IVF and fertility care
in London
IVF with The Wellness starts in London, with ninety days of preparation for both of you. Treatment then takes place at one of our partner centres in the UK, Switzerland or the United States. The same doctor looks after you from your first consultation to your first scan.
What we prepare,
and why
Much of what shapes a cycle is set in the three months before it starts. We use that window deliberately, for both partners, and leave the day itself to the partner centre.
Eggs
Eggs take about ninety days to mature, and nutrition, hormones and stress all shape their quality. We track the markers that matter and adjust the plan as they move.
More detail
- Mitochondrial health, supported by targeted supplements and lifestyle changes, is linked to higher fertilisation rates and better embryo quality.
- Epigenetic programming: our preparation reduces oxidative stress and supports healthy methylation.
Sperm
Sperm take about seventy-four days to regenerate, and male factors are part of around half of fertility challenges. We work both sides.
More detail
- We optimise the full cycle with nutrition, supplements and the lifestyle changes that move the markers most.
- DNA integrity: beyond a standard semen analysis we assess DNA fragmentation and other advanced markers. Where the data points to a specific issue, the reviewing clinician addresses it directly.
Embryos
On the day, the laboratory work is the partner centre’s. Our part is the preparation before it, and a clear conversation about embryo screening.
More detail
- Blastocyst culture to day five, when an embryo’s potential is clearer, gives more to choose between at transfer.
- Time-lapse imaging and AI assess thousands of data points per embryo, an extra layer beside the embryologist’s eye, not a replacement for it.
- Where indicated, embryos are screened for chromosomal abnormality before transfer.
Transfer
Freezing gives flexibility on timing, and the uterus is receptive for only a short window. Modern freezing achieves very high survival rates.
More detail
- Vitrification: in many cases, outcomes similar to a fresh transfer.
- Endometrial receptivity: where indicated, we test and tailor timing so transfer matches your individual implantation window.

Your cycle,
in one place
With your results, scans and appointments sit in one record that you and your partner both see.
Each result is read against the ones before it, so the picture builds from one cycle to the next.
Ask a question at any hour, with your history in front of the answer. Anything for your doctor goes to your doctor.
You: Will Thursday’s scan hurt? I am nervous.
wai: Read your record. Looked at your appointment on Thursday. Most people find the scan uncomfortable rather than painful, and it takes about fifteen minutes. You can ask them to stop at any point. Your notes say your partner will join you. Dr Whitfield will go through what it shows straight afterwards. If you would like to talk it over first, she can call you. Dr Whitfield can call you tomorrow. Request a call.

Questions,
answered.
Not for everyone. In a 2021 randomised trial, Live Birth with or without Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (New England Journal of Medicine), 496 of 606 women in the conventional-IVF group and 468 of 606 in the PGT-A group had a live birth after up to three embryo transfers within one year of randomisation. Participants were aged 20 to 37 and already had at least three good-quality blastocysts, and live birth was defined as birth at 28 weeks or later. Conventional IVF was noninferior to PGT-A for this outcome. These selected-population results do not predict an individual outcome, show an advantage for our preparation programme, or compare directly with a national per-transfer rate. Where screening is indicated, we discuss with you what it can and cannot do.
Eggs take roughly ninety days to mature, so the preparation programme uses that whole window: nutrition, supplements and lifestyle adjustments tuned to the markers we are tracking. It is intended to support egg and sperm health before a cycle begins. It cannot guarantee a result.
No clinic can guarantee pregnancy. What this programme offers is access to leading centres and protocols, the medical preparation that gives a cycle the best chance of working, and an honest physician relationship throughout.
Horizon and Legacy programmes include multiple cycles to increase the cumulative chance of a healthy live birth. Genesis can be extended to a second cycle if and when you decide that is the right next step.
A network of GMC-registered consultants working with HFEA-licensed London fertility centres handles your UK-based care: assessments, monitoring, scans, and the pregnancy care that follows. We will share the named consultant and licensed centre coordinating your specific cycle at the start of your programme.
IVF cycles start from £4,500-£6,000 for treatment only. Complete packages including medication, monitoring, and embryo transfer range from £7,000-£10,000. Fees then vary by partner centre and clinical complexity, and we agree yours at consultation. Genesis covers one prepared cycle, Horizon two and Legacy three. Additional options such as ICSI, PGT or egg freezing carry separate fees.
We offer IVF, ICSI, IUI, egg freezing, embryo freezing, donor programmes, PGT genetic testing, fertility assessments, and hormone optimization. The specialists we work with create personalized treatment plans based on your situation.
A single IVF cycle typically takes 4-6 weeks from starting medication to embryo transfer. Including initial consultations and testing, the process from first appointment to transfer is usually 8-12 weeks. With the ninety days of preparation first, the programme runs about four months from first consultation to treatment.
No GP referral is required. You can book directly with our fertility specialists. We offer initial fertility assessments that include all necessary testing to determine the best treatment approach.
A fertility assessment includes hormone testing (AMH, FSH, LH), ultrasound scan to assess ovarian reserve, semen analysis for partners, consultation with a fertility specialist, and discussion of treatment options. AMH describes how many eggs remain, not their quality, and cannot predict whether you will conceive.
IUI (intrauterine insemination) places sperm directly in the uterus during ovulation. It is less invasive and less expensive, but has lower success rates. IVF involves fertilizing eggs outside the body and transferring embryos. It is more complex, with higher success rates.
Egg freezing preserves your eggs at their current quality for future use. It is ideal for women who want to delay pregnancy for personal or medical reasons. Best results are achieved when eggs are frozen before age 35.
Some private health insurance policies cover fertility investigations and certain treatments. We can provide documentation for insurance claims.
