How to Pick the Right Fertility Clinic for You?

Mostly we choose physician we are comfortable with. Generally we make our choice on the basis of others recommendations including our family, relatives and friends. Sometimes we follow our insurance carriers to choose who we can go to. But choosing a fertility clinic is probably the most important health choice you will ever make.

Today more than 10% of reproductive age people are facing the trauma of infertility and those who had the treatment previously are the great source of information and at the same time it is important to realize that keeping this matter private is impossible and unhealthy as well. But the saddest part is that people who are infertile or had infertility treatment don’t educate and share the info with people around them because of their own reasons.

Going through infertility diagnosis can be scary and you will need emotional support of your closest ones. You can ask them which clinic is good for you or which clinic they used. In addition you can go through online resources providing you detail information about the several clinics. You can join online infertility community especially build for providing detailed info on infertility related issues. They would recommend you clinic on the basis of their research and knowledge.

While choosing for right clinic, don’t forget to ask about physician. He or she should be accredited with National Society of Reproductive Medicine that ensures he/she has completed a continual education of certain hours for the same. It also ensures that they are familiar with current and advanced infertility medicines and treatments and also inspected on a regular basis.

Don’t make your decision with the clinics success rate. What? Seems crazy right? Well use success rate as a tool for making decision not as a decision factor. It’s true that statistics are flat and for your age 61% pregnancy rate seems decent. But the problem is that clinic is not required to report the diagnosis of these patients, they only report their age. So what if your diagnoses are not that much straight forward than theirs that makes pregnancy difficult.

Several clinics are there that knows people use success rate as their decision making factor and that’s why they always keep their success rate high. Remember there are lots of other factors which are necessary to consider while picking right clinic for you.

Pick out two or more clinics from the list searched and compare their services, physician qualification & experience, success rate and other medical facilities. You can interview the physician and never hesitate to ask your queries. Ask for the cost list for all treatments and what are the tests they will perform to diagnose the issue and many more. Other small things also need consideration such as do the clinic staff makes you feel comfortable, or was your phone answered when you called up for scheduling an appointment etc.

Being an infertile is frustrated feeling and going through it is surely hard but with the support of right team and physician your journey can be less threatening.
