Frequently asked questions
How long is the NHS waiting list for IVF in Exeter?
NHS waiting times in South West England vary between 12 and 36 months depending on your clinical commissioning group. Eligibility criteria also differ by area, and not all patients meet funding requirements. Many Exeter residents choose private or abroad treatment to avoid these delays.
What is included in the 2,000 to 3,500 pounds fertility treatment package abroad?
All-inclusive packages typically cover initial consultations, diagnostic tests, hormone medications, egg collection, fertilisation, embryo transfer, and one year of embryo storage. Laboratory fees, anaesthesia, and follow-up scans are generally included. Accommodation and flights are separate unless specified by the clinic.
Can I use my NHS referral letter when seeking treatment abroad?
Yes, many international fertility clinics welcome NHS referral letters and medical records from Exeter. Sending your records in advance helps clinics understand your history and tailor treatment. Some clinics offer pre-treatment consultations by video call with Exeter patients.
What is the success rate for IVF treatment in Cyprus compared with Exeter?
Cyprus clinics report live birth rates of 40 to 50 percent per cycle for women under 35, comparable with UK clinics. Success depends on age, egg quality, and individual circumstances rather than location. International clinics are accredited to the same standards as UK facilities.
How do I arrange a trip from Exeter for fertility treatment abroad?
Contact your chosen clinic to book an initial consultation and treatment plan. Many clinics coordinate with Exeter patients to schedule procedures around your travel availability. Flight and accommodation services can be arranged independently, with treatment typically requiring one 10 to 14 day visit.
