Infertility treatment step by step: surrogacy and egg donation in BioTexCom
A choice of international reproductive clinic is kind of a leap in the dark. That is why it is very important to be informed. The more information you have the better choice you can make. We will show you how it works in details
Thanks for sharing. Useful as usual. So many things to be aware of! But the game is fair. And the most important is that we were treated not like 'cyclers' but like individuals with our paculiar needs. Our dr & nurse were amazing. Have nothing to regret about using them.
ReplyDeleteThe stubborn truth remains that women are most capable of conceiving in their mid 20s. A subtle drop in fertility begins in the early 30s. Just as many women are hitting their career strides. The decline accelerates around age 37 and then more sharply after 40, fertility doctors say. Of course, not all fertility problems are age-related. I really enjoyed talking to the other woman who was waiting in the RE office at the same time as I was. I had to travel to Ukraine in order to use fertility treatment because in France it was impossible. We chose the one with the highest rank. Despite the money side we were expecting to get the best result we could. BioTexCom also offered all-inclusive packages so we were lucky to worry nothing but procedures. Having already put years into fertility treatments we knew this was time to go straight to surrogacy. Actually I didn't like people around kept on saying --adopt! This was not my way!! And I always used to say back: 'May I ask how many of these parentless children you have adopted? I am sure someone as concerned as you has adopted many of them...' Everyone as its own path. And this is great we're allowed to use the chance.
ReplyDeleteI know, there is a policy in Australia that an egg donor can only donate to a certain max number of recipients.. The purpose of this max number is to limit the number of families with children who are half siblings through the egg donor. I'm not sure though whether it's the same in Ukraine..As for the adoption process. I've never thought about it as the less invasive or less costly option. The process might be even more complicated than surrogacy and it doesn't promise you'll have your baby at the end. A good legal consultation is the first thing to apply when considering adoption/surrogacy tourism.
DeleteSadly enough this happens. Mentioned earlier, “too low” varies between doctors. But usually three or fewer follicles will lead to cancellation. Some doctors will cancel a cycle if there are fewer than even five follicles. If intended parent has diminished ovarian reserves and doesn’t want to use an egg donor, then it's quite fair she's not qualified for stimulation. There are, however, times when a poor response, in combination with other factors, is a sign you should move on. Depending on the problem, this may mean moving onto donor eggs or considering adoption or a childfree life.
ReplyDeleteSo good you explain things to people. And it's important to know that not every couple can opt for guaranteed packages. There are some restrictions. Of course they're more likely to say no if you have some of the genetic diseases. Or if you've hidden for example some of the facts which may cause risks during pregnancy. they have to know guaranteed treatment plan will 90% work out and offer unlimited number of attempts to boost chances. And if you fail to conceive after 5 shots and don't want to continue or your body is not likely to deal with this meds burden any more, they will refund all money paid back. Anyway I've never seen such option before among other clinics considered. Biotexcom packages are well thought out. There are suitable ones for everyone's pocket. Their contract are trasparent. All services and costs mentioned. No hidden costs. You get the plan, follow treatments and sooner or later get your baby. As far as I know there were no cases when biotexcom patients returned home without kids.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this video. Sometimes sth like ''Go for surrogacy!'' sounds really ridiculous! I mean people advising now nothing on how it works. They're more likely to think it's a walk in the park whether to adopt or have a bbay through surrogacy. Unfortunately we cannot just come and say ''we want a surro to carry our baby. Let's sign a contract'' The plan is more complicated though..
ReplyDeleteIt happens unfortunately..Whilst ivf#2 I remember I was back from my scan. They saw still only 3 decent follicles. Sth like 16mm, 18mm and 20mm but I may be mistaken now. The rest were all under 8mm and were not going to be collected. Our consultant said that since I was a high dose he would expect a better outcome in another cycle with the highest. I decided I wanted to go ahead. But I was waiting to speak to dh who was out of country. We really didn’t have much time to make that decision. Whilst ivf#3 I was worried that none of the follicles will have eggs in them. Don’t know why. I was so sick and tired of all those stims. I knew I just had to wait and see. I thought if I didn’t go ahead I would spend the rest of my ‘fertile’ years trying to get pregnant again. At least that way I’d given it all I could. I understood also I might not react any better on more drugs. But truly thought that each month is different. So another time trying, might lead to 6 good sized follies – you can’t rule this out! I wish docs wouldn’t ‘generalise’ all the time. Anyway – another thing they don’t endorse is ‘quality over quantity’! Unfortunately our shot#3 failed as the previous ones..Dr told us not ’cause of embies’ quality, but for my inability to keep beans for longer than a couple of wks..
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your honesty. No wonder all the sides need to be covered from the unfortunate event flow. I believe intended parents have to keep this in mind when applying for the fertility center's help. Furthermore, a woman cannot be stimulated forever, right. The body does get drained due to all meds consumption/stress of predicting the outcomes..etc. And if using donor eggs is sth out of the question for the couple, then ''NO'' should also be expected..It's sad but fair.
ReplyDeleteNice watching. thank you for your efforts. That's quite understandable that you cannot take every couple into the programs. realizing that woman's body cannot go through stimulating all the time, so probably, it might get drained..so that she'll need to turn to donor eggs..And for the majority it appears to be the cornerstone..Every case is so much individual....
ReplyDeleteI've recently come across such a thought. 70 percent of IVF cycles fail. when patients do multiple cycles the costs climb fast. To offset this, roughly half of US clinics offer the chance to pay up front to buy a package of treatments at a discount (Sometimes with a refund if you don’t succeed.) In effect, this is a gamble on the patient’s part. If you need to use these extra treatments, you purchased them at a discount. But, if you have a baby or get pregnant before using all these cycles, you don’t get your money back. That's why not all the patients are so optimistic about using guaranteed plans. Would really want to hear some other points of view.
DeleteIt's all understandable. Infertility is a struggle, and it was the biggest challenge I ever faced. Here was something I had little control over and couldn't just work harder to overcome. What I could do was seek help from medical professionals, and that made all the difference. Experts say women under 35 who are trying to get pregnant should seek help after about a year of trying with no results. Women over 35 are encouraged to seek help after six months. One thing got obvious to me - While there are cases of families getting lucky on the first IUI and/or IVF, don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen for you right out of the gate. It can often take multiple attempts before you get pregnant. so better to stay realistic.
