IVF Clinics- How to choose a good one for you?

by Shivani Sachdev Founder & Director

It is not easy to come to terms with your or your partner's infertility issues. But with correct Medical help, you and your partner can overcome your fertility problem and conceive a child, depending on your diagnosis. There are many kinds of treatment available and one of them is IVF treatment. IVF stands for In vitro fertilization, and in this treatment, the eggs and sperms are taken outside of the body and fused together in a vitro or glass. Though there are many IVF treatment clinics available now, it is always confusing to choose the best among so many.

Don’t worry though, we have got you covered. To choose the best IVF treatment clinic, you have to keep certain points in mind and have to analyze the clinic on basis of these points. This way, you can easily get to know which of the clinic the best is for you.

Following points need to be kept in mind while searching for the best IVF treatment clinic:

Who is your doctor? What is his specialization and experience?

It is very important to do a thorough check of the doctor who is going to do your treatment. If the doctor does not have skills or has not done the proper specialization, then it might prove quite dangerous for you to put your health in his hands. It is also required to check the no. of successful treatments he has done before.

What is the success rate of the clinic?

Analyzing the success rate of the clinic is as important as the analysis of the doctor’s history. Even though there are many clinics out there which are quite good, but not every clinic succeeds in helping a person to overcome a fertility problem. Success rates are the measure of the time the clinic has successfully helped a person to conceive.

What is the birth rate of the conceived child at the clinic?

Though many clinics are able to help you conceive a child, it is not necessary that the conceived child will survive. It is very important to know the children that were conceived at the clinic and actually survived.

What is the location of the clinic and what is the cost of the treatment?

It is very important for a person to keep in mind the location of the clinic. If the clinic is too far from your home, then it might not be the best choice to have your treatment over there as it might create a lot of disturbance for you. Also, it will take time for you to reach the clinic in time of emergencies. Another thing to consider is the price of the treatment. Though IVF Treatment is bound to be a bit expensive, many clinics are literally extorting huge amount of money from the patients. Why give someone lots of money for the same service offered by many other good clinics and that too at a reasonable price?

Talk to the previous patients of the clinic

Though it might look like a stretch, talking to the previous patients of the clinic will ensure that whether you are at the right place, or you should move on to the next clinic. The previous patients can unveil a great deal about the doctors, the treatment and also the success of the clinic. Most of the good clinic mentions their previous patient’s reviews on their website, so it will not be difficult for you to get a hold of one.

So these are the few points that you can consider to select a good IVF Treatment clinic for you. Hope we were able to help you.
