cycling Genesis August 2013

....that scares me a little that there has only been a couple of FET successes. Is there anything you can advice me because I am planning on going back...i.e after your FET did you travel soon after you had your ET?etc....because I stayed a whole week after ET which I thought would help but it obviously didn't....I really don't know what the best thing to do??? Do I stay with Genesis or find sombody else. I know that USA have better stats but my partner has near enough zero sperm so I needed a clinic that could sort the sperm before injecting and because of the very low sperm was scared that if I went to the USA they would just inject and we'd find they were all girls.

Vickey, sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I didn't do a FET but a fresh transfer both times - I actually got pg both times but sadly m/c first time and am currently 10 weeks (so fingers crossed). First time I flew home the same day, and this time the next day, so not sure how much of a difference that makes. Please join and go the HT section as there are loads of girls who can offer you support and importantly advice re low sperm count etc as there are lots of supps he can take to help improve quality etc. Also if you are a member you can have a free telephone consult with Dr Potter at HRC in US so could ask him about sperm. That's not to say you won't have a success with your FET at Genesis though xx

Vickey, if he has a near zero sperm count, I am not even sure how he can possibly do a sort. If money is the #1 issue, the US is probably totally out of the question for you because it is more expensive. It takes more than one try usually. With Genesis, it usually always takes more than one try and we do not have many FETs because people transfer higher number of embryos when they go there- usually 3 and have nothing left to freeze so no FET attempt.

Their stats are around 30% tops. So, if you know that going in, it will take 2-3 tries for everyone cycling there from a statistical standpoint. You can do the same math for US clinics using the data from ASRM: Infertility, Reproduction, Menopause, Andrology, Endometriosis, Diagnosis and Treatment. The best clinics have a mid-70% chance at it working tops.

$12 in the scheme of things is nothing, honestly you won't get the info you need out here, most won't post here because of the privacy. I don't even put my signature on out here.

With FET's, have to say I don't think we have had one on the boards. Possibly someone cycling now but she has been vague about the details. We do get BFPs from people using donor eggs, so they are on a FET regime but the embryo is a fresh transfer, so it bypasses the freezing and thawing.

Most people with Genesis need 3 tries, there are people going for it try 4 or 5 and still not getting pregnant. I agree with NBP, if your partner has low sperm, then a sort is not going to work. This is the thing he will just tell everyone that it has a high chance of working and at his clinic it doesn't.

I have worries about the damage the sort does to the sperm as he does not have a high pregnancy rate on here.

I personally would do the US if there are any factors that would affect chances, like age, poor pre testing, zero sperm count....

Hi girls,

Im new at this website and forum since today and im going to Dr Savvas at Genesis clinic in Oktober! I got my blodtest today and will do scan on monday and my fiance will also leave a sperm test! Im 25 & my fiance are 27 so hopefully are age is at our side! We have a son at 2 years old and now we really want a little princess! I read alot about Dr Savvas and Genesis at forums and its seems to be little mixed feelings but still one of the best in Europe? At first I thought it would be little more easy, "how hard can it be to get pragnant that way" but you more you read it seems like most girls get pregnant 2e or 3e time..

Im sure people who do IVF with PGD dosent go online, but keep it a sercret so im sure alot more of women got pregnant than you can read about online, but still.. its a scary trip ahead of us, but also wonderful the day we have our little princess next to us!

Im from Sweden but live in Netherland, anybody els from scaninavia in here or dutch people?

Sucess to all of you and please share your story here, good as bad!
