'The staff at the AFC have given us the best gift in the world our son.' - Sarah & John

Welcome to Aberdeen Fertility Centre

The Aberdeen Fertility Centre has been at the forefront of fertility treatments for more than 33 years. Once a diagnosis has been made by our caring team of expert clinicians and embryology staff, we can offer a range of treatments across our Centre to suit your individual needs.

First in Scotland!!

We have recently introduced electronic consent forms which patients can complete in the comfort of their own home. Patients about to undergo treatment will receive a text message with information on how to access the electronic consents site. The information on the site is provided by video and reading material which can be read at your leisure, as long as the consents are completed at least seven days before your appointment. We look forward to your feedback on this exciting new development.

Fertility Network Scotland and representatives from NHS clinics in Scotland came together to talk about the new Fertility Consents platform. Please click here to view the webinar.

Lifting of COVID restrictions

In line with restrictions being lifted, every patient in Scotland will be able to have one visitor to provide support while they are in hospital. Therefore, as of Monday 26th April 2021 partners will be able to attend appointments to provide support.

COVID-19 Vaccinations

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) have stated that there are no concerning safety signals that have been identified so far in relation to the vaccination of woman who are pregnant. For futher information please click here.

Community Hubs - Blood Tests

If you are a Grampian patient and require a blood test, an appointment can be made at one of our community hubs rather than you having to attend the hospital or your GP. In order to book your appointment please ring the Central Booking Team on: Tel: 01224 555177. Further information can be found here.

If you have a query regarding a clinic appointment please contact our reception team at gram.fertop@nhs.scot. If your query relates to IVF or donor treatment please contact our administration team at gram.aberdeenfertility@nhs.scot.

If you are considering self funded treatment we can offer you an initial Consultation to discuss your personal situation. Should you have previously had treatment in the Centre and wish to have a self funded cycle please contact the email above.

Introduction

Testimonials

"My husband and I underwent two successful rounds of ICSI at AFC. We are incredibly fortunate to now have two beautiful and healthy boys that we would not have had without the help of everybody in the team. We’d like to say thank you to all who work at AFC who showed kindness, empathy and professionalism and helped us to create our family."

Fiona & John

"Due to a long term medical condition, travelling to and attending the IVF appointments in Aberdeen from the Highlands was always going to be challenging for us. We're grateful to AFC for facilitating our needs, thus making our treatment possible and ultimately giving us the best gift in the world - our son"

Cerian & David

'We can’t thank the Aberdeen Fertility Clinic enough. They have been amazing right from when we were having tests to having treatment. All the nurses and Drs have been so helpful and reassuring through the process and now we are incredibly lucky to have two healthy boys.'

Sarah & Max

'I've been really grateful that we've had the opportunity to attend counselling sessions, I think it's helped us through a very difficult process where we don't have to spend more time explaining the detail about IVF/ICSI etc. to a less specialised counsellor. I also appreciated that they were free and that Lesley saw us separately if/when necessary.'

Jayne & Stuart

"All of the staff at Aberdeen Fertility Centre were very kind, empathetic and knowledgeable. The team made sure we understood everything involved at each stage of the process which gave us lots of reassurance. We will always be incredibly grateful to them for helping us to have our beautiful baby boy."

Donate

Fertility is something that most take for granted, for some however fertility issues can mean that having a child is difficult or impossible without help from a donor. Donors are people from all walks of life - there is no such thing as a standard donor. What they have in common is a desire to give the gift of life and help people to achieve the family they otherwise could not have.

IVF

A cycle of IVF can take 8-10 weeks from a menstrual bleed to the completion of the embryo transfer and it is essential that couples fully understand each step involved.

Sperm, egg or embryo freezing may be required as part of a fertility treatment cycle or for fertility preservation purposes.
