Has anyone had IVF - ICSI abroad?

[slippy786]

Hi everyone,

I am sorry i haven't been active on here for a while and  i really appreciate all the help and guidance i get from the guys on this forum.
I've got some clinics from this thread so i guess now i will have to look in to them, make contact and see which is best for us. It sounds like cost wise it will be the same as here if you include travel and accommodation but i guess it might be more relaxed if we treat it as a holiday.

Anyway hope everyone on here all the best in their attempts and i pray we all are blessed one day.

Regards

I had success at Serum in Athens, it worked at age 44 with my own eggs so I was very lucky. It’s not unusual for them to achieve success with people for whom it has failed elsewhere.

It is so good to see so many success stories. I have the hard task of shortlisting clinics and hope Brexit doesn't mess everything up. Anyway did anyone get a medical tourism insurance before they went? If so who did you use?

Thanks

I used Medical Travel Shield, they specialise in IVF and related procedures xx

odashwood, my pleasure!  How are you getting along with your surrogacy?

slippy how are you doing with your search? 

In my case I have been in contact with Dunya online since November 2018. We went to Cyprus in June 2019 and we instantly fell in love with the place. Their facilities made us feel like we were in a 5-star hotel. To be honest we really didn't expect much from Cyprus.  Communication is not a problem either. My egg retrieval was June 24 and my transfer was five days later.  Got my BFP July 10. Out of the 23 eggs collected, 5 made it so I had two transferred and the three are back there frozen.  I hope this helps.  Here is the article that made me choose them in case you want to read: https://www.dunyaivf.com/en/blog/top-ivf-clinics-europe-2018/

Hi all))
Haven't been here for a long time((
Maeve88, I'm still waiting for my surrogate(((( I'm exhausted and it seems to me that I can't wait any more....
The clinic where I'm having my treatment is providing a webinar regarding their new replacement therapy and I want to take part in the discussion just get some info. I have several friends who have been ttc for several years and with no result. May be this info will help them somehow.
What about you guys? How are you all?

[Maeve88Troy]

Odashwood sorry about your long wait.  I suppose things will pan out in the end.  Just hang on there and keep your options open.

Pregnancy doing fine, although I have constant backaches.  Told my OB about it but she says it is normal.  Oh well, so long as baby is doing well.

Maeve88Troy - I also had terrible backaches, but my doc did (recommended) nothing, as he said it's normal, and would not last long.
I came across this amazing IVF Abroad Guide, the most comprehensive info I have ever seen with lots of comparisons. Hope it will be useful for ladies who are considering IVF abroad. x

miamiamo I guess we are not alone in this journey of aches and pains.  Thanks for the guide

Maeve88Troy - a friend of my was pregnant 2 times, and she said she could be unlimited times, as she did not have any painful symptoms of pregnancy at all
