Has anyone's partner had this blood test? My hubby has been recommended to have this test and I have just been quoted £700 OMG so expensive, does anyone know where this test can be done at a more reasonable price?? Happy to travel based on the quote given. Does anyone know if this test would worth doing? has anyone had this test and did it make a difference on your IVF cycle??Any advise would be great. x

Hi! Me and my husband we both have done this test for diagnosing recurrent miscarriage, it was something that we offer to do as I was worried and we done it before we start IVF journey.

I can’t help you with price as we done it with NHS.

We would have done even if we had to pay as It gave us the peace of mind we needed...

Best of luck xx

My husband had his one checked with NHS so we didn’t pay, I did mine in Spain in December and it cost me 90€. I just checked the price list. You cannot do it with NHS?

Sometimes prices here can be ridiculous, for example DNA fragmentation test here was £500, in Spain we did it for 200€.

All the best ❤️

Hey there Ranchu90, 90 euro wow, what a massive difference in price. I though it might be cheaper to jump on a plane to get this done rather than pay £700 here. Do you mind letting me know where you went I could ask them if they will do just the blood tests for me? Thanks xx
