Finding an fertility clinic can be daunting, especially with so many great options to choose from. Asking the right questions can lead to a comfortable and trusting journey that ends in success for you or your partner.
Reading plenty of information about all the different reputable doctors, embryologists, specialists and treatments can be overwhelming. There are many factors to consider when choosing which fertility clinic will be best suited for you: location, cost of services offered, experience level of providers at that particular facility, or even how “friendly” the staff members seem to be towards new patients. The key thing about getting pregnant – whether through IVF treatment or natural conception – is that having positive experiences with clinics can make all the difference in preparing yourself mentally as well as physically before starting this process.
The right fertility clinic can help ease those painful moments when hope seems lost as well as provide peace of mind with all the information about what each step means for future success rates.
The first step is finding out what type of treatments are available at each clinic. Some clinics offer treatment options such as IVF (in vitro fertilization), IUI (intrauterine insemination), donor egg cycles with surrogates or sperm donors – all tailored towards different types of infertility problems like male factor infertility with low motility rates; female factor infertility due to irregular ovulation; blocked fallopian tubes preventing pregnancy etc.
The process of finding out about your fertility clinic options for assisted reproductive technology (ART) is an important one that should not be rushed or ignored as it could have life-altering consequences on your future family plans.
There are a host of great fertility clinics in South Africa offering a variety of services from egg donation and retrieval, sperm donation, IVF treatment, surgeries and more fertility treatments.
A good place to start to find the right fertility clinic for you and your partner is by looking for information on websites such as Fertility Solutions (www.fertilitysolutions.co.za) that offer a comprehensive list of top fertility clinics across South Africa to choose from.
What should I look for when choosing a fertility clinic?
When considering which fertility clinic you would like to go to, there are many things to take into consideration, such as:
- What are the success rates of the fertility clinic?
- What days and hours is the fertility clinic open?
- Where is the fertility clinic located?
- Are the staff at the fertility clinic friendly or professional?
- What are the services that the fertility clinic offers, beyond basic fertility treatment?
- Does the fertility clinic adhere to specific guidelines?
Another consideration is cost. Fertility clinics charge different rates for their services depending on what you choose.
No matter what, getting the right answers from your doctor or specialist is paramount to having an enjoyable experience during your process of starting a family.
