At Manchester Fertility we use some of the most advanced infertility techniques and technologies available in the world today to help you have a baby. This investment only happens following considerable research by our expert team. We do not offer what we consider to be experimental treatments or techniques.
Advanced techniques, additional treatments or procedures are only offered if we believe that they could make a genuine difference to the outcome for a large number of our patients - giving you trust, assurance and confidence in your treatment. And in line with our aim of ensuring fertility treatment is accessible for all, we don’t charge you extra to benefit from many of these technologies, unlike other clinics. Innovations available to you include
Do you need a sperm donor to have a baby and have a known donor? Or do you need to use a surrogate? We now offer NAAT screening for these types of treatments, where the sperm donor’s samples need to be frozen to go through a quarantine period before they can be released for your use. A more sophisticated test than the usual post-quarantine screens, our NAAT screening means the waiting time for you to start treatment is reduced from the usual six months to a much-shorter two months. DNA fragmentation testing: Have you had an unexpected failed IVF cycle despite a good prognosis, or repeated miscarriages? We offer a DNA Fragmentation test that identifies whether DNA-damaged sperm is the cause. Sometimes sperm samples contain severely fragmented DNA, despite normal morphology (shape and size) and motility, and so the chances of a successful pregnancy are reduced. Our DNA Fragmentation test will tell you the percentage of DNA damaged sperm and whether this could affect your fertility, as well as recommending any treatments to help.
The very latest in embryo selection technology, our EmbryoScope gives our team a detailed analysis of your embryo’s development at every crucial stage, helping our team to select the highest-quality embryos to transfer. Vitrification: Vitrification is a special 'flash-freeze' technique we use when freezing eggs and embryos. It's a way of freezing the eggs and embryos without long exposure to the cryoprotectants used, which can cause damage to the cells. This method results in very high survival rates for both eggs and embryos Endometrial scratching: Endometrial scratching is a pre-IVF treatment, before your cycle starts, where your endometrial lining is gently scratched. Studies have shown that it changes the way the lining grows back, helping embryos to implant. This may be useful if you've had failed cycles through embryo implantation failure. You can book in for endometrial scratching as a private procedure, whether you are a patient with us or are having IVF treatment elsewhere.
