the same day. Three weeks later, I received a call from the clinic and I was asked to repeat the blood tests - I was puzzled. I explained that I had already attended a blood test together with my partner, but I never received my results despite my partner receiving his. I asked if my bloods got lost, but I never received an answer. I raised a complaint and spoke to a manager about a number of concerns but she failed to answer my questions regarding the first lot of bloods / first blood test. I had to repeat the blood test, for no valid reason, and then wait 4 weeks for the results. This error has resulted in a 4-5 week delay to my treatment.I have never received any clarification as to why I had to repeat the blood tests!
I eventually started my treatment at the end of November 2016. I was happy with the process until the day of the embryo transfer. On the day, I was told to drink 2 pints of water an hour before the transfer which I did. I arrived at the clinic on time, just to find that they were running 30-40 minutes late. I was in a lot of pain from my bladder being too full, I couldn't even sit down. I got called in and the transfer was over in 15 minutes - I felt a bit rushed, I felt like a number and not a valued patient / egg sharer. I also didn't feel confident about the doctor that did the transfer, because I have never met her before.

I am very disappointed with Manchester Fertility and I feel let down - big time. In hindsight, I feel that I was not valued at all, I feel that I was only a number. Reading the websites of other clinics, I see that some clinics state that it is most important for them that the egg sharer achieves pregnancy. Manchester Fertility definitely do not care about the egg sharers as much as they should. Although they advertise for egg sharers at all times, they do not make you feel like you are important to them as an individual. And when you want to be an egg sharer again, they deny you the opportunity to be one. All this goes against the information written in their contract! Also, following the egg collection I was advised that all of my eggs (6) have fertilised. Two weeks later, another member of staff advised me that only 5 of my eggs have fertilised and one didn't. The doctor then advised me that I only had 5 eggs and that they have all fertilised. So my question is - what happened to the sixth egg??? It was confirmed to me that I indeed had 6 eggs, it was also confirmed that they have all fertilised. The story seems to have changed as the time went on, with me ending up with one less egg. I mean, this is a huge deal! That one egg could have made a massive difference!!!

Terrible experience here, after my first and second IUI fails I tried to discuss doing more to make the next one work and kept being told to do three cycles before they d look into anything further. Not everyone has thousands to keep throwing at clinics. I m 26 years old, no fertility issues, already conceived a son very easily and I m three IUIs down and not pregnant. If they had actually listened and cared enough when I tried to speak to them about medicated cycles etc I could be pregnant now. I don t think they even monitor you properly and if you want a scan they charge extra which should come with the packages as they re supposed to be monitoring you as stated in the package on their website - yet they don t at all, they leave you to do it all yourself at home. Wouldn t recommend and if I ever decide to go through treatment again I ll be finding a better clinic with staff who aren t condescending.

Positive experience, friendly staff and good location.

Would definatly rate this clinic 5 star, me and my husband went through 3 treatments with Mfs and are so lucky to have our beautiful baby girl that's just turned 1 in December, we will always be grateful for all they did for us, staff were fantastic always there when we needed them they were just a phone call away, we have a frozen embryo with Mfs and will definatly be seeing them again in a few months time, thankyou to all the dedicated team that you have you are all truly amazing. Love Julie and Dave clay
