EMMA/ALICE-test - how much did you pay and where did you go?

[yellow_cake]

Hi!

This might be an odd question. I am curious on doing an EMMA/ALICE-test before my next transfer but in Sweden where I live, there is no or very little options to to this test so I am searching for opportunities to do this in another country now. Could you recommend a clinic where they offer this and where I don't have to do an IVF at the same clinic, since I already have my frozen embryos in my clinic at home? (if you have any names I would love to get a PM so that it is not advertised, sorry for the inconvenience) Also, how much did it cost?

One of my other concerns is that I have gotten a bit scared of flying and I am so hesitant in having to sit on a plane only to do this test, which I know might be required for me to do. I was searching for clinics in Denmark (so that I could go there without flying) but I couldn't find anything. I know this forum is UK-based so this question might be a really long shot, but I found so much more useful information here in this community than I have found at home which is why I still want to ask.

All IVF treatment in UK is regulated by an official body, made up of experts, call the HFEA (Human Fertilisation and Embryology Association). They rate all add-on treatments provided by fertility clinics, based on a regular review of all published academic literature and studies. You may want to read what they have on EMMA/ALICE testing.

There may be equivalents in Sweden, but I don't know about them, so can't reference)

Hi lovely, have a look at the Female Microbiome test by Fertilysis: fertilysis.com/tests/female...

It tests for the same stuff as the EMMA/ALICE but the lab (which is based in Greece) sends you a DIY test kit where you collect your sample at home and then just post it back to them. I highly recommend it xx

Hi! Oh thank you so much for the tips! May I ask if you have used these as well? I am always worrying that it might be something suspicious but maybe that is not the case here. xx

[soccerkt6 in reply to yellow_cake]

Yep, I've used them as have quite a few other women on here. They're legit xx

[yellow_cake in reply to soccerkt6]

Thank you! I needed to hear this! xx

Hi again!

So sorry for bothering you with another question. I just ordered the Fertilysis microbiome test but I feel a bit confused regarding the payment. I only chose paypal as the payment-option, nothing more, and in the confirmation-email (which was sent out twice with 2 different ordernumbers) it says that "Your order will be processed as soon as your payment is received." , but I didn't get the chance to proceed with any payment. Do you know how it has worked when you used this?

[soccerkt6 in reply to yellow_cake]

I don't think I paid with paypal so I can't speak to that particular issue but perhaps they'll send a payment link to your email? The two different order numbers is strange though. I would email the main admin person there, Victoria, to enquire about the order number confusion and payment. I’ll dm you her email xx
