Stone cold Doctors in Saigon clinic, Vietnam

[Earlyant]

My wife is Vietnamese and we decided to do ivf at a clinic in Saigon so she could be close to her family if she did become pregnant. I had to return to the UK before the embryo transfer was done.

Wife was alone for the last two weeks before the blood test and found the time extremely stressful, as did I. And wished I could be with her to help her through it.

She took the blood test this morning, and she was not pregnant.

She was devasted and she needed support, as she went to clinic alone, but her doctor refused to see her to offer any and another doctor just sarcastically mentioned in passing ‘how unlucky you are and try again when you next bleed’.

Disgusting. Just interested in the money and as she wasn’t pregnant the ‘gravy train’ had finished.

I realise IVF is a gamble but to offer absolutely no support was very stressful for my wife.

It’s not cheaper in Saigon. This was supposed to be a good clinic which is why my wife chose it. In total, have paid around £4500 for one complete cycle.

Still have frozen embryos at this clinic but very reluctant to let my wife take another cycle there due to the stone cold and money grubbing doctors.

Apologies for my rant.

Sorry that this has happened to you both. Hopefully you can both be together soon.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience too. It’s so surprising and disheartening. If anything I’d expect money grabbing clinics to be all over the negative results pushing for more rounds, repeat business so to speak. Good luck for the next steps in your journey whether that be at this clinic or another.
