7 Factors To Consider Before Choosing A Fertility Clinic For Your IVF Treatment by fusionnest: 7:52am On Feb 10, 2018
Choosing a fertility clinic for your IVF/ART Treatment is an important decision to make, one not to be made in a hurry and is most times dependent on what your fertility needs are. It can be a somewhat tasking decision when there are a lot of clinics to choose from or claiming one feat to the other.

The 7 factors listed below are factors you need to consider in order to avoid the usual "Did i knows" and possible failures that accompanies most fertility treatment and choose the clinic that best fits your desired fertility needs.

1) Their Professional Team.
This is a very important factor. The whole fertility professional team should be taken into consideration, these includes the Doctors, Fertility Nurses, Embryologists and their customer service team etc.
Do they have a team that is trained in any of these areas of medicine?
• Obstetrics.
• Gynecology
• Reproductive endocrinology
• Infertility.
etc

The specialists should be trained, board legible although not absolutely important but if possible, they should be certified also in the sub-specialty of reproduction and fertility. That will give you a bit of certainty that you are in the hands of professionals that knows the onions of their job.

It’s also important to take out a little time and research individual team members of your intended clinic, so you can be sure of their pedigree which will in turn impact on your confidence to entrust your fertility treatment in their hands.


2) Customer Service.
Following on the heels of the clinic team, is their customer service.
• How do they attend to their clients?
• Any proper follow up during and after treatment be it success or failure?

A lot goes into fertility treatment both before and after that involves lots of emotion and requires a professional touch.You need to be sure from the word go that they are professionals from the very onset both pre and post treatment period.

3) Accessibility.
Is the clinic accessible? both in terms of its closeness to you and your ability to access any member of their team that matters to your treatment.

Are you able to reach the people that matters in your treatment via phone, WhatsApp, email and their social media channels?
How quickly do they respond to your questions?

Personally, visiting the clinic gives you more information that is not available online or on paper, and also allows you interact with staff members to have an idea of how they treat their clients.

The nearness of the clinic to you, is very important due to the fragility of your treatment, you don't need a clinic that's too far from your place of abode.

4) What does treatment entail.
Fertility treatment involves the use of different procedures and what is called protocols. So, you need to find out which procedures are available to you in the clinic you are considering and also the range of infertility remedies.

You also need to know the kind of tests that are done there and the kind of drugs been used.

Fertility treatment can involve use of strong hormonal drugs and can also be an emotional period. Consider how far you are willing to go with the procedure.

At the end of the day most of the details above requires you to conduct a meticulous research on your own on all that is involve in the entire IVF treatment process.

This is absolutely necessary, but being at the right clinic with the right mix of professionals can make up for that.

5) What is the Cost.
IVF treatment can be quite expansive and treatment might be done more than once before success is recorded.
So, Knowing the cost of treatment ahead of time is important so you put the whole picture together and weigh your option.


6) What is their success rate?
IVF treatment success rate is an important factor in choosing the right fertility clinic for your fertility needs, but this is a difficult factor as most clinic will inflate their success rate just as so to look successful.

Other clinics do also decline clients of a certain age so as to maintain the success rate they have based on a particular age group they accept for treatment.

We all known that IVF is not 100% it ranges between 40-60% and its dependent on many factors. But still every good Fertility clinic needs a semblance of result which shows there's one or two things that particular center is doing right.

So, It is important you do your own independent investigation as to ascertain the success rate of the clinic you intend to undergo your fertility treatment, and also try to know the underlining factors that drives the success rate.

7) Other Factors:
Are there age limit considerations at the clinic? some clinic doesn’t accept a certain age bracket so as to maintain their success percentage.

In conclusion, these are but few factors you need to consider in your search for a Fertility clinic.
it’s very important you do your homework properly before registering to undertake a Fertility treatment at any center as the long can be tidious,long and involves your whole being.

The main issue for me is COST and the stress of failed treatment......

OP's in this buhari's time how do couples who genuinely needs IVF to carry their own babies deal with cost?

Are they alternative ways to fund the treatment here in Nigeria?

What of the fact that treatment is not even guaranteed...how do they deal with failed treatment and the lure to undergo another cycle of treatment at another cost?

Nice write up though

IVF Treatment is never guaranteed and most IVF Centers do explain this part to their clients to better prepare them for the challenge ahead
