IVF Treatment
Abroad, couples can receive all-encompassing reproductive health services; these include IVF, ICSI, IUI, PGD/PGS genetic screening of embryos, male infertility treatments, egg donors, and surrogacy services, all provided by the highest-quality fertility medical teams. Many individuals face substantial financial barriers to fertility treatment. For example, an IVF cycle with ICSI in the U.S. will cost anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 while the same IVF cycle with ICSI at an internationally accredited fertility clinic abroad could cost as little as $2,500 to $5,500. Abroad, international fertility centers provide larger donor databases, reduced wait times, time-lapse embryonic imaging, and multi-lingual fertility program managers to help guide patients from initial consultations to confirming pregnancy. All patients report receiving better communication, personalization, and accessibility when undergoing fertility treatment abroad compared to their experiences at home. When choosing an internationally located IVF center, it is essential to first determine the quality of the IVF laboratory. It is also very important to evaluate the level of experience of the reproductive endocrinologist. Therefore, you should always check a fertility center's live-birth rate (and not just clinical pregnancy rates), the laboratory accreditation, and the qualifications of the embryologists. The emotional support and well-being of patients, along with a patient's ability to adhere to recommended healthy lifestyle habits during the IVF cycle, as well as adhering to the fertility doctor's stimulation protocol recommendations, are all critical components of successful fertility treatment.
Surrogacy
Surrogacy is an option for people and couples wanting to have a child but cannot become pregnant due to a health condition or another circumstance. A surrogate will carry and deliver a child for the intended parent(s), and the entire process is monitored closely by experienced fertility doctors and medical professionals. Advanced reproductive technologies (ART) such as IVF, are commonly used to produce embryos that will be placed into the surrogate's uterus. Through CureMeAbroad, patients can find and work with trustworthy fertility centers and structured surrogacy programs in top international medical travel locations. The fertility centers and surrogacy programs offer programs and services that focus on ethical practices, and comply with all applicable laws. Additionally, patients are able to work with one person throughout the program, and will receive personalized guidance and support during all stages of their treatment, from first consultation and treatment planning, through to pregnancy and delivery.
