Why Do We Choose To Use Fertility Clinics?

I was debating on how to start this article because I didn't want to start something with a negative connotation. I wanted to discuss with other Lesbian couples how to know when it's the right time to switch from one Fertility Clinic to another.

Let's start off by talking about why we choose, as Lesbian Couples, to go to Fertility Clinics. We go for these reasons:

1). It's a sterile environment with doctors and nurses who are trained in how to do IUI and ICI procedures. I, myself, do not feel comfortable using a technique on my partner in the comforts of our home because our home, no matter how clean, is not a sterile environment. So I'm willing to pay someone to do that service for me.

2). We use sperm samples that we buy from places like California Cryobank or Fairfax Cryobank and the like....those samples require thawing and preparing. I am not a trained scientist and I am no expert at doing those types of things. Also, how would I be sure that CCB is sending me a good sample if not for the expertise of these labs in letting us know if we had a good sample with good motility and live sperm swimming around in our sample? So I'm willing to pay someone to do that service for me.

3). Fertility Drugs....when you use drugs like Clomid or Letrozole, you produce more eggs, giving you more of a chance of insemination, as opposed to just relying on the one egg you produce naturally every month. So I'm willing to pay someone to provide that service for me.

4). Fertility Clinics have ultrasound devices which can look and see if you've produced more than one follicle and what size those follicles are and at least give me a better timing of when it's good to actually inseminate my partner. So, again, I'm willing to pay someone to do that service for me.

5). Finally, if there is some type of fertility issue, such as Endometriosis, bad ovaries or something that might prevent you from getting pregnant, that can be diagnosed and taken care of so that you have more of a chance of success. So, I am willing to pay someone to do that service for me.

For those reasons I listed above is why 99% Lesbian Couples seek out the expertise of a Fertility Clinic. What we don't want is for a doctor at a clinic to decide for us what service they think we should have as a couple. I have found in my experience so far, most Fertility Clinics push you toward having IVF which is a very expensive procedure. With no more of a guarantee than if you had an IUI done. But it's more expensive so that's what the doctors push you toward.

If you feel that your doctor keeps pushing you toward those procedures and you do not want to do it, then say so and be willing to leave that clinic if the doctor's persistence continues. Fertility Clinics all have different procedures they use to try to help couples get pregnant, but you should never feel bullied to do something you cannot afford and are not willing to participate in.

We met with our 2nd Fertility clinic the other day, and after talking to him for an hour, he had already decided that we need to do IVF. So again we find ourselves having to explain to another doctor the only reason we sought out the help of a fertility clinic.

Not all women have fertility issues. And those of us who do not are willing to take the time to do the procedures we choose, IUI, to start our family. No matter who you ask, only 20-25% of women get pregnant within the first 6 IUI tries....that number increases to 60% for the next 12-18 tries. The numbers are no different for IVF procedures, but the cost certainly is more expensive. But doctors will try to convince you that it's a much higher rate, when in reality it is not. As couples, you must decide which procedure fits your budget.

If you think you can afford a procedure like IVF, by all means try it. But if you cannot and you need to be more responsible with your money, then IUI is your best bet and patience will be your companion. As with all InVitro Fertilization techniques it takes time. It is a very rare occurrence that you will get pregnant on the first try.

I really think doctors should stop pushing patients into costly procedures, because the only person it helps is the doctor and his or her bank account. Now if a woman truly has some fertility issues, IVF might be a solution. But I've talked to women who do have some issues and IVF was no help or guarantee for them either. Every woman is an island. She is different and unique in her own way. You cannot use a cookie-cutter plan on every woman.

But please realize it is important for you as a patient to stay vigilant in your knowledge of what goes on and stand fast in your solutions for your own fertility. We only use these fertility clinics to help us in this process. It is important to communicate with your doctor, but you do not have to live as if his word is bond. You can question his diagnosis and you do have a choice. You can say NO. And as a professional he must respect you and move on.

Why do we use the fertility clinics?

I was debating how to start this article, because I don't want to start something with negative connotation. I wanted to discuss with other Lesbian couples how to know when is the best moment to switch from single fertility Clinic to another.

Let's start with the talking about Why we can make, as Lesbian couples, fertility clinics. Be adding these reasons:

1.) is a sterile environment with doctors and nurses who are adequately trained in how to do IUI procedures and ICI. I, myself, do not feel comfortable using the techniques on my partner in the amenities of the House because the House, regardless of which clean, sterile environment. So I'm willing to pay someone to do this service for me.

2.) we use sperm samples which we buy from places such as California Cryobank or Fairfax Cryobank and the like ... these samples require defrosting and preparation. I'm not a scientist trained and I'm not an expert on the implementation of these kinds of things. Furthermore, how can I be sure that the CCB sends me good sample if not expertise of these laboratories in letting us know if we were a good sample with good motility of sperm swimming around and live in the sample? So I'm willing to pay someone to do this service for me.

3 Drug fertility.) ... using drugs like Clomid or Letrozole, produce more eggs, you have more chance of insemination, contrary to what we have to rely on only one egg you create naturally every month. So I'm willing to pay someone to provide service for me.

4) clinics fertility have ultrasonic devices which can look like and whether it was produced more than one disability and what size of these follicles are, and at least gives me a better time when it is in fact inseminate my partner. So again, I'm willing to pay someone to do this service for me.

5). Finally, if there is some type of problem, such as endometriosis, ovaries bad or something can prevent getting pregnant, which can be diagnosed and care so that the user has more chances of success. So I want someone to do this service for me to pay.

For these reasons that I mentioned above, the reasons for this is 99% of Lesbian Couples seeking fertility Clinic experience. What we want is not in the hospital by a medical practitioner to decide on what services should we feel we have as few. I found in my experience so far, most fertility clinics pushing you towards having IVF, which is a very costly procedure. With a maximum guarantee if you had to IUI done. But it is expensive to run so what doctors pushing you towards.

If you feel that your doctor keeps track of these procedures may be pushing towards it and you don't want to do this, then say so and be willing to leave the clinic, if you're still keeping a doctor. Fertility clinics, all have different procedures, used for helping couples get pregnant, but should never feel bullied something cannot afford, not participate in.

We met with our 2nd clinic fertility second day, and tells him for an hour, had already decided that we need to IVF. So again, are we to explain to another doctor, the only reason that we can help your fertility clinic.

Not all women have fertility problems. And those of us who do not, are willing to spend the time to do procedures that we choose, IUI, to start our family. Regardless of who you ask, only 20-25% of women get pregnant during the first 6 tries IUI .... the number be increased to 60% for the next 12-18 tries. The numbers do not vary for IVF procedures, but the cost is certainly more expensive. But we will try to convince doctors that is significantly higher, when in fact it is not. As couples, decide which procedure to match the budget.

If you think you can afford IVF procedure as, by all means try it. If, however, there can and should be more responsible with money, then IUI is best and patience will be your assistant. From all the in-vitro diagnostic fertilisation techniques needed time. It is a very rare occurrence, which will get pregnant on the first attempt.

Really I think doctors should stop, pushing patients to procedures for the costly, because the only person who can help it – doctor and his or her bank account. Now if the woman is truly certain issues of fertility, IVF may be the solution. But I said to the women who have problems and IVF was either does not support or guarantee for them. Every woman is an island. She's different and unique in its own way. You cannot use the obcinacza plan for every woman.

But we feel that it is important that you as a patient to stay vigilant in your knowledge at walking and replace a rapid solution for their own fertility. We use only the klinik fertility help us in this process. It is important to communicate with your doctor, but you don't have to live as though the word is bond ". A question and you have the choice of the diagnosis. You can say no. I as a customer you must observe and move.

Hi I'm Sheila m. Robinson, the creator of this Web site. My partner and I use the technique of in-vitro diagnostic fertilisation by making efforts to have the baby in the past 12 months. I decided to write about our experience in efforts to help others who want to go through a similar process. Hopefully, it will help us understand better the learned to travel.
