Kind Egg Freezing is currently available at our clinics in Darlington, York, Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea and Brighton.

Kind iVF is the sister clinic of London Women’s Clinic, an HFEA-licensed fertility provider with decades of experience in fertility care in the UK. 

Through our connection with London Women’s Clinic, Kind patients have access to the same experienced fertility teams, specialist laboratories and modern storage facility. Our teams care for both egg sharers and recipients, with secure facilities for the long-term storage of eggs and resulting embryos.

If Kind iVF isn’t suitable for you, we can refer you to London Women’s Clinic, our partner clinic, which offers a broader range of fertility treatments and specialist care.

Yes. Kind Egg Freezing helps you preserve your eggs today, so you have more options for tomorrow, whether for personal, medical, or gender-affirming reasons. It's currently available at our Darlington, Brighton, Cardiff, Bristol, York and Swansea clinics. To check your eligibility, start with a Fertility Health Assessment and our team will talk you through the process. 

We've partnered with London Sperm Bank (LSB) to give you access to ethical, regulated UK donor sperm. Our team will support you through the donor matching process, helping you choose the right sample for your treatment, so the experience feels as simple and reassuring as possible. Your specialist can talk you through this in more detail during your Fertility Health Assessment. 

Yes. Kind Donor IVF follows the same expert treatment as standard Kind iVF, with the addition of carefully selected donor sperm from our partners at London Sperm Bank (LSB), the UK's largest and most trusted sperm bank. Whether you're a solo mum by choice, part of a same-sex female couple, or facing male factor infertility, we support you through every step — from donor matching to selecting the right sample — combining ethical, regulated UK donor sperm with the personalised care you expect from Kind iVF. Your specialist will confirm your eligibility during a Fertility Health Assessment. 

We’re with you every step of the way. You’ll be guided and supported throughout your journey by our team of advisors, patient care coordinators, doctors, nurses and midwives, plus every treatment package includes a complimentary counselling session. Kind Donor iVF includes an additional implications counselling session. 

We also run regular free events, including clinic open days where you can meet the team, have a mini doctor consultation for free, and a clinic tour. If you prefer not to travel, we also offer regular monthly webinars with opportunities to ask anonymous questions. Visit our Events Page.

From your first consultation, treatment can begin within one or two months, depending on your cycle. Once treatment starts, it typically takes around two to three weeks from the first day of medication to embryo transfer. You’ll take a pregnancy test two weeks later to determine if the cycle was successful.

The first step is a Fertility Health Assessment, where we check key fertility markers to determine whether Kind iVF will work for you. If you decide to proceed with Kind iVF, we’ll guide you through pre-treatment preparation, including consent forms, viral screenings, and medication planning.

Once you’ve had your consultation, you may be able to begin treatment with your next menstrual cycle.

We offer a range of treatment options:

• Kind IVF – Our standard IVF package
• Kind ICSI – Includes ICSI, a laboratory technique to assist with sperm-related infertility
• Kind Donor IVF – Includes one vial of donor sperm from London Sperm Bank and an implications counselling session

If Kind iVF isn’t right for you, we can refer you to our partner clinic, London Women’s Clinic, for a more tailored approach and other treatments.

If you conceive naturally before or during your treatment, we’ll refund you in full, minus the cost of any services received, such as scans or medication.

Full payment is required before treatment begins. After your consultation, we’ll provide you with a full treatment plan and cost breakdown, so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer payment plan options through our partner, Humm.When do I pay for my IVF treatment?

Our packages aren't the right fit for everyone. They can't currently be combined with surgical sperm retrieval (SSR) or pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT-A), and they may not be suitable if you've had treatment for endometriosis or certain other gynaecological conditions. Don't worry if this applies to you — our team will talk through your options during your Fertility Assessment, so you're never left without a path forward. 

Our Kind iVF packages are comprehensive and cover the full cost of your IVF cycle including your pre-treatment tests, monitoring scans, medication, egg collection and fresh embryo transfer. However, there are several additional costs that may be incurred during treatment:

• Freezing (cryopreservation) of embryos is charged at £375 - £475 and embryo storage is a monthly direct debit of £32.50.
• Sperm storage fee is a monthly direct debit of £32.50. *You will be required to pay a storage fee for your donor sperm when it arrives at the clinic.
• If the sperm quality on the day of egg collection indicates that ICSI fertilisation is required, then this can be converted to ICSI for £1,450.
• In the case that you decide to import donor sperm from an external bank or clinic an administrative transport fee will be chargeable. When purchasing the Kind Donor IVF package there is no transport charge for sourcing sperm from our partner clinic London Sperm Bank, as one free vial of sperm is included in your package.
• If your doctor recommends freezing all embryos after egg collection due to OHSS risk, then the subsequent frozen embryo transfer will be offered at discounted price.
• In addition to your package price, you will need to pay the HFEA fee of £115, which is payable to our regulator, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.

61% of our patients achieve an ongoing pregnancy (past 20 weeks) and live birth. 

Cumulative ongoing pregnancy rate (after 20 weeks) and live birth rate after embryo transfer (645 out of 1052). 95% of patients underwent a single egg collection, only 5% a second collection. Average embryo transfers undertaken: 1.3
