Hi,
I am planning to travel to Turkey around mid August, but I am still in two minds about which clinic to use, mostly because they are telling me quite different things about when I should be starting treatment with them.
I live in Central America at the moment, but am from UK originally, so Turkey is still the most financially viable option for me (as I earn low developing country wages) even though return flights are expensive. But this means I have to do everything in one trip.
My Ob-Gyn here recommended I go on the pill prior to travelling, which I did. My current pack will finish on 11th August.
The two clinics I am in touch with are telling me different things about when I should be there for which is confusing me big-time.
One is telling me I should go on second day of my period. I told them usually when I take the pill I don't really get much of a period, so that is hard to tell.
The other is telling me to be there within 2 days of taking my last pill.
Those are potentially quite different dates and affect my flights! Based on advice of the first one, I booked my flight to arrive on 15th August.
But I really want input on if there is a "correct" answer in terms of when I should first be at the clinic...or are they both potentially correct??
I really can't afford (financially or emotionally) to miss out on effective treatment cos of date mixups...but also can't afford to stay unnecessary days in Turkey.
Advice very welcome!
NOTE: I am 36yrs 9 months, never been pregnant, no contraceptive (till now!) for 5 years, all my tests normal, BMI 27, husband low sperm count and motility probably due to epilepsy medications.
