Questions people ask about Andrology Unit, Hammersmith Hospital

Written in PATH's voice from this clinic's published HFEA data — reviewed before publishing, never generated live.

Would Andrology Unit, Hammersmith Hospital suit someone who is 40 or over?

Worth checking the age-specific figures rather than the headline alone. The reported best band for Andrology Unit, Hammersmith Hospital is 40-42, though it shows a 0% rate there against a national average of 18%, and the under-35 band comes in at 17% versus a national 38%. Despite this, the clinic's overall live-birth rate is 44%, ahead of the 35% national average. Andrology Unit, Hammersmith Hospital is low volume, so the gap between overall and age-specific numbers is worth raising directly with the clinic before deciding.

What does the success rate for Andrology Unit, Hammersmith Hospital actually mean?

It's a live-birth rate per embryo transferred, taken from HFEA-verified regulated data covering 2016 to 2018 — independently checked rather than clinic-reported. A couple of checks help before comparing Andrology Unit, Hammersmith Hospital with other clinics: whether a figure is per embryo transferred or per cycle started, and which years it covers. Given how much the overall and age-band figures differ here, it's especially worth asking the clinic to explain the difference.

What should I ask Andrology Unit, Hammersmith Hospital before booking?

A short list of honest questions is the best starting point. Worth raising with Andrology Unit, Hammersmith Hospital: - what's included in the quoted price, and what add-on costs are typical - what their live-birth rates were for your age group in the latest HFEA data - how many cycles like yours they carry out each year. These questions are entirely reasonable to bring to a first meeting, and a good consultant will welcome answering them clearly.
