Considering Travelling for Treatment?

[andcou]

We have a number of free events coming up between September and November with some of Europe's influential fertility clinics. You can book your 20 minute consultation via [e-mail] - events held in London but if you are not able to get there we can arrange a telephone or skype call.

[andcou in reply to Azoivf]

Would you like me to send you contact details from a small number of Spanish clinics we have visited? Kind regards, Andrew

Hi Andrew, just seen your post. I’m looking to do Donor ivf in Europe or uk - just at early stages of research and was interested in your post. Do any of the clinics you have seen work with donors? Does any particular one specialise or have better success rates? What is your relationship to the clinics please? I would be grateful if you could be in touch. Thanks

About the Business and Donor Recruiting (questions to ask):

How long has the service been in business?

Will the service provide references?

How do they recruit donors?

What psychological screening is done on donors and by whom?

What medical screening is done on the donors? Ask to see a blank intake form so that you get a clear sense of the screening process.

What is the number of donors currently available?

How long is the average wait for a “match?”

How much information will you be given about the donor?

What, if any, information will be given to the donor about you?

Will your clinic or doctor work with this particular matching service?

If your donor has already been through medical screening, will repeat tests be required by the IVF clinic?

Does the matching service have legal counsel? If so, whose interests are represented? The services? The donors? Should you consider hiring an attorney to represent you?

If the donor changes her mind, will the service provide a new “match” with no additional fee?

What are financial arrangements if the donor has poor or no response to the stimulation protocol?

Hope this helps.

The good new definitely is that nowadays women over forty yrs old who had multiple failed ivf cycles can get prego and carry a genetically related baby. This is possible through the mitochondria donation treatment. Mitochondria are cell organelles that convert nutrients into energy. And this energy is needed to drive many processes in organism. A mitochondrion provides energy needed to ensure effective functioning of organs. There is often a decline in mitochondria function in oocytes of women above forty. That could be the reason for implantation failure. Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to multiple failed IVF cycles.

Here's how it works. Healthy mitochondria are retrieved from a donor’s egg and transferred to a patient’s egg. Then the oocyte is fertilized and a healthy embryo is transferred into a patient’s uterus.

A mitochondrial donor IS NOT a genetic parent of a future baby!! Donated mitochondria account for less than 1% of the baby’s DNA!! Therefore, women who donate their mitochondria will not have any rights for the baby. Mitochondrial donation is anonymous.

Mitochondrial donation program is a breakthrough in reproductive medicine. Infertility is a global health issue that is breaking records and now surrogacy and egg donation treatment are becoming first choices for women. Through these treatments, thousands of couples are becoming parents. Mitochondrial donation makes it possible for a woman to carry and give birth to a child genetically related to both parents on her own. Three-parent baby program allows thousands of infertile women all around the world to carry and give birth to genetically related to them babies. In Ukraine, for example, only one clinic provides such programs. The package costs depend on the number of attempts ## Also the prices for mitochondrial donation programs are inevitably increasing: 6500 EUR - 1 shot with mitochondrial replacement. 9900 EUR - 2 shots. 14900 EUR - 5 shots.

I personally love packages like this one~

Ideal package 39.900 euros (egg donation package with possibility of moving to surrogacy):

1 or 2 Embryo Transfers;

Medical treatment (they do not to have an age limit for egg donation programs);

Medications needed before transfer and 3 months after;

Egg donor fee;

Sperm donor (if needed);

Pregnancy monitoring till 12th week

Services of the coordinator in charge of the program;

Accommodation; Meals; Transfer from/to the airport and from/to the clinic.

In case of switching to surrogacy you are provided with services included into surrogacy package of your choice.

PGD/PGS (included in surrogacy packages only). The cost of every program at this clinic is divided into 6 payments - every payment is made on the certain stage of a program. The detailed payments schedule can be found in every contract. Hope this is useful for sb.
