Clincs

[Soapqueen87]

Morning all, hope you're all well.

Just after some personal recommendations for clinics. I live in Cheshire but willing to travel. I know we can't name drop on here so an inbox would be great, thank you.

We've just had our 2nd FET which again resulted in a negative outcome. We were NHS but now going private. Don't want to stay where we are as it just feels like there's a complete lack of care. It shouldn't make a difference whether we're NHS or private.

Thanks in advance x

honesty if time/work permits have a look abroad it works out usually a lot cheaper even with flights , accommodation etc and often the clinics are much more care orientated and supportive.

My experience in UK in the private field has not been the best. If you can have a look abroad, in my case the service, the place, the communication, in general everything was a step up … also the price was a lot cheaper!

But I am sure many people have had super good experience in UK.

All the best of luck!

I would agree with the above two comments. I have just had a postive result from my treatment in Cyprus. They could not have done more to help both treatment wise and with the care and support they gave me. Totally different experience from my other two times in the UK.

Me to for a vote for abroad. I’m with a clinic in Spain on a refund guarantee programme. I only have experience with one NHS round which was scans at local hospital then transfer at private clinic, however everything in Spain just feels so much better imo. The clinic is lovely, much less “clinical” feeling, communication fantastic - I have my own PA so singe point of contact and consistency (she was off sick during my last transfer and I really missed her!), and after research I just feel that they are so much more advanced than UK. I’m using a donor and there’s no wait either. X

Hi! I’m in North Wales and I started with a place in Chester and then they moved to Daresbury.

Just wanted to say I got what I paid for and I’m pregnant but…..the experience was made unnecessarily extra stressful due to the haphazard way they conduct their business. There was errors and miscommunication all over the place. Only inproved when I complained and asked for a designated person. By that time I was ready to break and near the end of the process. Can’t fault their clinical side but the communication and admin side is awful. I did look and they are operating within rules for governing body which just governs the science and legal side. The patient experience side doesn’t seem to be regulated or come into it.

Will PM you place name.

Sorry edited because I just saw comment saying don’t post names
