IVF Add Ons With Dr James Nicopoullos from The Lister

We are discussing IVF Adds Ons this week with James Nicopoullos, clinical director at The Lister Fertility Clinic.

We discusses the complexities and controversies surrounding IVF add-ons and how difficult it can to make decisions about whether to use or not alongside IVF treatments.

We discuss:

• why IVF add-ons are optional extras that may not be necessary.

• How the HFEA's traffic light system categorizes treatments based on evidence.

• How not all add-ons are supported by strong evidence.

• Why individual circumstances dictate the need for specific add-ons.

• Why Sperm DNA testing is crucial for unexplained infertility cases.

• Why patients should be informed about the pros and cons of add-ons.
• Why communication between patients and clinics is essential.

For more information on Add Ons please see the HFEA website.
