Agora, Esperance or Bridge?

Hi all, I have finally got referred for IVF which is amazing and now I need to choose the right clinic. Esperance is in Eastbourne but appointments are in Goring which is just round the corner however the main procedure is done in Eastbourne. Hove is just 10-20min by train I think. The Bridge is about 2 hours away on the train.

Now, the Bridge has the highest success rates 52%for women below 35, I am 34. Agora has 37% and Esperance is more or less the same.

What would you suggest?

I think I will choose Agora because of location which is just easier. Has anyone been with Agora?Any comments about that clinic?

Thank you Ladies! and good luck to us all!;-)

Hi Filipinam I don't know about the specific clinics in your area as I'm in Hertfordshire, however when we were deciding where to go we also weighed up the options. We went with a clinic which had a satellite clinic just up the road from us and it's been brilliant for appointments and scans etc, it's taken the stress away from long journeys etc and means I can go for appointments first thing and go straight to work after. We decided to avoid London clinics for ease of getting to and from by car, especially for egg transfer. Good luck with your ivf journey

Thank you for you comments. Yes I do have a satellite clinic just round the corner for appointments but the main procedure is done 1 hour away be car or over 1.5 hrs by train. My gut feeling is telling me-choose the highest success rate clinic, however my fertility consultant said think about location and that it is better to have the clinic closer to home. I have not decided yet. I would get a time off work paid or unpaid I do not really worry about that to be honest. Having a child is my top priority no matter what. I am 34 time is running out....

I am currently with the Agora and I could not be happier, my friend went to the bridge and was successful after her second cycle. I personally hate travelling into London so went with the Agora as its 40 minutes in the car. Feel free to ask any questions :-) xx
