A fertility loan of £5,000 over 12 months would mean you make monthly repayments of £416.67 at a representative APR of 0%.
The total amount of credit would be £5,000, to which we would add £0.00 (0% p.a.). Therefore, the total cost of your fertility treatment after 12 months would be £5,000.
If you took out fertility financing today, you would pay the first £416.67 on the day of your first appointment, then 11 payments of £416.67 each month.

The number of fertility treatment cycles needed varies for each person, with some becoming pregnant after one IVF cycle while others require several. Doctors often recommend planning for more than one attempt, as success rates can improve over time. Factors such as age, overall health and the cause of fertility issues all play a role, and clinics will provide personalised guidance, outlining expected success rates and helping patients understand how many cycles may be needed in advance.
There are several alternatives to IVF, depending on the underlying cause of fertility challenges. Treatment options may include:
Your doctor will recommend the most suitable approach based on your diagnosis, helping you choose the right path for your individual fertility needs.
Improving fertility before treatment often involves simple lifestyle changes that support overall health. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly can help the body function at its best, while avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol use supports reproductive health. Good sleep and managing stress may also improve your chances of conception. Taking folic acid is commonly recommended, and a doctor can provide personalised advice based on your individual circumstances and medical history.
The cost of private IVF in the UK can vary by clinic and treatment plan. On average, a single cycle may range from £4,000 to £8,000, but can exceed £10,000 once things like medication, consultations, and screenings are added. If more than one cycle is needed, the overall cost can rise quickly, so it is important to understand the full cost of a single cycle before starting treatment at a clinic.
Egg retrieval is usually not considered to be painful because it is carried out under sedation or light anaesthesia, so most people feel nothing during the procedure itself. Afterwards, some people may experience mild cramping, bloating, or discomfort for a short time, but these symptoms are generally manageable with rest and simple pain relief. Clinics will provide guidance on what to expect after egg retrieval and how to stay comfortable during recovery at home afterwards.
Before starting IVF, medical professionals will carry out several tests to check patients’ fertility health:
These tests help doctors plan treatment safely and choose the most suitable approach for each individual case.
Finance is not usually limited to a set number of treatment rounds, as it is designed to be flexible. The only limits with Medicred are based on what is affordable within an agreed monthly repayment plan. This ensures the cost of IVF or fertility treatment is spread in a way that remains manageable over time. Approval is guided by affordability assessments, rather than restricting access to a specific number of cycles or procedures included in treatment packages.
Fertility treatment does not usually require you to stick with a single option throughout the process. Doctors may suggest starting with less complex treatments and consider other methods if pregnancy is not achieved. Each stage is guided by medical results and how your body responds to care. This means treatment can change over time, allowing different approaches to be used in a way that best supports your overall chances of success.
