IVF Clinics in Cardiff

Cardiff is the main centre for fertility treatment in Wales. The Wales Fertility Institute (WFI), based at the University Hospital of Wales, provides both NHS and private treatment and is the primary fertility unit for South Wales.

What to expect on cost

Cardiff and Wales generally offer IVF at the lower end of the UK price range. Expect £3,000–£4,200 for a cycle fee, with total costs of £6,000–£9,500. Some of the most affordable IVF pricing in the UK, with quality that matches larger English centres.

NHS IVF in Wales

Wales has a separate NHS system from England. Welsh health boards typically fund 2 IVF cycles for eligible patients — more generous than most English ICBs, which commonly fund only 1. Eligibility criteria are broadly similar: age under 40, BMI requirements, no existing children.

This makes Wales one of the better places in the UK for NHS-funded fertility treatment. If you're near the England-Wales border, it's worth understanding which system you fall under.

The local picture

Cardiff's fertility services are largely concentrated at the Wales Fertility Institute. For patients in Swansea, Newport, or the wider South Wales area, WFI is the primary option. The nearest English alternatives are Bristol (about 45 minutes) or Exeter (further afield).
