Human Growth Hormone IVF clinics abroad

6 replies

Hi All, after 2 failed rounds of IVF, I am keen to try human growth hormone (HGH) e.g. zomacton, for my next (and likely last) cycle. I have contacted clinics like Serum in Greece and Institut Bernabeu in Spain, but they say they don't prescribe it. Has anyone had it prescribed for them whilst undergoing IVF abroad in Europe, and if so where?
I know some UK clinics prescribe it, but they are very expensive.

Thanks so much Firefly42, did it make a difference for you? I am pursuing this as a single woman, and I've just double-checked Prague- they will only accept couples.

I cant say it did.I have very low amh and only get max 2-3 eggs but still produce 1 to 2 embyros.We have a 2 year old from our second round of ivf.I thought using it may help quality with being 42.First cycle we used it we had one embyro and second cycle no follicles grew AT ALL which was a first for me.Exact same protocol both times.It was around €2,000 for i think 8 days of HGH.However some people have great results from using it.x

@Firefly42 Can I ask which clinic you used in Prague? I am looking for this too, and while ARGC in London offer it, their treatments are very expensive. I am so sorry HGH didn't work out for you... I think it works best for people who are low in growth factor according to the IGF-1 test.
