Welcome to Aberdeen Fertility Centre
The Aberdeen Fertility Centre has been at the forefront of fertility treatments for more than 20 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.
UPDATED 30th MARCH 2020 re CORONAVIRUS (COVID 19)
We know that many of you will be concerned about the effect that the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is having on your treatment. We have taken all necessary preventative measures and recommendations of Westminster and Scottish Governments, Professional Bodies and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Given the risk to pregnant women and unborn children is relatively unknown, we made the decision not to commence any new treatments after the 17th March 2020.
We have ceased all face to face clinic appointments and will be contacting patients that have recently undertaken treatment to offer video consultationsor phone call. Should you have eggs, sperm or embryos in storage, please be assured that our Laboratory Team will continue to monitor storage tanks in the usual way and will contact you if your storage period is due for review.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates and guidance as they become available to us. However, if you have any queries or anxieties, please contact us via email a.r.mctavish@abdn.ac.uk. We understand that the current situation may cause anxiety; our Counsellor is available every Tuesday and Friday (all day) and Wednesday afternoons. Telephone appointments can be requested via the above email address. Angela Pericleous Smith, Chair of the British Infertility Counselling Association has provided further infromation here.
As of Tuesday 31st March, the nursing and medical teams will be redeployed to support critical activities within NHS Grampian, therefore the Centre voicemail will advise you contact us via email. The team at Aberdeen Fertility Centre thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please stay indoors and stay safe.

Introduction
Testimonials
'Thank you to everyone at the Fertility Centre for all your help in bringing our true miracle into the world'
Jennifer & Mark
IVF Treatment
'Being based in Inverness and having to travel to Aberdeen for treatment/appointments I find it hugely helpful that the counselling sessions are local. Counselling has helped me understand my feelings and made the whole process/experience better for me without a doubt.'
Emma & Craig
IVF Treatment
'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.'

The Human Reproduction Open journal is for everyone who has an interest in infertility.
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.
