Visit and Care – a great idea to help you choose your IVF clinic

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:35:55 +0000

I received an email from Deedee of Visit and Care recently explaining the services that they offer to those of us looking to have IVF treatment. No we know how difficult it is to choose which clinic to go to, it’s the part that we struggled with the most, and to have a service where somebody who knows the process is there to hold your hand and help you through it sounds like a brilliant idea – especially when it does not cost you any extra! I asked Deedee if she would write a little about their services so that I could post it here. Check it out, and if you want to contact Deedee all her details are at the bottom of this post.

Here’s what Deedee says:

Why choose VisitandCare.com?

IVF Cost with IVF Support Services – Sweden / UK

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:32:31 +0000

If you are based in the UK there is a service offered by IVF Support Services that combines treatment in the UK and Sweden – pre treatment in the UK and the final leg in Sweden. Here are the details and answers to the questions from my letter requesting information on the IVF cost, IVF success rates and IVF procedure.

The questions I have regarding treatment at your clinic are:

What is the current success rate for your clinic? (preferably by age as I know that the success rate will be much lower for somebody of my age)

The Clinic Success Rate is 51% for one embryo transfer and 56% for two

41- 42yrs is 25% success rate

How many cycles do you perform per year at the clinic?

Approx 400

What is the maximum age that you treat?

42yrs old ( we also offer programmes in Denmark for 42-46yrs old and St Petersburg up to 49yrs for egg and sperm donation and embryo adoption)

Are there any fertility conditions that you will not treat?

Each individual case is taken on its own merit, If we cannot help we an offer assistance in finding another clinic.

What is your embryo transfer policy? How many embryos will you replace at one time?

A max of 2

What is the basic cost of the IVF treatment?

We offer a fixed price programme for Sweden including all pre treatment, viral screening, blood tests, scans, Consultations with the Consultant here, Medication, IVF Support Services support throughout, Egg collection, ICSI if required, Blastocyst cultivation if suitable, assisted hatching if needed, transfer, then final stage of 2 week wait care in the UK, continued support and access to the consultants throughout – £7500

What additional costs would / could be incurred?

Travel – £500 (based upon flights, travel and accommodation for the couple)

What happens to the costs if the cycle has to be abandoned?

The payment is broken down into stages so that you only pay for each stage as you have it, so for example if you did not go to Sweden as the cycle was abandoned you don’t pay for that part, the same with the medication its broken down so you pay for each medication as you receive it.

How long would I need to be in Sweden for?

8 days

Who deals with the logistics of flights and accommodation?

IVF Support Services deals with all of the logistics and planning.

How is the pre-treatment carried out?

The Pre treatment is carried out by the Consultant at his clinic in Essex, he is responsible for all of the pre treatment care.

How do I get medication?

Prescribed and given by the Consultant at your appointments

How will I be monitored?

By the consultant – you will be given a schedule of appointment dates and times and what will be carried out during those Consultations.

How will I know that I am not being under / over stimulated?

The Consultant will know this from your blood tests and scan during the stimualtion period and the medication can be adjusted accordingly

If I have a problem whilst in the UK who would I go to?

The Consultant in the UK / IVF Support Services

Is the clinic registered with any regulatory body?

Yes, the same as in this country Sweden has its own version of the HFEA and the clinic is registered with them – National Infertility Board of Sweden (IRIS). One of the Consultants also sits on the Board.
