Semovo Wigan

Semovo Wigan's overall HFEA tier is above average, with a 32% birth rate against a 29% national average. Age-band performance is more mixed: even its best-performing band, under-35, sits at 17% against a national 38%, and the 38-39 group is recorded at 0% against a national 26%. With 1,905 cycles logged, the clinic isn't tiny, but it's still classed as low volume, so smaller age-band splits can vary more than the headline number suggests — worth asking the clinic to unpack this with you directly.

It's a live-birth rate per embryo transferred, drawn from HFEA-verified regulated data for 2016 to 2018. That describes outcomes across many patients treated in that period, not a personal forecast. When you're comparing this figure against another clinic, check whether both are calculated per embryo transferred or per cycle started, since the two aren't directly comparable, and confirm which years each figure spans, as more recent data may tell a different story.

Worth raising these directly with the team: - What's included in the quoted price, and what add-on costs are typical? - What were your live-birth rates for my age group in the latest HFEA data, given how much the bands vary here? - How many cycles like mine do you carry out each year? These aren't awkward questions — a good consultant will welcome them and talk you through the numbers honestly.
