The difference

Right now you're doing IVF research the hardest possible way.

Not because you're doing it wrong. Nobody hands you the whole picture. So you assemble it from a hundred searches, and get uncertainty, stress and misinformation instead of a plan.

Googling it, question by question

Uncertainty, on repeat

  • Typing a new question into Google at 1am, every night
  • Forum threads from strangers in a different country, on a different protocol
  • Clinic PDFs that explain the drug but never the day
  • Add-ons pitched at £300–£1,500 with no idea which have evidence
  • Advice from family that lands like a slap: “just relax”
  • Turning up to the appointment and forgetting the question that mattered

The Simple IVF Guide

Clarity, in one evening

  • One document, read in an evening, ordered the way a cycle actually happens
  • Written by parents who did two cycles in the UK and abroad, not a clinic brochure
  • Every stage explained in plain English, including the days nobody prepares you for
  • An add-on table: what it costs, what the evidence says, what to ask
  • Gentle scripts for the conversations with family, friends and your partner
  • Eleven worksheets you fill in and take into the room with you

Inside the guide

The pages you won't find on a blog.

The trigger shot, the OHSS warning signs, what to tell work, and the worksheets you fill in before the consultation rather than during it.

Section 03

The add-on question

The one question to ask when a clinic offers you an extra, plus what each add-on tends to cost.

Written from lived experience

“The hardest part wasn't the IVF. It was the uncertainty around it.”

Two cycles, and hundreds of hours spent piecing together what should have been handed to us on day one. This is that missing document: the whole cycle in order, honest about the money, the injections and the waiting, written for the people going through it rather than for the clinic.

Start with a free answer

Written in the same voice as the guide, one question at a time.

How do you choose an IVF clinic in the UK?

Compare clinics on HFEA-published live birth rates for your age band rather than their own marketing, then weigh their inspection rating, how they handle add-ons, whether you see the same consultant throughout, how far you can realistically travel for early-morning scans, and a written all-in quote. Travel time and communication matter more than most people expect.

How do you tell your employer you're having IVF?

There is no legal obligation to tell a UK employer you are having IVF, and no statutory right to fertility treatment leave. In practice, telling one trusted person — usually your line manager or HR — makes short-notice appointments far easier, and once you are pregnant after a transfer you gain full pregnancy-related protection under the Equality Act.

When can you test after embryo transfer?

Your clinic will book a beta hCG blood test around nine to twelve days after a day-5 blastocyst transfer, or twelve to fourteen days after a day-3 transfer. Home tests can pick up a pregnancy from about six days after a blastocyst transfer, but early results are unreliable and the trigger injection can still be in your system for up to two weeks.

What are IVF success rates by age?

Using a woman's own eggs, the chance of a live birth per embryo transfer in the UK is roughly 30–35% under 35, around 25% at 35–37, around 18% at 38–39, around 10% at 40–42, and under 5% over 42. Donor egg cycles sit around 30–35% regardless of the recipient's age, because the odds follow the age of the eggs rather than the person carrying them.

Before you buy

Common questions

What exactly do I get when I buy?
A single PDF of 73 pages: twelve sections plus eleven printable worksheets, delivered instantly after checkout and emailed to you as a backup. It reads well on a phone, and prints cleanly if you prefer paper.
Is this medical advice?
No. It explains how IVF works and what to expect so you can have better conversations with your clinic. Every treatment decision belongs to you and your clinical team.
Is it UK-specific?
The clinical process is the same worldwide, so the cycle chapters apply anywhere. The funding, regulation and cost sections are written for the UK and reference the HFEA and NHS criteria.
I'm doing ICSI / a frozen transfer / donor eggs. Is it still relevant?
Yes. The guide covers standard IVF and ICSI, fresh and frozen transfers, and explains where donor and surrogacy routes differ.
Can my partner read it too?
Please do. One purchase is for you and the people going through it with you.
