Antega updates — Nigeria

• A fuller Medication & Supplement Tracker, with dose reminders

  Choose the type of medicine first — stimulation, antagonist, trigger, progesterone, antibiotic, steroid, blood thinner, supplement and more — then pick the exact medicine from the list for your own country, or type your own. Record the dose your clinic prescribed, how often you take it, the times of day and how many days the course runs for, then tick each dose off as you take it. Switch reminders on and Antega will send a notification to your device at every dose time. Your clinic always decides what you take; Antega only repeats back what you have recorded.

• Compare the fertility medicines used in your country

  The comparison area now has a Medications section. Look up a medicine by brand or by its active ingredient and see, for your own country, which strengths and devices exist, how that exact product says it should be stored, whether it is registered and currently marketed, whether fertility use sits inside its licence, and the official source with the date Antega checked it. Every country has its own register, so a brand is never shown somewhere it has not been verified. There are no doses, no timings and no medicine prices — your clinic prescribes, and each card links to the matching guide, injection video and planning tools.

• Clearer clinic prices and optional clinic matching

  The clinic comparison now shows one like-for-like figure — a standard own-egg IVF or ICSI cycle intended to end in one fresh embryo transfer — alongside the clinic's advertised price, unavoidable extra charges and an estimated medication range where the clinic publishes one. Thirty-five more clinics have been added at home and abroad, multi-cycle and refund programmes are listed, and you can now switch on Antega Match to see which clinics fit what you are looking for, with every reason explained.

• New frozen embryo transfer and double stimulation resources

  Every published Antega country now has a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Cycle Checklist, a guide explaining the difference between natural, modified natural and medicated FET, a guide to the Shanghai Protocol (DuoStim) double ovarian stimulation approach, and a DuoStim journey checklist. Each version is written for its own country, with local spelling, terminology and urgent-care wording, and links to the medication and appointment planners so you can add the instructions your clinic has given you.

• Family Fertility Support wording has been simplified

  Across every published Antega country, Family Fertility Support now states clearly that it may include every Growth package option without repeating each option. It may also include eligible travel and accommodation support, including international travel and accommodation when required. Hope, Growth and Family support may be provided in stages up to the applicable maximum allowance, subject to eligibility, verification, approved costs and the Fertility Support Programme Terms.

• Family Fertility Support now includes every Growth package option

  Historical update — superseded

  Across every published Antega country, Family Fertility Support may now cover all five Growth package options together: Getting Started, Medication, Egg Collection, Embryo and Laboratory. Family continues to provide broader eligible treatment support as well. Support is not guaranteed and remains subject to verification, the member's treatment plan, approved costs, local availability and the Fertility Support Programme Terms. Membership prices, shop benefits, Seeds and payment arrangements are unchanged.

  Family support now references every Growth package option without relisting them and also includes eligible travel and accommodation support where required.

• Growth Fertility Support package details are now consistent

  Every Antega country now describes the same five Growth Fertility Support options wherever Growth support is explained: Getting Started, Medication, Egg Collection, Embryo and Laboratory. A confirmed Growth Fertility Support Recipient receives one package, subject to verification, their treatment plan, approved costs and the Fertility Support Programme Terms. Membership prices, Seeds, shop benefits and payment arrangements are unchanged.

• Growth membership now includes free standard delivery

  Growth and Family members now receive free standard delivery on eligible Antega Shop orders in every published country where Antega can fulfil delivery. Hope members continue to receive their 5% member discount and pay the standard delivery charge. Discover members continue to shop at public prices with no member discount or delivery benefit. Membership prices, Family rewards, Seeds and Fertility Support are unchanged.

• Antega Fertility Support is part of membership in every published country

  The Fertility Support Programme is no longer described as a United Kingdom feature. It now forms part of qualifying Hope, Growth and Family memberships in every published Antega country, each with its own currency and its own approved maximum support values. The country saved on your Antega account decides which values and rules apply to you, and support always remains subject to eligibility, verification and the Fertility Support Programme Terms.

• Every Antega country now has its own joining page

  The United Kingdom joining page is now the shared design for every Antega country. The United States, Canada, Australia, India, Nigeria and South Africa each have their own joining page showing Discover first, then Hope, Growth and Family, always in that country's own currency and prices. Monthly and annual billing applies only to the paid memberships, and choosing Discover still means no card details and no automatic upgrade. Joining links across the site now take you to the page for the country you are browsing.

• Eligible Family members can now request their ancestry kit

  Once your country’s qualifying continuous paid Family period is complete, you can request your one-time DNA Ancestry Kit from your account. Confirm the delivery address, submit the request once, and follow its clear preparing, dispatched and delivered status from the same Family benefits panel. The kit explores ancestry and heritage only; it is not a fertility, medical, carrier or diagnostic test.

• Welcome Shop Credit can now be spent at checkout

  Family members can now apply their available Welcome Shop Credit to eligible Antega Shop products at checkout. Your local credit, member discount and delivery benefit are calculated separately, the amount used appears clearly in your order summary, and any remaining balance stays in your account. Shop prices and payment use your country's currency across the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, India, Nigeria and South Africa. The fixed conversion rates are reviewed every three months; the rate used is recorded with each order. As requested, no tax or VAT is added. Discover, Hope and Growth do not receive Welcome Shop Credit, and Seeds and Fertility Support are unchanged.

• The same shop benefits and Family rewards in every country

  Antega Shop benefits work the same way wherever you are. Hope members save 5%, Growth members save 10% and Family members save 15%, always calculated from your own country's local price and applied automatically when you are signed in — no codes. Growth and Family memberships include free standard delivery on eligible Antega Shop orders where we can deliver to you; Hope pays the standard delivery charge. The free Discover membership includes no shop discount, no free delivery, no Welcome Shop Credit and no DNA Ancestry Kit; Discover members shop at standard public prices. Every country's Family membership gives two separate tangible benefits rather than a choice between them: a one-off Welcome Shop Credit once your first Family payment is confirmed — £15 in the United Kingdom, $22.50 in the United States, C$30 in Canada, A$30 in Australia, ₹1,000 in India, ₦15,000 in Nigeria and R200 in South Africa — and a DNA Ancestry Kit after 6 continuous paid Family months in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Australia, or 12 continuous paid Family months in India, Nigeria and South Africa. Only successfully paid Family months count; failed, unpaid or refunded periods do not, and a break in Family membership starts the qualifying period again. The credit is one per member ever, has no cash alternative, is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for Seeds. The ancestry kit explores ancestry and heritage only — it is not a fertility, medical, carrier or diagnostic test. Your credit and your month-by-month progress appear in your account. Membership prices are unchanged, and Seeds and Fertility Support are unaffected.

• Two tangible Family benefits for Nigeria members

  Family membership in Nigeria no longer asks you to choose one welcome gift. You now receive two separate benefits. When you first join Family you receive a one-off ₦15,000 Antega Shop credit for eligible products: one per member ever, no cash alternative, non-transferable, never converted into Seeds, not recurring and not reissued if Family membership ends and later restarts. After twelve continuous months of successfully paid Family membership you can request one DNA ancestry kit. Failed, unpaid or refunded periods do not count, and a downgrade or break in Family membership starts the twelve months again, so eligibility follows qualifying paid months rather than calendar time. The ancestry kit explores ancestry and heritage only — it is not a fertility test, genetic health or carrier test, medical screening or diagnostic test, and results are informational rather than medical advice. Both benefits and your progress appear in your account. Nigeria membership pricing is unchanged, and Seeds and Fertility Support are unaffected.

• Discover: a free Antega membership for everyone

  Antega now has a free membership level called Discover, sitting before Hope, Growth and Family. It is not a trial: there is no payment method, nothing expires, and it never turns into a paid membership on its own. Discover members get a selected part of their own country's Learning Centre — beginner guides, trying-to-conceive and pregnancy recipes, introductory videos — plus starter planning tools such as the cycle calendar, appointment notes, questions for your doctor and test results, and the ability to save whatever helps. Everything follows your registered country, so you see the guidance, wording and prices that actually apply to you; reading another country's pages is now clearly marked as information only and never shows prices or joining options. Support Seeds, Fertility Support eligibility, live webinars, member discounts and the full library remain part of Hope, Growth and Family. If you upgrade later, or a paid membership ends, your saved items, notes, tracker entries, journals and country all stay with you.

• New Nigeria IVF medication, injection and NAFDAC resources

  The Nigeria Learning Centre now covers fertility medicines in depth, written around medicines actually available in Nigeria and the conditions people manage them in. New guides explain the medicines used in an IVF cycle, FSH injections, hMG, GnRH antagonists, trigger medicines, progesterone after transfer and estrogen for frozen transfers, alongside practical guides to giving injections, subcutaneous and intramuscular technique, pens and pre-filled syringes, mixing powder and diluent, storage and refrigeration, electricity outages and generator or inverter backup, travelling by road and by air, hot-weather transport, side effects, injection-site reactions, late or missed doses and sharps disposal. Access guides cover checking a medicine against the NAFDAC Greenbook, avoiding counterfeit medicines, courier delivery and checking a delivery on arrival. Seven new checklists and eleven medication planning tools — including a delivery tracker, a storage and power planner and a cost planner — are now available in Nigeria.
