As we approach the end of our very first year at Alma Fertility, we wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us and trusted us along the way 🙏
This year has been incredibly busy, emotional, and rewarding - filled with life-changing moments for individuals and couples navigating their fertility journeys with us 🍂
✨ Over 200 fresh assisted conception cycles
🌱 Including over 100 IVF/ ICSI cycles, IUI cycles and natural cycle monitoring
🥚 50+ egg freezing cycles
🧬 50+ frozen embryo transfers
One of the highlights of this year has been launching our partnership with @fertilityliferaft , the first collaboration of its kind across IVF clinics, giving our patients free access to additional fertility support and community care.
We’ve also welcomed three wonderful new team members to Alma this year, helping us continue to provide personalised, compassionate care to every patient 🫶
At Alma Fertility, our mission has always been to combine expert fertility care with warmth, honesty, and genuinely patient-centred support.
To all our supporters, cheerleaders, and most importantly, our patients - thank you for your trust and faith in Alma
We cannot wait to continue growing with you in the years ahead 💚

Alma Fertility was created to offer something different 👇
Founded by two experienced female consultants, our approach is shaped by both clinical expertise and a genuine understanding of what fertility treatment can feel like — emotionally, physically, and personally. With medical experience across both private IVF clinics and NHS hospitals in London, our care brings together deep clinical knowledge with truly patient-centred support.
We know this journey can be overwhelming at times. That’s why we’ve designed care to feel calm, considered, and centred entirely around you.
At Alma, you’ll receive consultant-led care from start to finish, with continuity, clarity, and the time to ask questions at every stage.
From initial investigations through to treatments including IVF, ICSI, egg freezing, and genetic testing, every plan is thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs — never a standard pathway.
If you’re exploring your options, we’re here to support you.

From the very first appointment, feeling comfortable and supported can make all the difference 💫
Patients often tell us how important it is to have care that feels both expert-led and genuinely compassionate, where every step is explained clearly, and nothing feels rushed or uncertain.
Having the combination of clinical expertise and calm, consistent support can help make the process feel more manageable, even when it feels overwhelming at times 💛
At @almafertility , we believe it’s not just about the treatment itself — but how you’re cared for throughout.

A note about our Co-Founder, Dr Kate Maclaran 💚👇
@drkatemaclaran brings a wealth of experience across both NHS and private fertility care. Alongside her work at @almafertility , she is a Consultant Gynaecologist at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, with specialist training in reproductive medicine and surgery 🏥
Her approach is grounded in evidence-based care, alongside her own personal experience of IVF - bringing an added layer of understanding to the patients she supports through complex fertility journeys, including assisted conception, low ovarian reserve, and PCOS.
At Alma, that balance of clinical expertise and compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do 🫶

Preparing for fertility treatment? 🍃 It doesn’t mean doing everything perfectly — it’s about building supportive, realistic habits that feel right for you.
A good place to start is with the foundations: 🥦 A Mediterranean-style diet, rich in vegetables, wholegrains, healthy fats, and lean protein 🧘♀️ Gentle, regular movement such as walking, yoga, or light pilates, rather than high-intensity exercise 💊 Key supplements like folic acid and vitamin D, as commonly recommended when trying to conceive
🛌 Prioritising rest, routine, and finding ways to reduce stress where possible
It can also help to keep caffeine and alcohol within moderate levels, and to avoid making extreme lifestyle changes during treatment ☕️
Most importantly, your approach should feel manageable and personalised to you. Your care team can help guide what’s appropriate for your body and your treatment plan.

IVF (in vitro fertilisation) is a treatment where an egg is fertilised with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is placed into the womb to help achieve pregnancy 🔬
Key steps include: 🥚 Ovarian stimulation to encourage egg development 📈 Monitoring through scans and hormone checks 🏥 Egg collection in a short procedure (15-30 minutes) 💉 Fertilisation (standard IVF or ICSI) 🧫 Embryo development in the lab 👤 Embryo transfer into the uterus ⏱️ A waiting period before testing
Each stage is carefully managed and tailored to your individual response, ensuring the most appropriate approach for you.
