A quick internet search for ‘fertility clinic near
me’ can be a starting point, but there is so much more to consider when making
such an important decision. The first thing I recommend to do is to make note
of all the aspects that are important to you.
Aspects that are important to me in a fertility clinic
1. Location:
Location is an important aspect when deciding on a
fertility clinic. For some people, proximity to home/work is key, in which case
it’s easy to find a few options available when searching for ‘fertility clinic
near me’. Fertility treatment will involve a number of appointments so
convenience is important.
However, other people, may want to consider
treatment abroad. This may be related to fertility laws that allow different
treatments in different countries. For example, anonymity in egg/sperm donation
or more flexible surrogacy laws. Or it may be that they want their fertility
journey to be like a holiday meaning they are able to disconnect from work and
family duties and just focus on treatment.
Whatever your preference may be, location is one of
the aspects you will need to reflect on.
2. Treatments/technology available:
The type of treatments and technology available in
the clinic is also an important point. Some people may be looking for a natural
or mild IVF approach whilst others may be looking for standard IVF.
Other treatments considered can include:
ICSI – which involves injecting the sperm into the
egg which can be useful for example in sperm-related infertility.
PGS/PGD – which involve doing a biopsy of the
embryos for genetic testing before deciding which embryo to transfer into the
uterus.
Egg/sperm donation – for example, when egg/sperm
quality is an issue or for same-sex couples
Donor IVF - Donor IVF is the part of the infertility
treatment in which pregnancy can be achieve by using donor egg or sperm. The
donor eggs are fertilized with the sperm (or by using Intracytoplasmic sperm
injection) in the lab and when the embryos develop as a result of the
fertilization, it is placed in the womb for conception.
Surrogacy – which involves having another woman
carrying the pregnancy to term.
Technology is always evolving, so a clinic that
keeps up to date is likely to have better results. In terms of these
technologies and treatments you can trust Mother’s Lap IVF centre completely. Time-lapse
technology, for example, is a way of monitoring the embryos whilst they grow in
the incubator. This helps the embryologist to decide which embryo is the best
candidate for implantation.
3. Medical team:
The medical team is one of the most important
aspects to consider when deciding for a fertility clinic. You may want someone
who is not only knowledgeable but also who you are able to connect with. Someone
who understands what you are going through and treats you well. Dr. Shobha
Gupta, renowned IVF doctor in India is very humble in approach, understands
your point of views, trusted, polite, never throws her opinion on you, knowledgeable,
experienced and moreover the bestest IVF doctor one can look for, as she fits
in all your categories of finding the best practionner for infertility
treatment. Apart from choosing a medical approach that resonates with you, you
may want to consider whether the clinic provides emotional support, nutritional
support, acupuncture, reflexology or any other kind of support you feel useful
during this journey.
4. Price:
Fertility treatment can be expensive, so cost is
often of the aspects people consider before deciding on a fertility clinic.
Most clinics will have their price list available on their website. You can
also ask them if they have any financing options available which may make
treatment more affordable to you. Mother’s Lap IVF Centre treatments are not
only affordable but provides with EMI facility too. You can call at the centre
and ask for the quotation.
5. Success rates
Success rates are also an important factor when
choosing a fertility clinic. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees when it
comes to fertility care. Individual successes will depend on many factors.
Clinics will publish their success rates, but these can sometimes be hard to
understand as they can be measured in different ways. For example, they may be
measured by the number of pregnancies per treatment cycle, by the number of
pregnancies per egg collection or by the number of pregnancies per embryo
transfer. It is important to understand that not all cycles that start will
reach egg collection or embryo transfer and so success rates will vary
depending on exactly what they are measuring. You should only compare like for
like when it comes to success rates.
By using above points to decide on a fertility
clinic, will hopefully ease the process and reassures you that the choice is in
tune with aspects that matter to you as a patient.
