Surrogacy in Mexico - What the i.v.F.....

The short story is: Yes, we did it. It worked. End of story. It would be easy to leave it at that, but there is a lot more to share. This might be the only option available to other Intended Parents and they should know that there are other options. I wrote my first post about going to Mexico for IVF and Surrogacy on 8/12/08. It was one line and meant as a joke, but opened up a door where I started to look into the clinic's they had and if they did surrogacy. The answer was NO!!!! And came with a lot of other Spanish words that I didn't understand. The word NO, however is universal, except I am told in Jon's world, so I kept moving forward to find a clinic that would work with us. While, the answer was NO, the price for IVF was right, so we needed to get a Doctor to say YES to surrogacy, or rather Si. So I emailed some clinic's and most didn't respond. I got one Doctor that replied to me a few times and responded to some of my question's with a JAJAJAJAJAJAJA. ...

A Little Bit Pregnant in Mexico

I have been told that you can't be a little bit pregnant - either you are pregnant or you are not pregnant - there is no in between. Well I am here to tell you that we are a little bit pregnant. Mexico IVF worked for us in the first try and we were the first couple to go there where neither of us spoke any Spanish. We had a translator from the clinic with us every step of the way. Her name was Sofia and she was great. Anyway, we have about a weeks worth of at home pregnancy tests that are showing that we are pregnant. Everyone is pushing us for our Beta numbers and we are simply not interested in them. We would prefer to wait until the first ultrasound to found out how many have stuck around and are healthy. We think that less is more this time around and that we will be fully pregnant when we enter week 38.

IVF Vacation in the Czech Republic

IVF Vacation has taken over 250 couples to the Czech Republic for a 14-21 day trip to Europe for IVF treatments. The cost including airfare appears to be around $8,000. That is with the ability to get cheap air fare from the East Coast of the United States. If you are flying from the West Coast the trip will be even more expensive. Flights to the Czech Republic can easily be $1,000 per person driving the cost even higher. A low cost option for American's is just to the South of us. Mexico IVF offers IVF at a costs very competitive with the rest of the world and had US and UK English speaking doctor's at many of the clinic's. The added bonus is that most US cities have direct flights to Mexico and the flights will only cost a few hundred dollars. Mexico IVF is helping couples work through and find the easy and best clinic's in Mexico for a Mexico IVF Vacation . We have a trip set-up in December and expect over 10 couples. The average weather in December will...

Mexico IVF Choices

You can find stories all over the internet. Intended Parents going all over the world for IVF treatment. US couples going to Mexico because it is cheaper then the US. There are many reports of people going to Mexico for treatment, but finding concrete evidence, positive success stories, and overcoming the language barrier to get answers is elusive and time consuming. Do to the high cost of infertility many Intended Parents are looking all over the world at the cost of treatments. India has been in the news as a Surrogate friendly country and has many success stories. Living in San Diego I am looking to Mexico for the options that they might provide. There are several clinic's that offer IVF in Mexico as it is a very large country and most of the cities have multiple options. We have contacted over 40 clinic's during the last 12 months to determine which will be most helpful to Intended Parent's from the USA. We have compiled all the information on the clinics we have cont...

Bad IVF doctors and how to protect yourself

A doctor in India explains below how there are BAD IVF clinics out there and how to avoid them. If there are no laws in India how do you know a clinic is doing bad things without your knowledge. It is a total leap of faith. IVF Cost is not the only thing to consider. Bad IVF doctors and how to protect yourself http://www.drmalpani.com/bad-ivf-doctors.htm There is no doubt that IVF technology represents one of modern medicine’s success stories. Using IVF , we can help couples who could never have a baby with any other technique to start their own family. However, woe betide the patient who ends up in a bad IVF clinic ! For example , one of the IVF clinics in New Delhi is owned by a skin specialist. This doctor, who is not even a gynecologist , offers IVF treatment ! Not only are your chances of getting pregnant in a bad IVF clinic very low, you also run a major risk of losing a lot of time, money and energy. Not only do you pour your money down the drain, you also end up los...

Mexico IVF and Surrogacy - A valid option

Mexico IVF and Surrogacy is a valid option for US couples. I have been looking into the cost of IVF and Surrogacy Worldwide. There are two websites that have some breakdowns available. They are ivfcost.net and at ivf cost worldwide . The real value depends on what your needs are and what part of the world you live in. Travel expenses such as Hotels and airfare really add up fast. From the USA, Mexico IVF appears to be a value price leader. The full fees for IVF and ICSI are only $4,000. Medication are in the $1,500 - $2,500 range. And there are round trip flights from almost all major US cities for around $300 round trip per person. Many of the doctors are trained in the US and many clinics will let you bring your USA surrogate down to Mexico to transfer. With a surrogate from the US you only need to leave the country once for the transfer. The baby would be born in a US hospital with your normal doctor. You can get the full treatment (IVF, ICSI, Meds, and Surrogate...
