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.
