We continue to monitor the situation with our medical experts on a daily basis and are committed to keeping you informed.
With the recent government announcements surrounding the rise of Omicron, we wanted to provide reassurance that Apricity and our partner clinics will continue to provide our services and treatments as planned, without disruption.
All of our HFEA-licensed partner clinics remain open and our advisors available to you seven days a week.
There are a number of protective and precautionary measures being adopted by our partner clinics. These include the need for a negative lateral flow test before attending physical appointments and restrictions on the number of people who can attend appointments. Our advisors will inform patients of any changes that apply to them, but we do not foresee any changes to our service.
In addition to precautionary measures, we recommend full vaccination before pregnancy.
For patients wishing to reduce unnecessary travel, Apricity can lower clinic visits down to 2 per cycle (versus 9 on average), instead arranging local scans, blood tests at home, medication delivery, and virtual consultations. If this is of interest, please get in touch via our contact form.
We are fully committed to being there for you, whether that means ensuring that your fertility treatment proceeds smoothly, or answering fertility questions from home.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch whenever you need us.⠀⠀

20-minute consultationYou may have seen Covid-19 and its detrimental effect on male fertility in the news lately. Articles have highlighted interesting findings from a Boston University School of Public Health study, which found that vaccines protected and preserved both female and male fertility from the effects of Covid-19.
For anyone who missed it, we thought we’d provide a summary of the study and its findings:
The bottom line message of this most recent study is that Covid-19 vaccines are safe and do not affect the fertility capacity of both men and women. On the contrary, the Covid-19 vaccines protect male fertility by limiting Covid-19 infections and its severity in men.
