PATIENT PATHWAY

Our simplified treatment programme is designed for efficiency and ease.

As easy as 1, 2, 3...

There are three simple steps:

1

Fertility Assessment

The fertility assessment is the first step in all treatment. The tests included in this assessment confirm if you meet our eligibility criteria.

Mask-Group-23@2x

Aged up to 37

Our treatment plans have been formulated to maximise success for women who fall into this range, as they respond best to our Kind approach, requiring less medication and scans. Women over 36, when natural fertility begins to decline, often need more personalised treatment. You must begin your treatment medications before your 37th birthday to be eligible.

Group 1805

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.

Mask-Group-25@2x

A good ovarian reserve

Ovarian reserve, measurable with a blood test, is often used as an indicator of fertility. Women with too low or too high of an ovarian reserve often respond poorly to treatment and may need specialised care – but we can evaluate this during your initial consultation and advise you accordingly.

Your eligibility for Kind iVF will usually be confirmed at your first consultation following an ultrasound scan and AMH test.

2

Consultation with a fertility consultant

Following your fertility assessment you will meet with one of our consultants. They will discuss all possible treatment options and confirm your individual treatment plan.

Treatment Programme

If the Kind IVF programme is suitable, you will start treatment. You can find out about the steps and process involved below or get in touch with a member of the team if you have any questions.

The treatment programme (in detail)

Although every treatment is unique, they will all follow a similar format.

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.

Group 1420
Path 879
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.

Kind iVF patient pathway egg collection

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.

Group 1420
Path 879
Kind iVF patient pathway embryology

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 three or 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.

Group 1420
Path 879
Kind iVF patient pathway pregnancy test

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.

If you’d like further information or have any questions about any aspect of Kind iVF, we are here to help.
