Sydney IVF Vs IVF Australia - your stories?

[tassiecreature]

Hi

i am 28 my hubby 30 we are with IVF aust Dr Rob La Houd could not find a nicer guy
since we live 7 hours from sydney in country NSW he organised all our test before we went for our first visit to save us going back for unnecessary appt and saving us money. I have PCOS and endometrosis - he gave us all the options from clomid to IUI ivf and ICSI explained all options and help us make our decision not judgemental and happy to answer questions and dosen't make you feel stupid when you ask.

The nurses are great so helpful and you can call them anytime if they are with a patient you just have to leave a message and they will phone you straight back.

I went down to sydney for work and even though i was not starting my cycle then i was able to pick up all my medication to save me a trip i do most of my test where i live and go down to the clinic when i am ready for the harvest

I looked around before we went there and it is considerably cheaper than the others

good luck with your decision - i guess you just have to go with your gut from reading the post they both have their pros and cons

Hi,I went with IVF Australia Dr Graeme Hughes. He has been doing it for over 20 years and really knows his stuff. He is also very positive.
I was with them for over a year and generally think they are good. I feel that most of my problems would be to do with how I was feeling at the time, not how they made me feel. Sometimes I did feel like a number but then I think it was because I was becoming bitter about the whole thing so would have felt tlike that everywhere I suppose?

Good luck anyway

Hi,

I just wanted to add my comments about IVFA. I am also with Dr Robert La Hood and can confirm he was such a nice Dr to deal with. He explained everything in simple terms, gave me all my options, suggested a recommended course and asked me my decision. I felt in control of the process the whole way. However once I started my cycle (I am on my first IUI) I have dealt only with the nurses and they are lovely ladies that are alsways welcoming and friendly.

So far i am very happy with IVFA. However, that being said, I am aware that SIVF are a lot more expensive. I think it might have something to do with a better success rate - correct me if Im wrong though.

HI Everyone!

I saw Dr Bowman at Sydney IVF
and
I saw Dr Lahoud at IVF Australia

I found Dr Lahoud very easy to talk to and willing to
answer any Questions....
Has anyone had successful pregnancy with either of those Drs?
