ICSI

[Nevermine1]

Hi all. Has anyone had any experience using ABC fertility clinic for ICSI?

They are the cheapest I've come across but not sure cheapest is the best way.

Would love to hear more if possible and any recommendations.

ABC deal with very basic ivf. Usually couples that are same sex or unexplained infertility. I think if you are a slightly more complicated couple for example have endometriosis like myself then they don’t tend to accept you xxxx

ABC definitely accepts endometriosis cases (I’m one of them and been through consultation at ABC). That’s true that there are some acceptance criteria such as:

1) AMH level above 12

2) age <37

3) BMI <30

But having endometriosis doesn’t disqualify you from the treatment in their clinic.

The egg collection, fertilisation (including ICSI) happens at their sister clinic CREATE which has lots of experience. The main difference in the price is because they use much less medication during their standard mild protocols.

ABC are for straightforward cases only, they only take on uncomplicated cases and you have to be under a certain age (maybe38?) and have a good egg reserve (they test your levels).

I would say they’re best for ppl where it’s male factor as that’s usually an easier solve (with ICSI or IMSI).

You won’t see the same person at each appt, you’ll see different nurses and you won’t see the doctor each time.

They won’t do any deep investigative work and aren’t specialists in anything.

That said, if your case is uncomplicated, you can’t beat their price. All retrievals and transfers are done at their sister clinic, Create.
