A first conversation
45 minutes, by video or in person
You talk with a fertility nurse about where you are and what you would like to know. Nothing is decided and nothing is booked unless you ask.
A fertility clinic for individuals and couples
You can start with one quiet question
Moonfern Fertility is here for people at every point of this, including those who are tired of it. We will go at a pace that suits you.
You do not have to decide anything today, and you do not need a referral to talk to us.
Wherever you are starting from
People come to us in many ways
- On your ownThinking about parenthood or freezing eggs or sperm by yourself.
- With a partnerAny couple, any genders. Whoever you are together.
- After treatment elsewhereBring what you have and we will read it with you.
- After a lossYou can tell us as much or as little as you like.
- Not sure yetYou may only want information. That is enough of a reason.
Your care
One step at a time, and you can stop at any of them
Tests for you, or both of you
Usually one or two short visits
Blood tests, a scan or a semen analysis, depending on your situation. We explain what each one is for before you agree to it.
A plan together
A long appointment with your doctor
We go through your results in plain words and set out the options, including doing nothing for now. You can take it home and think.
A treatment cycle
A few weeks, with visits along the way
If you choose treatment, one nurse stays your main contact. You get a written calendar, and you can ask to change pace.
What comes next
Whatever that turns out to be
Another cycle, a change of plan, a pause, or stopping. Stopping is a real option, and taking a break is too. We will talk it through and support you either way.
Plainly
We do not promise outcomes
Fertility care does not work the same way for everyone, and your options depend on you. We will tell you what we know, what we do not know, and when it may be time to talk about something different.
Treatments
What we offer, in plain words
Not everything here suits everyone. Your doctor will talk through what may apply to you.
Fertility assessmentFor one person or two
A review of your history with tests chosen for you, so that you and your doctor can talk through what is known.
Monitored cyclesFollowing your own cycle
Scans and blood tests track your cycle, so you can see when ovulation is likely.
IUIIntrauterine insemination
Prepared sperm is placed in the uterus through a thin tube, around the time of ovulation.
IVFIn vitro fertilization
Eggs are collected and combined with sperm in the lab. An embryo may then be placed in the uterus.
Egg and sperm freezingFor keeping options open
Eggs or sperm are collected, frozen and stored for possible use later.

Support
This can be a lot to carry
Emotional support is part of care here, not an extra you have to ask for. It is there for you and for anyone going through this with you.
Talk to our counselorA counselor who is not part of your treatment
Two sessions come with every treatment plan. You can come alone or together, before, during or after.
Time to think
No one will ask you to decide in the room. Every plan goes home with you in writing.
A quieter waiting room
No baby photos on the walls, and a separate side room if you would prefer to wait there.
Words we try to avoid
Tell us what to call you, your partner and your experience, and we will use those words.
