Hello Everyone! Hope you're well and had a good start to 2024 no matter where you are in your journey to parenthood :)😀

I'd really like some help/advice. I'm wanting to start IVF for the first time in my 40's and just can't decide which clinic to go for.... the amount of choice is overwhelming leaving me at a loss of what fit is best. Feel completely in limbo and all the while the clock is ticking and I'm not doing anything about it....😱

Appreciate you can't be seen to advertise clinics on here but be great if you could message me directly if anyone has experience/advice to share of following:

-Create Bristol (although can't decide if the whole Natural Stimulation for my low AMH is a good or bad idea)

-BCRM Bristol

-ARGC London

-IVI London

-Clinics in Alicante, Spain - IVI, IVF-Life, Clinica EVA, Phi Fertility Center, Instituto Bernabeu -any others people have experienced.

-We'd be self-funding as my AMH is too low for NHS support (when I was younger and eligible). Not particularly loaded so cost is a factor, and we're old (I'm 43, my b.f 42) Wanted to try with my own eggs first (even though the odds are very low, but hope that would at least give me peace of mind "I tried" even if doesn't work) May have a free place to stay near-ish Alicante - hence looking there)

Any help very greatly appreciated 😍

I wouldn't go to Spain. Looks too commercial setting, whatever we checked.
