Fertility Preservation
PLANNING AHEAD
Fertility Preservation
Freeze eggs or sperm now, so you keep your options open for later.

A simpler, less intensive treatment, using partner or donor sperm.

TREATMENT
Donor & family-building
Donor, shared motherhood and surrogacy pathways, with no assumptions.

Thirty years treating
the families no one built a clinic for.

First in Lagos and now in London, the Ajayi family kept meeting the same families, doing one of the most personal things there is, in clinics never built with them in mind. Nobody had to explain the problem to us. We had spent three decades treating the people it was happening to.

We built Veya on a simple belief: outstanding healthcare is not only scientifically excellent, it is culturally intelligent. Medicine should be universal in its science and local in its humanity.

Fertility Assessments
IVF
Fertility Preservation
IUI
Donor & family-building
Illustration for IVF step 1: stimulation
Stimulation
Approx. 10 to 14 days
Daily injections encourage your ovaries to ripen several eggs instead of the single one you would release naturally. Scans every few days track how they are growing, and your nurse teaches you how to do the injections.
Illustration for egg and sperm freezing step 1: your consultation and tests
Your consultation and tests
Approx. 15 minutes, then 1 hour
We talk about why you are considering freezing and what the realistic chances are at your age. Honest numbers, not a sales pitch. If you are freezing sperm, the whole process is far simpler than the steps that follow.
Illustration for fertility testing step 1: your free consultation
Your free consultation
Approx. 15 minutes
A free call with a Fertility Specialist. You tell us what has been happening; we tell you which assessment would actually be useful. No referral needed, and no obligation to book anything.
Illustration for IUI step 1: getting your timing right
Getting your timing right
Approx. 10 to 14 days
We follow your natural cycle, or use gentle medication to help one good egg develop. Scans tell us when it is ready, and everything else is timed from that. With IUI, timing is most of what matters.
Illustration for donor and family-building step 1: your free consultation
Your free consultation
Approx. 15 minutes
We talk through the routes open to you: donor eggs or sperm, shared motherhood, or surrogacy. No assumptions about your situation, and no rushing the decision.
Illustration for IVF step 2: egg collection
Egg collection
Approx. half a day
A short procedure under light sedation, so you feel nothing. You rest with us afterwards and go home the same day, knowing how many eggs were collected before you leave.
Illustration for egg and sperm freezing step 2: stimulation
Stimulation
Approx. 10 to 14 days
For egg freezing, daily injections ripen a batch of eggs rather than the single one you would release naturally. Scans track progress and your dose is adjusted as you go, so you stay comfortable.
Illustration for fertility testing step 2: your tests, in one visit
Your tests, in one visit
Approx. 1 hour, one visit
Everything in your package happens in a single appointment: a blood test and a scan, a semen analysis, or both if you come as a couple. A female sonographer is available if you would prefer one.
Illustration for IUI step 2: preparing the sperm
Preparing the sperm
Approx. 2 hours, on the day
On the day, your partner's sample or your chosen donor sperm is prepared in our lab and the healthiest, strongest-swimming sperm are separated out ready for use.
Illustration for donor and family-building step 2: counselling first
Counselling first
Approx. 1 hour
Before any decisions, a conversation with a specialist counsellor about what donor conception means for you and for a future child. It is required by law, and most people find it genuinely useful.
Illustration for IVF step 3: your embryos in the lab
Your embryos in the lab
Approx. 5 to 6 days
Eggs and sperm are brought together, conventionally or by ICSI where sperm quality is a factor. Our embryologists check them daily and phone you with an update, so you are never waiting in silence.
Illustration for egg and sperm freezing step 3: egg collection
Egg collection
Approx. half a day
A short procedure under light sedation. You will know how many eggs were collected the same day, and most people are back to normal within twenty-four hours.
Illustration for fertility testing step 3: your results, explained
Your results, explained
Approx. 30 minutes
Your Fertility Doctor goes through every number on screen with you, in plain English: what is normal, what is not, and what it means for your chances. They do not finish until you have asked everything.
Illustration for IUI step 3: insemination
Insemination
Approx. 15 minutes
The prepared sperm is passed through a fine catheter directly into your womb, far closer to the egg than it would otherwise get. No sedation, and you can go straight back to your day.
Illustration for donor and family-building step 3: choosing your donor
Choosing your donor
Approx. 2 to 8 weeks
Matching with a donor from a licensed bank, or screening someone you already know. If a donor from your heritage is harder to find in the UK, we will tell you plainly and show you the options.
Illustration for IVF step 4: embryo transfer
Embryo transfer
Approx. 30 minutes
The strongest embryo is placed into your womb through a fine, soft catheter. It feels much like a smear test, takes minutes and needs no sedation. Other suitable embryos can be frozen for later.
Illustration for egg and sperm freezing step 4: freezing
Freezing
Same day
Your eggs are vitrified, flash-frozen in seconds so no ice crystals can form. Only mature eggs can be frozen, so the number stored is usually a little lower than the number collected.
Illustration for fertility testing step 4: your written plan
Your written plan
Same appointment
You leave with your results in writing and a clear recommendation. Sometimes that is treatment. Sometimes it is testing again in a year. And if nothing needs doing, we will tell you that too.
Illustration for IUI step 4: the two-week wait
The two-week wait
Approx. 2 weeks
Most people tell us the wait is the hardest part. Your nurse checks in, counselling is there whenever you want it, and a pregnancy test about two weeks later gives you the result.
Illustration for donor and family-building step 4: the legal side
The legal side
Varies with your route
We complete your HFEA consent forms with you and point you to independent legal advice. Getting this right early matters more than almost anything else you will do.
Illustration for IVF step 5: the two-week wait
The two-week wait
Approx. 2 weeks
Most people tell us this is the hardest part. You will not go through it alone: your nurse stays in touch, counselling is there whenever you want it, and a blood test about two weeks later gives you a definite answer.
Illustration for egg and sperm freezing step 5: stored until you are ready
Stored until you're ready
Up to 55 years
UK law allows storage for up to 55 years, as long as you renew your consent every 10 years. Whenever the time is right, your eggs are thawed and treatment continues with the same team beside you.
Illustration for donor and family-building step 5: treatment and the wait
Treatment and the wait
Follows your plan
Your IVF, IUI or shared motherhood cycle goes ahead with the same team throughout. A test about two weeks later gives you the result, and counselling stays available long afterwards.

Serious about the science.
Just as serious about you.

The science isn't up for debate. Neither is the fact that you're a person, not a case.

Starting your fertility
journey from abroad?

Many of the families we care for reach us from overseas, often on the recommendation of a doctor or a relative who already knows our work.For thirty years, first in Lagos and now in London, the Ajayi family kept meeting the same families doing one of the most personal things there is, in clinics never built with them in mind.

One patient, one record, one standard of care. We coordinate the whole journey: consultations by video, investigations near home where appropriate, treatment in London, and follow-up care wherever life takes you.

Questions families
ask us.

If your question is not here, ask us. No question is too small.
Will there be anyone at the clinic who looks like me?

Very probably, and that is not an accident.

Veya is Black-led and founded by the Ajayi family, who spent thirty years in fertility care in Nigeria before bringing it to London. Our clinical team includes doctors, nurses, embryologists and a counsellor from a range of backgrounds, and between them they speak Yoruba, Swahili and Indonesian as well as English.

We would rather show you than tell you: our team are all on our experts page, with their names and their photographs. Have a look before you book.

How soon can I be seen?

Quickly. We are a single-site, independent clinic, which means we are not routing you through a group booking system. Your free 15-minute consultation with a Fertility Specialist is usually available within a few days, and an assessment shortly after that.

If something in your history means we should see you sooner, tell us when you get in touch and we will move you up. Age and ovarian reserve are two things where weeks genuinely matter, and we would rather you told us than waited politely.

Will anyone know I'm having treatment?

No. Your treatment is confidential. We contact you only in the way you ask us to, we'll never disclose anything to anyone without your consent, and you can tell us if there are numbers or times we should avoid.

Are you licensed and regulated?

Yes. Veya Fertility is licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and registered with the Care Quality Commission. Our Information Commissioner's Office registration is ZB511158.

One thing worth knowing before you check: on the public registers we appear under our legal name, Bridge Clinic, at 1-5 Christopher Place, Chalton Street, London NW1 1JF. Veya Fertility is the trading name, so searching the registers for “Veya” will not find us — look for Bridge Clinic.

Please do look. The HFEA register publishes our licence, every inspection report and our patient ratings in full. We would rather you read them than take our word for it.

Can you help if I have fibroids or PCOS?

Yes. Our team has genuine, long-standing experience with conditions that are more common in the families we serve, including fibroids and PCOS. These are conditions that disproportionately affect Black and South Asian women and are too often investigated late. They're a particular focus of our practice, and we'll be honest about how they may affect your options.

What happens in a free consultation with a Fertility Specialist?

It's not a sales call, and it's not triage. It's a conversation with a Fertility Specialist so we can understand you: your story, your hopes, your family, and anything about your culture, faith or circumstances that will help us care for you better. You'll leave with honest answers and a clear picture of your options, and no obligation to go further.

Do I need a GP referral to come to Veya?

No referral is needed. You can book a free consultation with a Fertility Specialist directly, and take it from there.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. You can spread the cost of treatment with our payment plans, and we'll show you the full cost and the monthly options before you commit to anything.

How much does IVF cost in the UK?

At Veya, you will know your total before your first injection. We publish our prices, break down exactly what's included and what isn't, and offer payment plans, so there are no surprises.

Wherever you are in your journey, start with a conversation.
Your first step at Veya is a free consultation with a Fertility Specialist with decades of experience in helping patients start their families. It's not a sales call. It's time to understand you, your story and your options, with no pressure and no obligation.
