Vitrification Pregnancy! 

IVFWales are pleased to be the first clinic in the UK to announce a pregnancy with  embryos 'frozen' with a new technique called 'Vitrification'. With the technique we are enabled to freeze eggs and embryos by turning them into a 'glass-like' structure. By doing this, embryos are far more likely to survive freezing than by older 'conventional' methods used elsewhere in the UK and around the world. We are offering the technique in response to fantastic pregnancy results from vitrification in Japan and the USA.

Pregnancy in HIV couple!

IVFWales are pleased to be the first clinic in Wales to announce a pregnancy from a couple where the male partner is HIV+. In a designated area of the clinic and by using a special 'washing' technique we were able to remove the HIV virus from the sperm sample. We then tested it to confirm it was HIV- before using it for a fertility treatment.

Egg Freezing 

Many of you may have read the article in the Sunday Times on September 2nd, 2007 titled 'Egg freezing now available to all women'. The article discussed two of Britain’s leading fertility clinics launching new egg freezing programmes designed for women with cancer who's cancer treatment may cause infertility or women who wish to postpone motherhood to pursue a career or find the right partner. This is all possible by a breakthrough in freezing technology that almost eliminates the risk of damage to eggs and embryos. IVFWales is pleased to announce that we were the first clinic in the UK to offer the process called Vitrification and began 'Vitrifiying' in August 2007. Vitrification has been carried out extensively and successfully in Japan and the USA. Our Head of Embryology has carried out Vitrifcation in both America and Sweden. Please contact the clinic for further details.

Complementary Therapy / Acupunture

IVFWales are pleased to announce our partnership with the The Natural Health and Fertility Clinic in Whitchurch Cardiff, www.thenaturalhealthandfertilityclinic.com for those patients who feel they may benefit from the addition of complementary therapy such as acupuncture.

The clinic was founded by clinical director, Jacqueline Brown, whose achievements in fertility led her to set up a centre of excellence providing complementary healthcare for women of all ages.  After many years successfully treating a variety of women’s health issues and increasingly specialising in fertility and gynaecological problems, Jacqueline recognised the need to offer a more holistic natural approach.

Jacqueline has brought together an all female team. Her small number of therapists are highly qualified and hand picked for their high standard of work, caring attitude and commitment to providing an integrated approach to complementary healthcare.
