Access Fertility partners with fertility clinics to offer discounted IVF programmes.
We offer IVF and ICSI treatment programmes with up to a 100% refund if you do not have a baby.
We are not a clinic but partner with around 70 sites across the UK and Ireland to offer our IVF and ICSI treatment packages. You can find your nearest partner clinic by visiting our Partner Clinics page.
Treatment will take place at your chosen partner clinic. You will need to contact one of our partner clinics to attend an initial consultation and have your investigatory tests. Once these are complete, and the results are available, we will be able to begin your application and treatment will take place at your selected clinic.
Our Unlimited Programme is available to patients under 38.
Our Refund Programme is available to patients under 40.
Our Multi-Cycle Programme is available to patients under 45.
The Unlimited Programme offers you as many IVF cycles as you need over two years with a 100% refund if you don’t have a baby, all for a fixed fee.
This programme requires a medical review. If patients spend two years on the programme and do not have a live birth they receive a refund of 100% of their programme fee.
Our Refund Programme is available to patients under 40 using their own eggs and offers either 2 or 3 cycles of IVF or ICSI treatment.
This programme is subject to a medical review and if patients go through all of the available cycles of treatment and do not have a baby they receive a refund of up to 100% of their programme fee.
Our Multi-Cycle Programme is available to patients under 45 using their own eggs. It offers the same discounted treatment as our IVF Refund Programme but is for up to four cycles.
This programme does not require a medical review.
The Multi-Cycle programme does not include a refund if you complete your treatment and unfortunately do not have a baby. To benefit from a refund of up to 100% of the cost of your treatment if you don’t have a baby, you may be interested in our IVF Refund Programme.
Your age is calculated on the day you make payment for the programme, which is the final step in the application process. You will be able to proceed with all treatment you are entitled to on the programme purchased regardless of any change in your age following this.
Other additions are often included but these vary between clinics.
Please contact our Patient Advisors on +353 1485 4405 or support@accessfertility.co.uk for clinic specific brochures.
The main exclusions not covered in our programme are your initial consultation, any investigatory tests the clinic requires prior to treatment and your drugs.
If all embryos are frozen, following egg collection and fertilisation, and no fresh embryo transfer takes place this is known as a freeze-all.
Access Fertility’s treatment programmes cover an egg collection followed by a fresh embryo transfer with all remaining embryos being frozen for one year.
Access Fertility does not make any recommendations regarding treatment. The choice/need to have a freeze-all is something that the patient would discuss with the consultant at your chosen clinic.
If planning on using PGT-A (Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies) you will be required to have a freeze-all as all embryos will be frozen prior to the embryos being sent off for testing.
The cost of PGT-A is not covered in the programme fee and the cost of this would be paid directly to your clinic.
No, our programmes are only available for IVF, ICSI and donor egg treatment.
No, only embryos created on our programme would be covered by our programmes.
Shared motherhood is compatible with our programmes.
Please contact us for more information, and bear in mind that additional fees may apply.
Our Unlimited and IVF Refund Programmes take a maximum of two weeks to apply for due to the need to complete a medical review.
Our Multi-Cycle Programme does not require a medical review and it is possible for applications to be completed within the same day.
Access Fertility is not a clinic so we do not have a waiting list. You would need to speak to your chosen clinic directly to confirm their wait times (if any).
We do not have success rates for our programmes but you can find the individual success rates of our partner clinics on the HFEA website. They are the governing body for IVF in the UK and compile data on all the clinics.
You are able to have your initial consultation, tests and scans at satellite clinics but the bulk of your treatment (egg collection and transfers) will take place at the main clinic.
Once you have signed your Agreement Form and made payment. The clinic will then be notified and you can decide with them when to begin treatment.
All cycles must take place at the clinic listed in your agreement form once enrolled.
If you wish to change clinics you would have to withdraw from your programme and start the application process again at your new clinic.
You can withdraw at any time from the programme and may receive a partial refund.
Yes, but everything is done electronically via your online patient portal so nothing is posted out to your address to print and sign.
Our refund programmes operate on the basis that if, after using all the cycles in your plan, you unfortunately don’t have a baby, then you get a refund. We want to make that as simple as possible for patients. Once your clinic has notified us that unfortunately your treatment hasn’t been successful, then we’ll issue your refund within 30 days. At Access Fertility, ‘success’ counts as a live birth – if you have a miscarriage, a stillbirth or a medically recommended termination, you would be eligible for a refund.
Please note that you must complete all available cycles in your package and use all frozen embryos before a refund is considered.
You can withdraw from our programmes at any point but you would not be eligible for your full refund.
Our medical team look at every patient on a case by case basis and we have no set criteria (apart from age). We look at the following: test results (AMH, AFC, FSH, semen analysis), previous treatment history, previous uterine history and any other relevant medical information.
If a patient has had 3 or more unsuccessful fresh cycles previously it is unlikely they’d be accepted onto a Refund Programme.
If you are not accepted onto a Refund Programme you will still be able to use our Multi-Cycle Programme which does not have a refund element but is still a discounted option for two cycles with no medical review.
You will need to sign consent forms to give us permission to view your test results. We will then collect the medical data from the clinic, conduct assessments, and then call you to inform you of the outcome.
Both patient and partner need to sign an online form. You will both be sent a link to our online portal. You will each need to create individual login details and sign either the Patient Consent Form or Partner Consent Form.
If going through treatment solo, only the patient needs to sign their consent form.
The medical review is done within a maximum of two weeks after we have received both of your signed consent forms.
No, our medical team look at everyone on a patient-by-patient basis using your test results, previous treatment history and any further information available to them.
If you have had three or more unsuccessful cycles, the likelihood of being accepted on to one of the IVF Refund programmes is significantly lower.
We do not have any criteria for BMI and we would proceed in line with what is medically recommended by your clinic. If they are happy to treat you, please make an application.
Once our medical team have concluded your review, you will be contacted by one of our patient advisors. They will let you know which programmes the medical team have made you eligible for (if any) and you can choose which programme to proceed with there and then or call us back after taking some time to consider. We will then send you the Agreement Form for the specific Programme you choose to proceed with.
We work with around 70 clinics across the UK to offer our treatment programmes and each clinic requires payment at different stages. Please contact us on +353 1485 4405 or support@accessfertility.co.uk and one of our patient advisors can confirm when to make payment.
Our prices are subject to change. You will be informed before they change and you will need to make payment prior to the price change in order to proceed with your initial quote.
Once you’re ready to go ahead with your payment, you simply select your bank’s name from the on-screen list and securely verify your payment using fingerprint or face ID (if you’re using a desktop you will need to enter your bank details manually). This takes just moments and the money is transferred instantly.

Unfortunately this payment service is only applicable for our patients who are registered with a UK clinic. If you are registered with an Irish or International clinic, you would need to make payment via bank transfer for your programme.
Truelayer uses bank-grade security for their payments, it’s as secure as if you were to log on directly to your banks website and make a payment directly through them.
Yes they are regulated by the FCA.
You can enter in any value and make partial payments until your full balance has been cleared.
Please click here for your banks most up to date transaction limits.
We will send out an email once you have made a payment to confirm that we are processing your transfer and a final confirmation email once your funds have cleared into our account.
If you have made payment but did not receive a confirmation email, please give us a call and we can investigate the issue.
As soon as you have received your enrolment confirmation email, you can contact your clinic to begin treatment immediately.
If a payment is to decline or fail for any reason, we will send an email to notify you that your payment has failed and you can try again or contact your bank for further assistance.
You will just need to enter your details which you use to log into your bank with, such as the username for the account and the password / pin.
There are no additional fees associated with using Truelayer, it’s a free and instant online bank transfer.
We are not currently offering loans to fund Access Fertility programmes in Ireland.
Further information can be found here.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection or ICSI is generally used when there is a male fertility issue. A single healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg.
Further information can be found on the HFEA’s website.
We class a cycle to start from your egg collection, followed by the transfer of all embryos you get from it (both fresh and frozen). A new cycle would start once the patient starts a new egg collection.
Yes, all frozen embryos must be transferred prior to moving on to the next cycle.
On our programmes we only classify a live birth as success.
If you are successful on your first cycle or at any point during your treatment allowance this means your programme is complete. You would not get any refund and you cannot use any further treatment.
We classify this as a cancelled cycle and Access Fertility would pay a cancellation fee on the first occurrence to the clinic. This would not count towards your cycles of treatment. If you have a second cancelled cycle then you would need to pay this fee before continuing with any remaining treatment.
Firstly, please give us a call to let us know. Most patients wait to do so until after their clinical pregnancy scan.
You can then withdraw for a full or partial refund (depending on what treatment you have had) or remain on the programme and use your treatment at a later date.
Yes, you are able to use PGS/PGT-A alongside our programmes but the cost of this is not included in our fees. You would need to pay the clinic directly if you wish to use PGS/PGT-A.
The one condition we have is that no batching of embryos takes place. What this means is that any viable embryos from your first cycle would be tested and transferred prior to you moving on to your next egg collection.
Unfortunately PGD/PGT-M cannot be used alongside our programmes.
The HFEA, the governing body for IVF in the UK, generally recommends single embryo transfers to avoid the risks involved with twinning to both mother and child. After the age of 40, the clinic may recommend a double embryo transfer but this would not necessarily guarantee you having twins.
