TREATMENT OPTIONS AT THE LONDON WOMEN’S CLINIC IUI, IVF & ICSI Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) combined with superovulation using washed sperm is often effective in the case of mild abnormalities in sperm parameters.
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) requires fewer motile sperm because natural transport barriers are bypassed and sperm come in contact with multiple oocytes from superovulation.
Intacytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) has revolutionized the treatment of severe male factor infertility problems, especially when the sperm is surgically retrieved. One single sperm is injected into each egg, with a fertilisation rate of around 70%.
THREE CYCLE IVF PACKAGE Past results demonstrate that success rates improve dramatically when IVF treatment is adopted as a course of treatment rather than a one-off attempt. The London Women's Clinic appreciate that this maybe cost prohibitive for some and is therefore currently offering a '3-Cycle Package' which offers three treatments for the price of two.
The response to this package has been tremendous and the success rates good. We have found that patients are more relaxed from the outset if they know that they have multiple chances for a pregnancy. Patients booking this form of treatment will be treated for up to three cycles within a period of one year.
EGG SHARING & EGG DONATION The London Women’s Clinic championed the practice of egg sharing in the UK. Our egg donation programme provides hope to many women who previously believed they could not have children. The London Women’s Clinic egg-sharing programme provides IVF treatment at a vastly reduced cost to women who are willing and able to share some of their eggs.
Donors do not pay anything for the IVF part of their treatment and only contribute to the cost of the initial consultation, blood tests and any additional procedures that may be required. We endeavour to match the physical characteristics of donor and recipient.
Donors should be under the age of 36 at the time of treatment, preferably with confirmed fertility and no history of genetic disorders. All donors are thoroughly screened for transmissible diseases. We synchronize the recipient's cycle with that of the donor and the donor undergoes a similar stimulation protocol as discussed in the IVF cycle.
SPERM DONATION
The London Women's clinic caters to Lesbian couples who are looking to have a baby. With more than 10,000 vials of donor sperm held in deep-freeze storage, The London Women’s Clinic is now Britain’s largest sperm bank. We have no waiting list for donor sperm.
Donors come from a wide range of ethnic, educational and social backgrounds and all have been carefully screened for infections that could otherwise be passed on to you or your unborn child. The London Women’s Clinic (LWC) is often described as the fertility clinic of choice for single women and same sex couples.
At the LWC, we have been treating lesbian couples and single women wanting to start a family for more than 10 years. Indeed we were one of the very first clinics in the UK to do so. We have helped more than 2000 single women and lesbian couples in their desire to have healthy babies. Our caring and supportive medical staff are committed to offering all our patients the best chance of achieving pregnancy and childbirth.

Infertility is the powerlessness of a couple to become pregnant (regardless of cause) after 1 year of unprotected sexual intercourse. IVF in the United Kingdom offers infertile couples a chance to have a child who is biologically linked to them.
With IVF, a method of assisted reproduction, sperm and eggs are combined in a laboratory dish, where fertilization occurs. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the woman's uterus to implant and develop naturally.
