'Newbie!!!' Help me Please. Which Clinic To Choose and Statistics Please?

Hi i was diagnosed with Endometriosis 8 years ago. I have had 2 laps to which i was promised both times endo would be removed if they could. The first time they said there were worried about leaving me with scar tissue as i was young and the second time they were shocked to see it had progressed and spread to lots more organs and now stage 4 and covering both ovaries, the surgery was too risky so again it was left. So after trying for a baby for 3 years i have now been accepted for NHS IVF. We have been allocated to Exeter Fertility centre as it is closest to me, i live in west somerset. I have been checking out the reviews and am a bit worried ! One of the reviews posted in 2016 have shown the results below. With my Endometriosis problems as well Exeter is not looking to be a very healthy option. My consultant who has been with me from the start works for Exeter so i am a bit worried i have not been told this information due to 'favouritism'? does anyone have any up to statistics, as it may of improved since 2016. I have been on the HFEA website but i cant find them. I am starting to panic as i do not want to waste my first and only chance of IVF if i could travel a bit further. Please see below. Thanks in advance Charlotte.

Hello & welcome! When it comes to choosing clinics it’s a bit of a mine field. This website might help you theduff.co.uk/best-ivf-fert...

For example the website says: Don’t rely solely on success rates. Small differences in rates are usually down to the different types of patients treated. (For example, one clinic may agree to treat over 40s – and its success rate is likely to be lower than a clinic that only treats people aged 40 and younger.) Having said that…

Make sure the IVF success rate is at least in line with the national average.

Decide what other factors are important to you. Do you want the clinic to be open on a Saturday? Would you prefer to see a female doctor? Is parking essential? You can find out all this and more on the HFEA’s search for a clinic service.

Good luck Xx
