IVF abroad

Hi
can I have some recommendations of ivf clinics abroad that are fairly well regulated/affiliated with clinic in the UK please?
I’ve had a few cycles in the UK and looking to go abroad for financial reasons, I’m a doctor so am quite aware of regulation issues and wary of going somewhere with completely different practices than in the UK. It would be great to get some recommendations from people who have been abroad recently.

thanks in advance

Serum in athens greece gave me my bfp after many cycles in Ireland where I was also told my only option would be donor eggs! So couldn't recommend serum highly enough

My clinic wasn't affiliated with any in the UK, but I recently got back from doing a round in Prague. I went with Unica, but did a few different consultations with others as they're free of charge.
I found both the care and clinic to be much better than I experienced with my private clinic in London and my results after egg collection were better too. I'm currently pregnant and have 2 embryos frozen too

Hi, I know someone who had success for the second time with the Zlin Clinic in the Czech Republic, undergoing IVF with egg donation. When selecting a clinic, it’s important to consider their expertise and success rates, especially with patients of your age and those who have similar infertility challenges. I recommend starting with this resource: www.fertilityclinicsabroad.com/find-ivf-clinics-europe/. I’ve been a frequent reader and trust the profiles they provide for various clinics. Their listings can be a great starting point to shortlist clinics and ask the key questions I mentioned above. I hope this helps

For affiliated clinics, I'm aware Lister is with instituo Bernabeu in Spain.
There is a fertility show in London in the beginning of the year, it's probably a good idea to attend and speak to clinics here. You get free consultations and can seek out clinics easily

That’s really useful thank you. I’ve been recommended by someone else so I’ll contact them. X

I had no idea fertility conventions were a thing. Now that we are ready to move on I’ll take a look. Thank you
