Views on IVI clinics?

5 replies

I am thinking of possibly going to IVI for my first private treatment (3rd fresh cycle), does anyone have any experiences they could share? I've noticed they have them in Spain but recently heard them advertising their London clinic which would be ideal.

Thank you x

We used ivi in Madrid. 3rd fresh cycle - did 2 private in uk

Can't fault the clinic. Amazing staff and have own translater and always at call on phone or email

Sadly 3rd cycle failed but with higher drugs and fab technology and icsi managed to get 6 to freeze

Did era twice / dummy run to check hormones and lining and found my body responded better with extra day progynova

4 fet failed

5 fet bloody worked !!! Currently 30w preg

Feel free to message if you want with any queries etc

Hi blondes, thanks so much for your reply and massive congratulations on your pregnancy, not too much longer to go now!

Can you remember roughly how much it costs for an IVF cycle as I Couldn't find prices (only for their London clinic and wanted to compare).

Thanks so much again xx

I can't find the paperwork but sure was about 3000e plus drugs (which are waaaaaaaay cheaper in Spain)

Think worked out about £3.5k in all compared to £7k+ in uk

We flew over and back in a day and felt reassured

I also needed cirvical dilation and uk was £3.5k 😱😱😱 and same op in Madrid was think £800 inlckuding flights for df and I and hotel stay

Send ivi a message /free pack and all costs should be in there

They do icis as standard and part of package where uk was £1.5k extra to have it done and didn't even do it 😡

Had a look and if this link for price is right then gone up a bit

I will say they aren't the cheapest abroad

Serum in Athens and gest Prague are cheaper

But we were happy there and TBH easy to fly , grab a cab to ivi (bout 15m so 40euros) do the necessary 😉 And come home

They did freeze a sample from df incase he couldn't produce on the day and obv timings essential

Which again uk clinic didn't do

Thank you so much, it is much cheaper than London clinic then!

As you say easy to fly out to Spain and I'm all for an easy option!

Thank you so much again, hopefully I'll get going again in a few months (just giving myself a few months off) after two cycles with a 6 week gap in between Confused!

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy xx

What was their London clinic price guide?

Totally understand the time off. We took a year from 2nd failed till 3rd. Ur also had to save as df has kids in 20's so lost the NHS right :(

Get some info from them. They won't pressure you and you can read while you lick wounds

Welcome to message anytime if you want more info

And thanks about bubs. Still don't believe that after 10yrs ttc , 5 private ivf and £27k spent that im preg

Good luck 💐
