Assisted Conception Services at Nuffield Health Woking Hospital

We welcome you to the Victoria Wing, a centre of excellence in the field of assisted conception, based at our Nuffield Health Woking Hospital.

We offer expert fertility treatment from pre-conception right through to early pregnancy. Our dedicated team of medical and scientific staff can offer you a complete range of assisted reproductive treatments, such as ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). We also operate an active egg donation and egg sharing programmes.

Our staff are amongst the most skilled and experienced in the UK and they aim to offer a sensitive, caring and compassionate environment for all our patients. Our excellent success rates reflect our attention to detail and our commitment to care.

Our clinic is based within a friendly, small private hospital, in a leafy suburb of Woking. We are conveniently located close to both the M25 and the M3, and are easily accessible from London, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and Sussex.

NHS funding available to some IVF patients

We are delighted to announce that we are one of the hospitals selected by the South Central Commissioning Group to provide NHS-funded IVF treatment. We are also currently providing NHS funded IVF treatment for the Surrey PCT.

Secondary Infertility Group

Are you coping with infertility while parenting? The challenges and frustrations of secondary infertility are unique. A new evening group is being formed for informal discussion. We hope to meet up about every 6 weeks in the Victoria Wing.

For further information you can email suze.fisher@nuffieldhealth.com.

The Woking Infertility Self Help (WISH) Group

We hold regular meetings here at our hospital for the Woking Infertility Self Help (WISH) Group. The WISH group is a valuable partnership between the unit and the patients. We aim to provide support and information, and are affiliated with INUK. There are always new faces at each meeting, and men are very welcome. The group is informal, with no counselling or self disclosure involved, so if you are interested in finding out more please come along. There is no need to pre book.

Have you thought about egg sharing?

For some couples, egg sharing is an option which can allow them to help another couple who cannot produce their own eggs.

A woman who is accepted onto the egg sharing scheme will not pay for the IVF, her screening tests or for the drugs which are required. All the other fees are payable as usual.

An egg sharing cycle is the same as 'normal' IVF except that we will need to complete some additional screening prior to treatment, which may mean waiting a little longer. On the day of egg collection, half of the eggs which are collected are donated to another couple.

If the recipient of the donated eggs is successful and gives birth, that child can, on reaching the age of 18, make enquiries as to the identity of the egg donor.

Criteria for acceptance on to the egg sharing scheme

The egg sharer should:

• Be between the ages of 18-35
• Be fit and healthy with a BMI of 20-30
• Have an FSH level on day 2-4 of the cycle less than 10 iu/L
• Have a normal or above normal AMH level for their age
• Have no previous history of severe endometriosis, or of having one ovary removed
• Have no history of transmissible disease
• Have no family history of inheritable disorders
• Be a non-smoker for a minimum of 3 months
• Have had no more than two previous unsuccessful cycles.

If you would like to discuss our shared egg scheme further, please call us on 01483 227 859 and speak to one of the egg donation nurses, or leave your name and number and we will return your call as soon as they can.
