At CARE, we believe that it is essential for all fertility patients to feel completely comfortable and confident with their treatment. A key part of this is making sure you are fully informed about every aspect of your treatment. Wherever you are on your fertility journey, find answers to our patients’ most commonly asked questions below, or if you can’t find the answer to your question, you can ask one of our world-leading fertility experts. Of course, you can also always contact your local CARE clinic for advice from your dedicated local team.
We understand that you will have questions about your treatment, from general queries about trying to conceive to what to expect at your first consultation or specifics about the most complex fertility complications. Find answers from our highly experienced doctors, embryologists, nurses and support teams in our Frequently Asked Fertility Questions.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adapted how we work to help keep all our patients and staff safe. To learn all about our adapted methods and what to expect from fertility treatment during this confusing time, browse our COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions.
