[quote=Anonymous]For those of you who have done IVF abroad, can you share some info?

1. How long did you have to be there? From research, it seems some clinics allow you to arrive later in stim phase (day 8 or 9?) and then have the retrieval, transfer, and leave within 7-10 days total. Wishful thinking? In both IVF cycles I did here I had to stim for 12 and 11 days.
2. Did you partner have to go with you? It looks like there may be an option to send frozen sperm, not sure if this is a real thing (from my partner, not a donor bank).
3. Was PGT testing an option? It isn't mentioned at many clinics. This would speed things up in focusing on a fresh transfer, but if it doesn't work then you have to return again for future FET (if you have frozen options)
4. Do you have any other creative options on how you minimized your time/cost? Are there any US based clinics I should be researching that are somewhat on par with Total Cost (OOP) after factoring in travel costs, stays, time off from work, and potential return visits for more FETs?

Thank you so much in advance. I have done IVF twice in the US, had 2 unsuccessful FETs with PGT normal blasts, and am trying to weigh options, including doing a Shared Risk option in the US instead (but that is like $32k with PGT. I am 35). I do have a child so abroad is an added headache of dealing with parenting and being away, or surviving being abroad all together.[/quote]
