IVF  
IVF is one of the primary treatments o ered for couples experiencing infertility and is a more  involved 
procedure than IUI as it requires stimulating your ovaries to produce eggs, retrieving your eggs, having 
an embryologist fertilise them with your partners sperm or donated sperm in a laboratory, followed by 
close observation of any developing embryos, until the optimum time for  transfer which ensures only 
the best quality embryos are placed back into your uterus so that they can continue growing as with a 
normal pregnancy.  
WHY? 
If you or your partner have been diagnosed with a genetic, anatomical or  hormonal fertility problem, 
you are likely to be o ered IVF treatment as which  provides a greater chance of success than other 
treatments. 
Your consultant will advise if an IVF treatment pathway is appropriate for you, particularly if you or your 
partner have been diagnosed with any of the  following; 
Fallopian tube damage or blockage 
Ovulation disorders including premature ovarian failure  
Endometriosis 
Uterine broids 
Impaired sperm production  
Unexplained infertility 
A genetic disorder 
ICSI  
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) was introduced as a clinical level improvement to conventional 
IVF treatments. It involves carefully selecting only one single sperm of the best quality for injection  
into an egg to achieve fertilisation. s procedure is done using a high precision technique called 
‘micromanipulation’. e resulting embryo is then transferred back into the uterus to continue its      
development as with a normal  pregnancy.  
WHY? 
ICSI is recommended when there is severe male factor infertility, including low sperm concentration, 
poor motility, blockages in the male reproductive tract or where there is a desire to get pregnant a r 
having had a vasectomy. It may also be advised when the female has a very low yield of eggs during 
egg retrieval so as to  directly improve the chances of fertilisation by clinical intervention. Your IVF 
London consultant may also recommend this enhanced procedure if a previous IVF treatment has     
resulted in a low fertilisation rate of eggs. 
HOW? 
e woman will be required to undergo ovarian stimulation to prepare her eggs for collection as in a 
traditional IVF treatment plan. e sperm from the male partner will then be processed, washed and 
inspected in our laboratory to select only one sperm which will then be carefully injected into a         
retrieved egg. e aim is to inject the most normal looking sperm with good  progressive movement 
into each mature egg.  In cases of surgically retrieved sperm ICSI or PICSI may be recommended to 
achieve fertilisation. 
When is ICSI 
required? 
 Genetic     
Testing  
PGT-A 
Also known as aneuploidy screening 
Used to check the number of chromosomes in an embryo. A euploid 
(normal) embryo should have 23 pairs of chromosomes 
Enables the selection of a chromosomally normal embryo 
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is used for the testing of the embryos 
and is one of the most technologically advanced methods of genetic  
testing 
PGT-A does not guarantee a chromosomally normal embryo 
Who would PGT-A be 
recommended for? 
Women over the age of 38 
Peo ple with a history of 
repeated implantation 
failure 
People with a history of 
repeated miscarriage 
 
 Genetic   
Testing  
PGT-M 
Also known as PGD 
Recommended for couples who have a history of a genetic disease in 
their family 
Requires a ‘work-up’ prior to embryo creation to ensure that condition 
can be tested for 
Karyomapping used to test for condition 
Process similar to PGT-A 
 
PGT-SR 
Used in patients where there is a chromosomal structural rearrangement 
PGT-SR is appropriate for people who have had a child or pregnancy with  
a chromosomal rearrangement or if you or your partner are a carrier of 
any one of these three primary types of rearrangements: 
Reciprocal translocations 
Robertsonian translocations 
Inversions 
Treatments for  
same-sex couples 
You will be o ered support from our counselling team prior 
to any treatment to help you understand the emotional and 
legal issues in order that you are completely comfortable and     
con dent with your decision to proceed 
Our laboratory team will help you nd a suitable donor from 
our collaborating European, American and UK sperm donor 
banks. e matching of donors can be done with your      
speci c requirements 
If suitable we would always start with the mildest approach to 
treatment such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) using donor 
sperm. e procedure involves placing donor sperm closer to 
the egg at the time of ovulation in the hope it is fertilised. 
In some cases IVF (using donor sperm) may be more appro-
priate and o ers a higher chance of pregnancy compared to 
IUI. Any resulting embryos are then transferred into your 
uterus to continue development as a pregnancy. 
If you are in a same-sex relationship and wish one partner to 
donate her eggs and the other partner to carry the pregnancy 
then ‘shared motherhood’ is an option that provides both 
partners the intimate experience of a shared maternal role 
when starting a family. 
Treatment for  
Single women 
Donor insemination (DI) may be recommended as an e ective treatment 
for single women who desire a start a family.  
We will help you get started as a sperm recipient (via donation) process    
unless you already have a donor in mind. You will begin by reviewing donor 
pro les which enables you to select which donor may be the best ‘ t’ for 
you. IVF London only use donors in accordance with stringent HFEA criteria. 
is means that donated sperm will usually be provided by men between the 
ages of 18 and 41. Sperm donors will have been required to undertake a     
series of health tests/screening, including HIV and hepatitis, to ensure that 
they do not pass on any serious diseases or medical conditions to you or 
your baby 
 
Sperm Donation and the Law: 
Sperm donor is only able to create 10 families within the UK. e donors 
identifying information must be given to the HFEA for its con dential      
register. When a donor-conceived person becomes 18, they are able to     
contact the HFEA and request the identifying information for their sperm 
donor 
Timelapse           
Imaging 
ere is a growing body of evidence time-lapse systems have a signi cant positive impact 
on success rates compared to traditional incubators. ey generate images of the         
embryos every 10 to 15 minutes, creating a time-lapse video of embryo development. 
is enables our embryologists to analyse and identify any potential aberrations in      
embryo development that would be missed when using conventional incubation        
techniques. is helps us improve embryo selection for transfer, cryopreservation and  
biopsy.  
Uninterrupted culture of embryos  
ensuring stable environment 
Allows embryologists to analyse   
every stage of embryo development 
Provides ‘real-time’ footage of       
embryos and a continuous overview 
Allows observation of key events to 
aid embryo selection for transfer 
Embryoscope works hand in hand 
with arti cial intelligent technology 
to give embryos a quality score 
    
    
Embryo Assist 
AI 
IVF London has partnered with Fairtility™ to introduce arti cial intelligence into the       
laboratory. Embryo Assist AI powered by CHLOE™ (Cultivating Human Life through      
Optimal Embryos) is a transparent AI-based decision support tool. Embryo Assist AI    
provides clinicians and patients with visibility into the clinical and laboratory data to help 
improve IVF outcomes.  
Patients are able to watch a live feed of their embryos on their phones. e embryologists 
can then interpret these images for the patients when they receive their embryo updates. 
e algorithm that powers the AI has been trained on tens of thousands of embryos.  
e AI starts scoring embryos from day 2 a er fertilisation and provides a running score 
until blastocyst development. Along with the score, the embryos are also ranked to give 
embryologists more information on which embryo to select for transfer.

Intralipid Infusion 
Raised natural killer cell activity can act against 
embryo implantation 
Intralipid infusions can help to lower the activity
