Bourn Hall was one of the first fertility clinics to be approved by the Government to reopen to patients after the first lockdown last year. Time is critical in fertility treatment and we wasted no time in ensuring that as many patients as possible were able to continue seamlessly with their fertility treatment once our doors had re-opened.
Jenna and Shaun were two of those people who, when Bourn Hall reopened, were able to continue their treatment. Jenna and Shaun also captured on video their journey through the whole process – ending in twin celebrations. Read more about their story here: moredetails.uk/3mQj2ZT

Before you start your treatment, it’s important you make sure you’ve had the above tests. The HFEA requires patients to have these tests to avoid spreading infection in storage containers or during laboratory procedures and to reduce the risk of passing these infections on to any resulting children or to other people.
If you test positive for any of them, you should be offered appropriate treatment and counselling.
