In IVF treatment we aim to stimulate the ovaries with fertility drugs so as to obtain as many eggs as possible. The eggs are then mixed with sperm to achieve fertilisation, and usually one, two or exceptionally three embryos are placed in the uterus to optimise the chances of pregnancy.

If you are advised that IVF is the course of treatment suitable for you, detailed  information on our website will help you to understand what is entailed. You should keep a note of your period dates and inform us which month is suitable for you to attend for treatment. We can usually adjust your period dates to suit your work schedule.

It is a good idea to think about your own health and well-being prior to, and during IVF treatment. Pay close attention to diet and your lifestyle before conception to enable your body to cope with the demands of pregnancy, childbirth and hopefully ensure a healthy mother and baby.

Eat a healthy and balanced diet, including plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and fibre. Drink at least 6 glasses of water daily. Cut down on sweet snacks like chocolate and fatty foods. Avoid unpasteurised dairy produce during pregnancy and aim to reduce the consumption of pre-cooked, prechilled foods to avoid food poisoning.
