CRGH Fertility

CRGH Fertility: fertility clinic in London

The Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health (CRGH) is a London clinic dedicated to fertility and reproductive genetic health. With more than three decades of activity, it presents itself as a pioneering centre in in vitro fertilisation techniques and technologies and associated treatments, with the stated aim that anyone can start a family. The clinic combines clinical care, embryology laboratory and genetic counselling in a single setting.

Fertility treatments

The treatment catalogue ranges from conventional in vitro fertilisation to IVF with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGTA), including egg donation and IVF with donor eggs. The clinic also offers fertility preservation treatments, such as egg and sperm freezing, and genetic health services including genetic counselling, Carrier Match and genetic testing in early stages of pregnancy.

Before starting any treatment, CRGH carries out investigations and diagnostic tests ranging from routine analyses to advanced studies. These include the ovarian reserve test, dummy embryo transfer and semen analysis. The aim of these tests is to assess each patient's reproductive and genetic health and design a personalised treatment plan.

Egg and sperm donation

The clinic manages egg and sperm donation programmes, both for people who wish to donate and for patients who need donated gametes. In the case of egg recipients, CRGH states that it works with reduced waiting times and selected donors, and mentions a new partnership that allows faster matching of donated eggs. The information available also includes specific access for egg donors and for recipients.

Clinical approach and patient care

CRGH describes its care model as personalised care, based on the idea that every patient is different. The clinic states that it uses its experience, technology and techniques to tailor treatment to each case, with attention to detail to maximise the chances of success. The team is made up of fertility specialists, embryologists, nurses, counsellors and reception staff, and the clinic has a specific counselling unit.

Results and experience

The clinic publishes treatment results data. According to the information on the site, the live birth rate for PGS treatment in 2021, all ages and per embryo transferred, was 53.0%. It also offers live birth rates for treatments with donated eggs in 2021, broken down by age group and per embryo transferred. CRGH attributes these results to its accumulated experience of more than 30 years and its commitment to innovative techniques.

Facilities and information events

The clinic operates in two locations in London: Great Portland Street and CRGH City. It organises virtual and in-person open evenings fortnightly, where those interested can meet the team and receive information about the clinic. The next virtual session announced at the time of the analysis was scheduled for 30 September, from 18:30 to 19:30, and the next in-person session for 7 October, from 18:00 to 19:00. The site also mentions events on 14 October.

Patient profiles

CRGH cares for a variety of profiles: single patients, women, men, transgender people, heterosexual couples and same-sex couples. The clinic structures part of its communication according to these groups to guide the first steps towards the appropriate treatment.
