Price point it is very affordable compare to other ivf providers. The only thing is that, they have certain criteria to meet such as age, bmi, and other. I believe that the ivf we have gone through was the most simplest and straight forward. I wish it had been a positive outcome but unfortunately it didn't take.

We were successful with our treatment but it was a stressful experience as the communication was so poor. It’s one of the cheaper IVF clinics but the price reflects the service. If you do use them be prepared to be constantly on their case to check and chase things. They messed up on medication deliveries, medical notes and made other mistakes. We also had a scare very early on that they weren’t supportive with and couldn’t give us any explanation or help but we’re happy to sell us more scans. Nhs were able to help and explain clearly though!

Overall Feedback
It's cost effective and better service than the NHS.
However, the treatment isn't tailored to individual patients and the communication with the clinic can be quite difficult (phone lines rarely answered).
Knowing the clinic was cheaper than most others allowed me to accept the flaws and be grateful for the cost savings.

AbcIVf comes up as one of the cheapest clinics on the market for IVF. Although, dubious at first if this would affect the quality of treatment we can hands down say it doesn’t. We were treated with high quality, personalised care during our entire IVF journey.

After we found out the baby had stopped growing - we were left to deal
With this ourselves and that is quite traumatic.

Overall Feedback
While the treatment and ethos here is more natural / less invasive as you're on less medications and paying less money, just bear in mind that the overall experience equates to what you pay for. After filling the online enquiry form, the initial consultation is with a Sales Rep rather than a fertility specialist which when you're heading into the unknown (if this is your first time), felt very salesy, impersonal and pushy. The clinics felt very clinical, a little bit dull and gloomy.
An incident that happened which added to my bad experience was when waiting for the results of my blood test result to confirm a pregnancy. Unfortunately we missed the first call which meant my husband got left a voicemail by the founder of abcIVF. While she didn't tell us the result in this voicemail, it was very obvious from her tone and manner that the result was not negative. This was bad form from the clinic as we would have liked to have had that conversation over the phone, first hand. Pretty much hearing that news in a voicemail was heartbreaking.
Overall, if you're looking for Mild IVF and you fit the criteria for this clinic, it could be for you. But don't expect 5/5 service.
