Most patients attending the Newcastle Fertility Centre receive NHS-funded treatment. However, unfortunately, some are not eligible depending on a number of criteria. NHS funding is not determined by the Newcastle Fertility Centre but we will be able to tell you whether or not you are eligible.
We are pleased to be able to provide a self-funded treatment option for those patients who are not eligible for NHS funding.
We present our fees as a package so that it gives you a realistic estimate of the total cost. Please be aware that some clinics break down their fees so that it is difficult to understand and they may add additional charges that you were not expecting.
If you wish to be seen on this basis, and have been seen in the centre within the past year, please contact the private patient secretary. If you have not been to the centre within the past year please ask your GP or consultant for a referral letter.
Before Treatment
| Out-Patient Consultation At this appointment (with a consultant Gynaecologist) we will discuss your problem and consider the treatment options available. If you don’t want to progress to treatment but request specific tests, the cost of these will be explained individually. After treatment we would usually see you in the routine clinic for follow-up at no additional cost but if you want to ensure that you see a specific consultant, this can be arranged for an additional fee (£100). | £105 |
| Pre-treatment investigation work-up If you have decided to have treatment there are some standard appointments and assessments we need to undertake. This is provided at this fixed cost. On completion you will be able to book your treatments dates. Please note: If you book your treatment dates within 12 months this won’t be repeated. | £390 |

- If treatment is cancelled after you start the first injections but before you start the second injections the total charge for treatment will be £150.
- If the ovaries do not respond adequately to the injections and treatment is stopped before the egg collection you will be refunded £1020 (if IVF) or £2020 (if ICSI).
- If no eggs are collected during the retrieval procedure and ICSI was planned, you will be refunded £1020.
We are unable to refund the cost of drugs.

- If a natural cycle of planned insemination is started but does not result in an insemination, there is no cost.
- If a superovulation treatment is cancelled because of poor or over-response to drugs, the fee will be reduced to £410
Please note: Medication (drug) costs are implemented by our pharmacy team and are subject to change. For this reason, we cannot provide a cost for this.
