Athens IVF

[Alwaystrying]

This is a complete stab in the dark but has anyone ever done any enquiries into fertility in Athens?

Started a new job 3 months ago and whilst I was out having a few drinks with my work colleagues getting to know them better one guy told me he and his wife are expecting with their first, he said after 4 failed attempts with IVF in the uk and being told there was nothing more they could do (his wife has endometriosis) they found this place in Athens where they do the procedure slightly differently and bam 1st try and she is now 17 weeks preggers

Did not want to ask too much as not sure if I want them to know anything too personal about me at the moment, still the new girl

The main reason that i'm aware of for going to some European countries for treatment is that there is no restriction on the number of embryos that they can replace.

Sometimes it can work out cheaper too.

I'm not sure of what they'd do differently, unless they have other methods that are being researched xx

I believe the best clinic is Serum run by a lady called peny who looks at each case and is very thorough and advanced in her work.

Look on fertility friends there is a thread of people cycling at serum etc

Louise she does the hidden c test most times, advises on intralipids, vaginal Viagra and a hystos include implantation cuts too. She does alot of things I don't believe uk clinics do

The only one on there i haven't heard about is vaginal viagra, but i'm not female issue. Everything else they do in the uk definitely xx

I only know as we are looking at it for my friend as she potentially will need donor eggs and they are good with donor too and potentially she will need double donor as her dh has slight probs too.

I find it interesting reading all what different clinics can do and stories x
