Which clinic? Single using donor

[Laura3245]

Hi everyone,
I've just begun my journey and am making the difficult decision of which clinic to use!
I recently had an online chat with a doctor at IVI Madrid which cost €90. I liked the sound of it.
Has anyone used this clinic? My main reason for going overseas is the cost - but once you've factored in flights and hotels does it actually work out any cheaper or would you rather stay and do it at a clinic closer to home for ease?

It depends on how stressful you find travelling, but certainly the way things are at the moment I'd consider looking at clinics closer to home. You may save some costs going abroad, even accounting for travel/hotels but it may not be as much as you think or worth the hassle (I couldn't tell you how much you'd save - I looked at Danish clinics, not Spanish ones).

If you go to Spain you'll also have the issue that the donor gametes will be completely anonymous (unlike in the UK there is no information for the child even at 18, because of Spanish law) which is not generally recommended by donor conception charities/donor conceived people. So that's another element to consider in your research. Good luck!.
