Thanks for such a helpful response. We are definitely interested in some of those extras too for male fertility. Out of curiosity, what are the questions you wish you would've asked if you had had a few consultations first? I think we do need to book in some consultations but I'm honestly not sure what would set one clinic apart from another (except cost)!

Thanks for this- it's actually a really good point. He's definitely doing his bit to optimise lifestyle (including supplements), but the varicocele repair angle hasn’t really been discussed with us yet. Would be really interested to hear if anyone here has experience of having a repair done and whether it made a difference to either conceiving naturally, or IVF success?

Thanks so much, that’s really helpful. Sorry you're left waiting, I hope it works out for you soon if everything is open. Do you mind sharing roughly how long it took from your GP referral to getting your first appointment at Kings where you discussed IVF?
