Hi Ladies
I'm new to this site but thought I would check it out to see if anyone can share similar experience and give advice!
in 2017 me and my H embarked on IVF and ventured down the donar egg path (due to my age etc) with a clinic in Leeds who partnered with a clinic in North Cyprus. The Leeds clinic was great, however the first cycle in Cyprus wasn't so good as they used lower 'grade' eggs than the Leeds clinic would have recommended, and therefore not surprisingly was unsuccessful. The Cyprus clinic offered the next round at half price, so we ventured across again but again not successful and we decided due to finances and emotional stress that we would call it a day. I might add that the clinic was a bit of a production line so I was a bit uneasy about the right eggs/sperm going to the right location, and the doctor being on a conference call with Turkey whilst he was inserting the eggs into me!
Since then I have often wondered if we had tried a different clinic abroad if things would have turned out differently.
We're now in a position financially to look at this again, although I am nearly 5 years older at 53 years (he's 39) but I will have time (semi retiring) and it might be our last shot at having children. I've seen that there are clinics in Latvia that will work with women aged up to 55 years and wonder if anyone else has used them or had similar experience to me?
