NHS waiting times
Data through March 2026. NHS source.
Fertility / IVF assessment is usually treated within the NHS Gynaecology Service pathway. The median wait across 198 NHS trusts is 12 weeks for the outpatient appointment, with 6 in 10 patients seen within the 18-week target. Routing note: NHS-funded IVF has strict eligibility (age, BMI, smoking, no living child, number of cycles) that varies by ICB. Speak to your GP about local rules.
