If he is HIV positive he needs to let his partner know, its unfair to keep such information from the partner. Honestly is the only way to go in this situation, thier is no cure for HIV and he should not gamble with the partners life.
You may want repost this question in the health section and not under this IVF thread as this is an HIV issue and not an IVF issue

any center that promises anything above 45% success rate is lying!!! beware

@sofa-dj
it is very sad when centers post these high success rates to lure people into their center, its really unfair and their should be regulations inplaced so people dont get fooled. But another thing to consider is that a center can legitametly have a 45% success rate of "implantation" but the rate of a successful pregnancy and live birth can be significantly lower.

OMG reading this makes me so SAD. how can people be looked down upon for choosing IVF. Me i have told my hubby if we try 3 more months nothing, straight to medication and IVF not time wasting. Na God give the doctors the brain to help people like us.

I wonder what there will say about my friends going to sperm bank as Mr. Right has not been found

@halfcurrent, please i would like to have the contact of the herbal Dr. (Iya alagbo). How do i get in touch with you so i can have the contact. Thank you

oh. i got the pnone number of the iya alagbo from the past post. Thank you, i will definitely consult her

All those who consulted Iya Alagbo, please we need your feed back o! Spread the good news if any and your experience as well.

This is specifically for AKIIKA. Could you please PM for a better discussion regarding the Fertility stuff? I live in the United States as well, Georgia precisely. Thanks.

Pls someone should kindly tell me how much Georges charge for their IVF as well as IUI PROCEDURE

IVF is between 900k and 950k including the drugs. It actually depends on your negotiating skills sha and your age. Don't know what they charge for IUI, you can walk in there just and ask or call Dr Emeka 08032011536. They are very good.

..

The cost of ivf in Nigeria can be reduced considerably in Nigeria if only practitioners discuss natural cycle ivf as well as minimal stimulation ivf with patients--remember to always ask your ivf physician for these options

That is a great suggestion but what do you mean by natural cycle IVF, are you referring to the eggs (follicules) a woman produces monthly without the aid of fertility or ovulation drugs?

A natural IVF cycle is way more cheaper than the regular IVF. A woman who has absolutely no problem ovulating or creating mature follicles but still has difficulty conceiving should consider a natural IVF cycle where no medication is given or used to induce follicle growth or ovulation.

Thanks psalms, In actuality the cost of a month IVF drugs is about 600 USd per cycle but in this Nigeria they really hack up the price.

the cost of ivf is between 650,000 to 700,000 naira. call 08089195036, 08038183212 to enjoy free consultation. the success rate is high.

Nice thread and thanks to all for your useful suggestions and contributions to my question.
Does anyone know of any nice, discrete and moderate hotel or guest house In Lagos where one could stay for about 2 - 3KS to carry out the IV procedure; my friend and the wife are not leaving in Lagos. preferred location will be VI or Ikeja GRA.

i

The cost of IUI is #50,000 Naira and IVF #250,000 Naira @ University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH),Benin city incase you choose to go that route.

Champs, the cost u quoted for UBTH ivf sounds very reasonable but how is their success rate and is there a long waiting list?

@Omofranca, The success rate is on the same level with Omni's,Georges and Bridges of this world. Success depends on your fertility issues, I don't really knw about the waiting list. The price is reasonable compare to 800-1million naira quoted by those private clinics in Lagos. I am preparing for my 1st IUI hopefully next week. BTW, I am under the unexplained fertility group. Lots of Baby dust.

Champs my sister thanks for this information. Please keep us posted oo. Good luck with it from next week.

My relation who needs help with pregnancy.

I just checked the webpage of IVF and Assisted Reproduction at UBTH.

Please while you are there, help find out if they also offer sperm donor service.

As for IUI, do they do washing/concentration of sperm as part of IUI?

Thanks and good luck.

I will help you inquire about the donor fluid when i go for my first follicular scan next week. As per the IUI procedure,I will be able to update you next week once mine is done. You will pay for the medication separately e.g Clomid, HCG trigger injection etc. Hope everything goes well for me.

Thank Champs,
It would be nice if you could find those things out and the ones I am writing below.
Well her main signs (visible on her) is that she's overweight, has some fibroids and has some virilisation (some hair growth/beard on her jaw).

From my observation: everything points to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I don't think she has been diagnosed with that yet.
She only told me doctors said she had some blockage in her ovarian tube. I Am trying to help but she's not very open about things (you know how sensitive people can be about fertility problems). As a man, I find a bit difficult asking about her periods etc (as PCOS can prevent ovulation or make it irregular).
So if she's not ovulating or if she does but cannot get egg through ovarian/fallopian tube to the womb, then IUI alone may not do it, so that IVF + ET  may be needed. 
Please help me get as much information  as you can get. I will start quizzing her more now too.

Thanks.

Your explanation is textbook stuff. If you're not a medical person, then have certainly done a good research!

I live away from Naija and it is exactly how it's done here, just like you explained but I don't know how it is at home, since only a few years back UBTH didn't have Assisted Reproduction unit.

As for donor fluid, she doesn't need it (her man has fathered a child recently). But a friend in Lagos might do. But he's so deeply pentecostal that broaching such an idea to him might seem like lack of faith. lol. His former wife left after 6 yrs or so of marriage. I learnt she now has a baby.
He has remarried since a few years now, still no baby.

Thanks very much for the price breakdown. She (relation) did all the scans years back (but new ones will be needed of course) but never followed up the medical aspect fully. It's always go to this pastor or another. Faith without work is nothing. I tire my sister. But I cannot be tired. I even discussed surrogacy (out my own despiration to help before too late) with her but also not fully co-operative.

Thanks for your help.
