If you're struggling to conceive and on the path to parenthood, looking to have a baby and are considering, planning or about to have fertility treatment like IVF, ICSI, Egg Donation, Sperm donation, Embryo donation treatment in Europe and in places like Spain, Greece and Czech Republic then you're in the right place.
I'm Emma Haslam and since the birth of our son in 2018, I have made it my mission to make fertility treatment more transparent, accessible, supported and affordable. I now help people around the world just like you to find a safe, best fit clinic and navigate fertility treatment in Europe. And since 2019 I have helped over 200 people around the world to make informed decisions that are right for them and to have fertility treatment in Europe and achieve their dreams of starting or expanding their families.
Feeling overwhelmed by fertility treatment and IVF or donor IVF in Europe
Planning and having fertility treatment anywhere, including your home country, can feel really daunting, after all, it is A LOT to deal with. However, when you are considering going abroad for fertility treatment, for a lot of people (including myself back then) it feels all-consuming, totally overwhelming and frankly terrifying. This is often the case with big life things that we haven’t done before and that have potential risks and benefits attached to the decision made on where to have your treatment. No pressure! Hmmm.
Because going abroad for fertility treatment like IVF or donor IVF in Europe can feel so overwhelming and not easy to understand how things work I have written a list of some suggestions to help.
Get a dedicated notebook, or a Your IVF abroad planner and journal to document your research and fertility treatment abroad journey. It will also give you hints and tips about having treatment abroad to help you as you go. You can journal your thoughts and feelings along the way, and it will give you a place to reflect back following your fertility treatment.
Do your research and due diligence to find a destination and clinic that is safe and meets your needs. I have written other posts in more detail , which you can check out for more information.
After finding your best fit safe fertility clinic abroad, agree on what your treatment plan is, what type of treatment you are having for example, ICSI, IVF, own egg, IVF donor egg, IUI, Egg freezing, what your protocol looks like, costs for treatment and when you plan to get started.
Get your fertility medication organised. This is something many people, including myself, have found difficult and stressful when trying to make arrangements using an overseas prescription. IVF medication can also be really expensive, and since Brexit, there have been lots of medication shortages too. It can also take a lot of time and back and forth when things are out of stock, or when medications have a different name in your country, causing stress and paying more than you should for your medication. If you are struggling and would like an introduction to a fully registered specialist online pharmacist to get a no obligation quote, at a competitive price and with delivery options for most places worldwide, then I can introduce you to one.
