Your treatment timeline with Kind

Understanding the Kind iVF process

Every fertility journey is unique, however with Kind iVF there is a standardised treatment timeline and protocol that our patients will follow. We've broken this down into easily understandable steps for you.

Step 1

Fertility Assessment – from £315

We need to determine whether Kind iVF is right for you. We'll assess the following to confirm your eligibility.

Under 37 years old

Formulated to maximise success for people who are 36 and under, as they respond best to our Kind approach. You must begin your treatment medications before your 37th birthday to be eligible.

BMI of 30 or less

BMI is a shorthand calculation based on height and bodyweight. To proceed to treatment, we require a BMI of 30 or less, as we find women in this grouping are less likely to encounter complex treatment difficulties.

Diagnostic tests

We'll measure your ovarian reserve with an AMH blood test, and you'll have an ultrasound scan to assess your antral-follicle count, uterus and fallopian tubes and to check for any gynaecological conditions that could affect your fertility. If you have a male partner, your assessment will be combined with a semen analysis, to give a full picture of your reproductive health and most effective path forward.

Step 2

Doctor Consultation

Following your fertility tests you’ll have a consultation with one of our Kind consultants to complete your fertility health assessment. They’ll go through your results with you, your previous medical history and any previous fertility treatment outcomes you may have had. Using this information your doctor will be able to advise whether you're eligible for Kind iVF and confirm your treatment plan. With Kind iVF, your treatment is doctor-led from the start.

Step 3

Treatment Programme – From £2,950

Following your diagnostic fertility tests and doctor consultation, you'll speak to one of the Kind team to get started with your treatment. We can share information about our payment plans that may help you spread your costs. Once your plan is confirmed, your treatment can start and you'll be invited to a nurse consultation and your pre-treatment blood tests.

What is the Kind iVF treatment process?

While you and your journey are unique, the steps in the process are the same.

Kind iVF patient pathway nurse consultation

1. Nurse consultation & pre-treatment screening tests

Your nurse will confirm your medication plan and ensure you are fully informed about the process. You'll also have your pre-treatment screening blood tests at the clinic.

2. Medications begin

The nurse will have informed you when to take your medications. This is the stimulation phase of your treatment.

3. Monitoring scans

Ultrasound scans will be used to track your progress during stimulation. Your ovaries will be closely monitored to allow us to identify the correct time to collect your eggs.

Kind iVF patient pathway trigger injection

4. Trigger injection

Once your follicles have reached a certain size, you will be instructed to self-administer a “trigger injection” to encourage ovulation. Your nurse will talk you through how to correctly administer your trigger.

5. Egg collection

Approximately 36 hours after your trigger injection you will attend the London Women’s Clinic for your egg collection. This takes place under sedation and will take approximately 20 minutes.

6. Embryology

The embryology team will take your collected eggs and fertilise them using IVF or ICSI depending on your treatment plan. The embryology team will carefully monitor the development of the resulting embryos using timelapse imaging.

Kind iVF patient pathway embryo transfer

7. Embryo transfer

You will have your embryo transfer five days after your egg collection. The embryology team will keep you updated on the progress of your developing embryos following your egg collection. The embryo transfer procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and does not require any sedation.

8. Pregnancy test

Two weeks after your embryo transfer you will have a BHCG blood test to measure the level of pregnancy hormone in your blood. The result will determine if your treatment was successful.
