In Vitro Fertilization…
Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant after one year of trying and can be caused by many factors, both male and female. It is estimated that one in six couples are affected by infertility, and this number is increasing as some families delay childbirth. Fertility treatment, or infertility treatment, falls into one of three categories: ovulation induction, artificial insemination, or assisted reproduction.
Fertility treatment is an excellent option for the medical tourist as treatment can easily be combined with sightseeing and self-pampering. In addition, it is minimally invasive.
There are several factors which may make a person travel for fertility treatment, including:
Huge savings, both on procedures and medications can be achieved in other countries. This certainly does not mean a diminishing of quality as the clinics in our network have similar, and in some cases better, clinical success rates.
If you have had previous experiences in your home country with IVF, for example, you may have been treated like a number, not a patient in a fragile state. You likely found it hard to get face time with doctors or nurses, were passed amongst a team, no one really knowing your story. Our fertility doctors are dedicated to this goal and have been chosen for this reason.
Although we often are bred to believe our own system is superior, some of the clinics in our network offer options which may not be available to you at home, like oocyte donation, surrogacy, pre-genetic diagnosis(PGD), and IMSI (“super ICSI”).
If you’ve undergone IVF in the past, you know that it is coupled with a strict regimen of medication and causes definite hormonal fluctuations. Many of our patients report that they want to take their minds off their procedures by relaxing and traveling in beautiful surroundings, and the money they save makes this possible. How does Costa Rica, Panama, or Barbados sound? How about relaxing at a spa or reading a book on the beach?
For the fertility patient, this is probably the most important consideration. The fertility doctors in our network have a proven track record of success, and are some of the best in the business with success rates matching, or surpassing, North American clinics.
• You can usually fly very soon after the conclusion of treatment.
• The treatments are very safe, day procedures.
• After care can easily be carried out by phone, video conferencing, or by your home doctor. In fact, this is often the case even in your home country.
Please note that the average costs do not include medication which can represent significant additional savings as the same drugs are priced locally for the market conditions and are often half the cost. These prices are in U.S. dollars and may vary between providers.
