Hello.
We have finished our one NHS round of IVF with no success and are now thinking of going privately. We've kindly been offered help with funding this from a family member, so would like a good idea of costs. I know it's not that simple and nobody can give me a hard and fast figure for us, but if anyone could tell me how much their treatment cost and where they had it, I'd be really grateful.
We had our round in the Shropshire and Mid Wales clinic. The first transfer was a fail with our best blast, the second transfer a fail with our two remaining blasts. We had to thaw both blasts for the last transfer and there was a chance that the one we left wouldn't survive another freeze and thaw, so we transferred both. All blasts were great quality apparently. My second transfer was after a Gonapeptyl injection and then Progynova pills and Cycolgest pessaries. I don't know if this is standard?
For info, I have stage 3 Endo and a frozen pelvis. During my lap, the surgeon couldn't remove any because the scar tissue was attached to my bowel and I hadn't had bowel prep. I'm not sure if my Endo is the culprit for zero blast success, nobody can tell me. My husbands sperm if fine. We seem to make decent blasts, they just didn't stick.
If anyone has any insight into clinics anywhere (my boss will give me a full month of annual leave if need be, so location isn't too much of a problem) and how much they cost, because I've pretty much no idea now. I feel like I just went along with whatever the clinic advised because I felt they're the experts. Sorry for the essay, I know it's a long shot asking strangers on the internet from all over the country, but the amount of clinics and protocols is baffling.
