'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.

In line with Government advice the Fertility Centre will continue to provide medical care

If you have an appointment please attend if you can. If you do not wish to have treatment or attend the Centre at this time please contact us to let us know. You can contact the nursing team on 01224 553101 and select option 2.

Our Admin team will be unavailable from the end of day Monday 21^st December 2020 until 0900 on Wednesday 6^th January 2021. For any urgent enquires please contact our nursing team.

UPDATE - COVID-19 Vaccination

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) published updated advice on 30 December 2020 to advise that women who are trying to become pregnant do not need to avoid pregnancy after vaccination.

Getting vaccinated before pregnancy will help prevent COVID-19 infection and its serious consequences. In some cases, women will need to make a decision about whether to delay pregnancy until after the vaccine becomes available to them. There is no evidence to suggest these type of vaccines cause issues with fertility.

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.
