Hi ladies, I'm hoping you can help
After our first round of ivf at the Lister clinic this summer, we have decided not to move forward with them again. Although I know it's a highly rated clinic, they are not only expensive but made a fundamental error that we can't overlook.
We are patients of Jonathan Ramsay (London based urologist) who has helped us narrow down our options for the next clinic as we've spent the last few weeks researching, focusing on ivf clinics abroad. He suggested Thames Valley Fertility and more specifically, Dr George Christopoulos. He believes Dr George and his clinic have an individualised approach and the expertise we need to be a good clinic for us. He also highly praises their approach to male fertility and their lab. He did say Embryolab and Serum (both in Greece) are his first two recommendations but that Thames Valley is worth a look.
The trouble is I can't find anything on it. I know the clinic is probably around one year old and that he doctor, while very experienced, is quite young as well. I don't know anyone who has been there and I am worried about putting another £5-£10k in the hands of a clinic when I have no other information to go on.
Have any of you ladies been patients there? Do you have any reviews? Is there a place where I can find more information?
We are aiming to see them this month but the rush is on - my husband's recent semen anlysis and culture tell us he no longer has antibodies in his sperm and the quality is the best it's been in a year so we'd like to freeze a sample wherever we go.
Can anyone help us? I'd really appreciate some guidance. I know his youth shouldn't be a reason to discount him but I think the decision to choose this second clinic is even more stressful than the first.
Thank you in advance!
