Is Kind IVF right for me? Eligibility explained simply

Kind IVF may be right for you if you meet our age, BMI and ovarian reserve criteria and are looking for a clear, affordable route through IVF, ICSI or donor IVF. These criteria can give you an idea of whether Kind could suit you, but your individual suitability will always be confirmed after a fertility assessment and consultation.

Our fertility health assessment looks at the factors that help us understand your fertility and whether Kind is the right pathway for your circumstances. If you need more specialist care, we can also help you explore the wider options available through London Women’s Clinic.

Book a fertility health assessment to find out whether Kind could be suitable for you.

The short answer: who is Kind IVF for?

Kind is designed for patients who can begin their medication before their 37th birthday, have a BMI of 30 or less and have a suitable ovarian reserve. Your ovarian reserve is assessed using an AMH blood test and pelvic ultrasound scan during a fertility health assessment.

These aren’t the only factors we consider. Your reproductive health and medical history, previous cycles and the type of fertility care you need can also influence the route we recommend. If your circumstances are more complex, this doesn’t mean you’re out of options – our partners at London Women’s Clinic can offer a more individualised, specialist plan that may be a better pathway for you.

Kind IVF eligibility at a glance

Kind was created to make private fertility care more accessible, with straightforward pathways and transparent package pricing. Our eligibility criteria help us identify patients whose circumstances are suited to this streamlined model, allowing us to keep our packages affordable while providing high-quality fertility care.

The criteria aren’t a measure of whether you can have IVF, or your chances of success. They simply help us understand whether Kind is the right setting for your care. If you need a more individualised approach, we can introduce you to London Women’s Clinic, where a wider range of fertility options and specialist support is available.

Age: why Kind is designed for patients under 37

Kind is designed for patients who can begin their treatment medication before your 37th birthday. Age is one of the factors we use to determine whether Kind’s streamlined packages are suitable for you, as fertility and response to ovarian stimulation can change as we get older.

If you’re 37 or over, or are likely to reach your 37th birthday before starting medication, you may still have fertility options available through London Women’s Clinic which specialises in more tailored treatment including IVF for women over 40.

BMI: what the Kind BMI criteria means

To be suitable for Kind, your BMI needs to be 30 or less when you begin treatment. BMI is one of our eligibility factors because it can affect how fertility medication and procedures are planned and managed. It is considered alongside the other information gathered during your assessment to help us determine whether the Kind pathway is suitable for you.

If your BMI is currently above 30, this doesn’t mean IVF isn’t an option. The Kind team can explain your next steps, or you may be able to explore a different treatment plan with London Women’s Clinic.

AMH and ovarian reserve: what Kind needs to assess

Ovarian reserve refers to the number of eggs remaining in your ovaries. As part of your Kind assessment, we use an AMH blood test and pelvic ultrasound scan to help us understand your ovarian reserve and how your ovaries may respond to stimulation medication.

For the Kind pathway, your AMH level should usually be between 6 and 35 pmol/l. This range helps us identify patients whose expected response is suited to Kind’s streamlined approach. An AMH result below 6 pmol/l may indicate a lower ovarian reserve, while a result above 35 pmol/l can be associated with a higher response to stimulation.

Your AMH result isn’t considered on its own, however. Your clinician will review it alongside your ultrasound scan and the other information gathered during your fertility health assessment before confirming whether Kind is suitable for you.

You can still explore IVF treatment if your AMH falls outside this range. You may simply benefit from a more individualised approach to medication and monitoring, in which case we can introduce you to the specialists at London Women’s Clinic for further assessment and advice.

Previous fertility history: when the pathway may need more review

Your previous fertility and medical history also helps us understand which route is most suitable. Having had fertility treatment before doesn’t automatically mean Kind isn’t an option, but some circumstances may need a more detailed clinical review before you go ahead.

This could include previous failed IVF cycles, recurrent miscarriage, a history of responding very little or very strongly to stimulation medication, previous reproductive surgery or other medical factors that could make your care more complex.

Where more specialist investigation or a highly individualised treatment plan would be helpful, we may recommend continuing your care with London Women’s Clinic instead. The aim is to make sure you’re directed towards the fertility pathway that can provide the level of support your circumstances require.

Which Kind package might fit?

If you are eligible for Kind treatment, the next step is understanding which package matches the type of fertility care you need. Your assessment and consultation will help us confirm this before you start.

Kind IVF uses standard IVF, where eggs and sperm are brought together in the laboratory for fertilisation. If there is a clinical reason for a single sperm to be injected directly into each egg instead, Kind ICSI may be the route offered. Kind Donor IVF is also available if you need donor sperm to build your family with donor choice supported by our partners at London Sperm Bank.

You don’t need to work out which package you need before booking. We’ll talk you through the options available to you in your consultation.

When London Women’s Clinic may be a better next step

Kind’s eligibility criteria allow us to offer a more streamlined fertility pathway, but some patients benefit from care that can be adapted more extensively to their individual circumstances. If this applies to you, we can introduce you to our partners at London Women’s Clinic.

This may be the case if you:

●     are outside Kind’s age, BMI or ovarian reserve criteria

●     have experienced repeated unsuccessful IVF cycles or recurrent miscarriage

●     have previously had a particularly low or high response to ovarian stimulation

●     have a more complex medical or fertility history

●     are considered at higher risk of OHSS

●     need donor eggs

●     have complex male-factor fertility needs

●     require further investigations or a more individualised IVF plan.

Being outside the Kind criteria doesn’t mean you can’t have fertility treatment. London Women’s Clinic offers a broader range of investigations and treatment options, allowing its specialists to build a treatment plan around more complex needs.

What happens in the Kind fertility health assessment?

Your fertility health assessment gives our clinical team the information they need to assess whether Kind could be suitable for you. It includes an AMH blood test and pelvic ultrasound scan to look at your ovarian reserve, plus a semen analysis where relevant.

You’ll then have a consultation to bring the results together with your medical and fertility history. Your clinician will explain what they mean, answer your questions and discuss the options available. This is when your suitability for Kind can be confirmed – you don’t need to interpret your AMH or scan results yourself.

You can see the different assessment options and their current costs on our pricing page.

How to prepare before you book

You don’t need to have everything figured out before booking a fertility health assessment. However, having some information to hand can help us build a clearer picture of your circumstances.

Where relevant, it can be useful to have:

●     your age and current BMI

●     results from any recent AMH tests, fertility scans or semen analyses

●     details of previous IVF or other fertility treatment, including how you responded to medication

●     information about previous pregnancies or miscarriages

●     details of relevant medical conditions, surgery and current medication

●     whether you’re planning treatment with a partner or using donor sperm

●     information about any previous or current NHS fertility care.

Don’t worry if you don’t have recent fertility test results. The Kind assessment is designed to gather the information we need to understand your fertility and establish your next steps.

Kind IVF eligibility FAQs

Is Kind IVF right for me?

Kind may be right for you if you meet our age, BMI and ovarian reserve criteria and your circumstances are suited to our streamlined, package-led approach. Your final suitability will be confirmed following a fertility health assessment and clinical review.

What is the age limit for Kind IVF?

You’ll need to start your treatment medication before your 37th birthday to meet Kind’s age criterion. If you’re 37 or over, London Women’s Clinic may be able to offer a more individualised fertility pathway.

What BMI do I need for Kind IVF?

Kind’s current criterion is a BMI of 30 or less. BMI is one of several factors we consider when assessing whether our streamlined pathway is suitable for your care – it isn’t a measure of your fertility or your chances of having a baby.

What AMH level do I need for Kind IVF?

Kind’s current AMH range is 6–35 pmol/l. Your AMH result helps us understand your ovarian reserve and how you may respond to stimulation, but it isn’t considered on its own. We’ll review it alongside your ultrasound scan and other assessment results before confirming whether Kind is suitable for you.

What does ‘good ovarian reserve’ mean?

Ovarian reserve refers to the number of eggs remaining in your ovaries. For Kind, we assess this using your AMH level alongside your pelvic ultrasound scan. Your clinician will explain your results during your consultation rather than expecting you to interpret them yourself.

Can I use Kind IVF if I have had previous failed IVF?

Possibly. Previous IVF doesn’t automatically rule out Kind, but your treatment history may mean you need further clinical review. If you’ve had repeated unsuccessful cycles or need more individualised investigation or care, London Women’s Clinic may offer a more suitable pathway through their Implantation Clinic.

Can I use Kind if I need ICSI?

Yes. Kind ICSI is available where there is a clinical reason to use ICSI rather than standard IVF. If you’d like to understand the procedure in more detail, you can also read about ICSI at London Women’s Clinic.

Can I use Kind with donor sperm?

Yes. Kind Donor IVF is designed for patients who need donor sperm and currently includes one vial of donor sperm from London Sperm Bank. You can explore available donors and learn more about choosing donor sperm through London Sperm Bank.

What happens if I am not suitable for Kind?

Being outside Kind’s criteria doesn’t mean fertility treatment isn’t available to you. We can introduce you to London Women’s Clinic, which offers a wider range of fertility treatments, investigations and more individualised care for patients with more complex needs.

What should I have ready before booking an assessment?

If you have them, it can be helpful to gather any recent AMH results, fertility scans or semen analysis results, as well as details of previous fertility treatment, relevant medical history and current medication. You should also know your age and BMI and let us know about any previous or current NHS fertility care. You don’t need to arrange new tests yourself before booking your Kind assessment.

Ready to find out if Kind is right for you?

The first step is to book a fertility health assessment. We’ll look at your fertility results and medical history, talk through your circumstances and confirm whether Kind is a suitable pathway for you.

You can also explore our current pricing to understand assessment and package costs before you book. If your needs fall outside Kind’s criteria or you would benefit from more specialist care, we can help you explore the wider options available through London Women’s Clinic.
