After being told that we were unable to receive IVF on the NHS, we felt we had no choice but to embark upon what we thought would be a costly and frightening journey of private IVF. Thanks to Manchester Fertility, it was neither of these things. Our initial visit was friendly and hugely informative. We were impressed with the knowledge of the patient advisors and care of the nurses. From then on it was as though we had an (expert) older sister holding our hand the whole way through. When it came down to the treatment, I’m not too good with needles or blood but I have never felt in safer hands. There are some members of staff who I will forever remember because of the care and compassion they showed on “blood test day”. The whole place exudes a jovial and comradely atmosphere which seems to explain, “Don’t worry, we’re in this together.” We have been incredibly lucky to conceive and carry to term on our first round of IVF treatment. I always wonder whether, had we not been under the care of Manchester Fertility, the outcome would have been different. So thank you, Manchester Fertility, from the bottom of our hearts for our beautiful daughter Matilda who is so funny and wonderfully weird that we don’t know what we ever did before she came along.
