IVF - would like to hear your experiences please?
Answer:
IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment; IUI, ICSI and Laparoscopic surgery is have become very common now. The cost is very low and the medical services are very good in India.
My cousin and her husband got their IVF treatment in India through the Forerunners Healthcare in India and is all praise for this company. She is a known case of PCOS.She is a very happy mother of a baby boy now. She just paid 2500 pounds for the full IVF treatment in India for which she was quoted 8000 pounds in private setup in UK.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the newspapers. I have also read about a Chinese couple who planned surrogacy through the Forerunners Healthcare. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery and infertility treatment like IVF, IUI, and ICSI abroad for low price. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery and treatment can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices

Hope this helps.
I had two cycles - first ended in miscarriage, the second in a healthy baby boy. The first cycle was hard as I had mild hyperstimulation - very uncomfortable, though my symptoms were not cause for concern from a medical standpoint. Had I not got pregnant that first time, I think I would not have done it again. Yet the second cycle was absolutely fine - a bit uncomfortable, but nothing too bad at all, though the same drug dosages were used. My baby boy is worth all of it. That said, I have to admit it was stressful. I wish you the best of luck, whatever you decide to do.
Suzita - there is a great USA approved fertility clinic in beautiful Barbados that has a great success rate. To learn more about the clinic visit www.newbabyjubilee.com and click on 'community'. You can also meet a few couples there who are taking IVF at the clinic and are successful.
I am in the middle of my second fresh IVF cycle. I did my first cycle last September and I also got overstimulated. I had good embies but I did not get pregnant. I had some leftover embryos frozen after the first cycle, and we did an FET (frozen embryo transfer) the next month. It was much less stressful, but it did not work. I waited over a year to try again. I won't know if this cycle will work for three weeks or so, but I am hoping.
I was 29 at the time of 1st cycle and am 30 now. We have an undiagnosed issue as all tests have come back normal and embryo quality was excellent. We put back 2 embies the first cycle and 3 embies for the FET. We are currently doing a shared risk plan, which gives us 4 IVF cycles and any FETs that may result. We pay $22,500 up front, but get $20,000 back if we do not get a baby when we finish the cycles. We plan to use it for adoption if IVF doesn't work.
If you would like to read more about other IVF experiences or have questions, I would recommend the Fertile Thoughts forum. It can be found here: http://www3.fertilethoughts.com/forums/f... It is a great place to chat with people who know a lot about infertility and IVF.
I completed my first IVF cycle in October and I am now 10 weeks pregnant with a singleton. I suffer from severe and agressive endometriosis and my hubby and I had been ttc for over 3 years. We opted to transfer 3 embryos in hopes that 1 or 2 would attach and 1 did.
If I had gotten pregnant the first time, I definitely would have done it again. The process is stressful on the mind and body (and pocketbook) but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
