Hi all,

Well didn't think I'd be saying this but we are due to fly out to Georgia tonight! Meeting our surrogate mother on Thursday so it's all starting to feel very real and exciting! We've also heard such wonderful things about Tbilisi so looking forward to getting to know the city.

Laura May - are you due to be in Tbilisi anytime soon?

Hi there TTC and Laura May,


I just wanted to say hi, as I too am looking into New Life now, as surrogacy y is my only option. Prob start in July.

All the best to you all!

Hi Wantafamily,

Yes we're in Georgia at the moment. I'm taking a really long time to stimulate - day 12 and my oestrogen is quite low and my follicles are only about 11-13mm so a few days still to go. Trying not to worry too much but it's hard in a foreign country with a new doctor. Interested to hear how others have found Dr Nana - I'm sure she's great but her English is really a lot weaker than we had anticipated so that's making it slightly difficult. Having said that, Eka at New Life is being amazing in coordinating and translating things which is great.

As like any capital city, there is a real mix of old and new. It's fast paced and lots going on. The Georgians are absolutely delightful, all so friendly and make us feel very welcome which is lovely.

Any questions - just ask!

Hi TTC
hows your day been-  hopefully your follies are growing well, and you are ready to have a good batch of eggs. have you had your treatment all in Gerogia, or have you started in Uk, ad travelled over? Have you chosen a surrogate or does the clinic chose for you?
Can I ask how to traveled to Georgia, did you go via istanbul or direct?
I met with Mariam in the Uk as she was over, and she as a great help, and helpfully, we can start the process off soon.
TA!

Hi Wantafamily,

Sorry for slow reply, been a busy few days! So now back at home after 10 days out in Tbilisi. Our surrogate mother had 3 embryos transferred to her on Sunday so now in the dreaded 2ww, though very strange not to be directly experiencing it this time!

I started my treatment in the UK and then finished it in Georgia. I take ages to stim (15-16 days) so didn't seem much point being out there for all that time when I could do the first week at home. The clinic choose the surrogate but if you are not happy with her for whatever reason, you can request a different one (as long as your reasons are valid.)
In terms of travel - we went with Turkish Airlines on the way out (London - Istanbul then Istanbul to Tbilisi.) On the return we went with Georgian airways on a direct flight to London (they run direct flights twice a week.)

Happy to answer any other questions.

Laura May - how are you getting on? What stage are you at?

HI. Though I would say hello ttc - how annoying, had I looked on here we could have arranged to meet in Tbilisi since we were there at the same time. We've had four donor choices fall through so are on our fifth at the end of October. We haven't even got to egg collection yet, let alone transfer!!! Everytime I say that I can't believe it. Never had this problem with donor eggs for me. So annoying but nothing we can do. Hope it's going well for others x

Thanks x

@ttc_adventure Keep my fingers crossed. I would like to say that Wizzair offers direct flights from Katowice (Poland) to Kutaisi. x

Hello everyone! Just wondering if any one here has used Atlas Care in Georgia? We have just gone through two failed cycles. Debating on sticking with the same clinic or moving to a new one. We did request a new SM that has had a child within the last five years. The SM that had our two previous transfers only had an 8 year old son. My doc here thinks we need someone that has had a more recent birth.
We are also considering PGD testing. Any insight would be great! Just want to make sure I am not being scammed

Hey

We're thinking of new life Georgia.
If the surrogate doesn't get a bfp do you still have to pay them?

 

[miamiamo]

I think it mainly depends on a clinic you are undergoing your teatment

Has anyone heard of Chachava Clinic?

 

[honey108]

Hey everyone
We are planning to go with New Life Georgia.
I would love to hear from all of you who have been there or planning to go with them

Hello Everyone,
  Im new to the forum and live in the States (Atlanta, GA).  I have been researching and have had little success in gestational surrogacy for singles with donor eggs.  So far, I have received quotes from the following:

World Fertility Services - 35,000 euro, but 15,000 is upfront. ( no guarantee and if not done on the first attempt then additional 4000 euro every other attempt)

New Life Georgia  (Kenya) - $44,000, but 26,000 is upfront.  (no guarantee and if not done on the first attempt then 3000 every other attempt)

Canadian Medical Care - $50,000, (after signing the contract 10% upfront, after positive pregnancy pay 30% then the other 60% in additional steps)

The cost isnt the issue, its the upfront cost and the notion that you give up money if no positive pregnancy on the first attempt. 

Has anyone experience any good results from any of the above or can recommend other options. 

Thanks.

@Jenniferpeng13 - no dir experiences at all, but came across positive reviews of their users

We are working with Atlas which is located in Batumi. Just had our third failed round. Anyone else have so many failed rounds? The suggested embryo testing is $1100 USD per embryo and we have 7 left. Just trying to see if anyone has been in a similar situation.

Has anyone heard of Chachava Clinic?

Same question, I can't find much information about Chachava, any one had experience with them ?

 

[miamiamo]

No personal experiences with Chachava, but try to Google the phrase Chachava клиника (Chachava clinic). When I Googled I had these results:

Hi, ladies)

Currently my husband and I are looking for a place for surrogacy. Previously we made a request to one of the Ukrainian clinics. Also we sent there some medical documents to clarify that we need surrogacy from the medical point. But in 2 days we received a reply from the manager that clinic doesn’t provide surrogacy so far. We were explained that the Ukrainian government is preparing new law according to the surrogacy process. Thus the clinic can`t accept new clients (
We are in despair( Now we again have to look for a place for our surrogacy.
Maybe someone has successful experience with surrogacy? Currently we have an idea of surrogacy in Georgia. If someone has any information pls give any advice. Which clinic was successful for you? Did you have any problem with the legislative issue during surrogacy?
I would be most grateful for any information.

Best wishes

I would say give Atlas Care a try. Amy is super helpful.
