Are there any decent fertility clinics in or around Milton Keynes?

My husband (27) and I (27) have been trying to concieve for almost a year, and we've been referred to gynaecology/ fertility through the NHS. The wait list is a minimum of 24 weeks, which is too long for just an initial consultation.
We've had a semen analysis done, and I've had an ultrasound and bloods. We know what the issue may be, but now we need some help. I've done some googling and called up some places, but there seems to be only one clinic in Northampton, and a place in Beaconsfield. Everything else is in Cambridge or Oxford or elsewhere.
We're also not sure which provider to go with. Anyone have any experience or recommendations? I'd really appreciate any help.

If you are willing to go private - Dr Hanna at the Saxon clinic is a magician.

We had our first through CARE Manchester, they were very good and caring and supportive.

Another recommendation for Care Fertility, I’ve used a different Care location (about to have our second IVF baby) and I’ve got friends that have had success through Care Northampton.

I can recommend Care in Northampton. The staff were lovely, if we had waited for the NHS we'd still be waiting now, years after starting the process.
We had a baby girl on our second cycle.
Best of luck - it's a difficult process to go through, but we're really happy we did!

We are using Care in Northampton, the people that work there are great and it’s worked seamlessly so far (appointment-wise) we live in South MK and it really doesn’t take that long to get there, it’s usually about 40mins

I am also going through this process. We have recently started looking at private as I was also told the waiting list was 24 weeks but its been a year now!

Me and my partner are currently going through our 2nd round with Bourne Hall in Cambridgeshire, they've been fairly decent and we're hopeful this time we get what we want.
We're bedfordshire based, so a little different and not sure where mk refers you onto, but the nhs process is torturous, we'd probably still be waiting our first round if we had stayed on and not funded ourselves. There is far to much back and forth between clinic and consultant back in the hospital and as you've experienced the long waits inbetween.
Fingers crossed you won't need it, but if you do go private and if possible, get more then one cycle. The first cycle is quite generic where as this time all the medication is really tailored to tackle what night cause the issue.
You do also have to be your biggest advocate to get things looked into and almost be as knowledgeable about the problems and how others have had success stories with the same issues
Most of all though, good luck, it can be a really brutal process.

Care Fertility clinic in Northampton. They helped us, and luckily enough only needed one attempt. All in all they provided a good service and were easy enough to get to for appointments.

I never had to use them because we were lucky enough to fall pregnant naturally (after a long old wait, so I feel your pain) and this is the one I was researching. An Oxford based one with a satellite clinic in MK. tfp fertility
