Choosing a fertility clinic can be a difficult task. After all, whatever decision you make you will have to live with for a very long time.
To be of assistance, we’ve outlined five areas for you to take into consideration when determining the right fertility clinic for you.
Philosophy: When you visit the their website, is their patient philosophy clearly stated? Does it appeal to you? Does the organization require its members to follow ethical guidelines? Does the clinic have age limits for treatment?
Review Success Rates: Deciphering success rates can be tricky as not all clinics format their success rates in the same way. Call and ask which of the success rates applies to you.
Range of Services Offered: What services are offered and how often are they done? Are they familiar with the latest technologies?
Medical Director: How long as the Medical Director been there? This is a good indicator of the strength of leadership.
Scheduling Flexibility: Is the clinic open evenings, weekends, and holidays? This is especially important for certain courses of treatment.
Women over age 35 or who have a history of three or more miscarriages; men with a poor semen analysis; and couples who have tried for at least two years to get pregnant, should plan on seeing a fertility specialist, recommends Resolve, an infertility support group.
