Anyone used Dr Savvas (Genesis) for IVF/PGD advice needed p

If so would you mind telling me how many times it took you to achieve your bfp and roughly how much you paid.

From what i have read i think we could manage possibly 2 cycles so am wondering what my chances are and whether its worth it, really really want a dd and want to know i've given it my best shot but no point in spending money if still not really got a chance.

We have 3 boys (7, 4, 2) all conceived naturally without really trying, ds1 a whoopsie (but best mistake ever, we'd only just brought our house so at the time a little chaotic lol), ds2 first month before we were starting to try just by not being careful, ds3 1-2 day cut off first month of trying. Me 30 (in aug), DH 33. Anyone any idea realistically of our chances

thank you so much for any advice

We have several at this point. lisvna has a thread on the public forum and many of those gals use or are using him and we have several that only post in the Member forum that use him- in fact, we have 2 people that are mid-cycle with him right now in the Dream Member HT forum. We have Cycle Stickies for each cycler so you can follow along with their cycle and we have past Cycle Diaries too that you could browse through. But, with his cost and sperm sort that he offers, we have quite a few that have gone to him now!

Actually, 3 cyclers mid cycle!

Nbp, four of us, as far as i know: fiveboysandagirl, stargazer, creabea and me!

You pay for 2 cycles (packagedeal) ivf/pgd/spermsort 12000 euros.

so on top of that 12000 euro is travel hotels etc - what about medication - in £ does anyone have a final figure for what it cost them ? Thanks

You can do also a single cycle 6700 euros for ivf/pgd. 1200 for spermsort. 12000 euros is for 2 cycles. Medication is aprox 1000-1500 euros but it depends on your personal needs.

Lisvna; what about the money when you bought the duopack (12000 euro) and you get a OHW?

Hi

I'm 28 and had my first cycle with him in April. Transferred 3, ended up being a bfn, I have PCO (cysts on ovaries) which meant I had poor quality eggs and am currently on medication, going back in aug hopefully with better egg quality. :fingers:

Damienne you can buy a cycle single too! It's 6700 euros for ivf/pgd and 1200 euros for spermsort. This is without medication. So that's the risk in live! You have no guarantees! Ask Savvas how he deals with that.

Min I wish you good luck! I know you are in good hands!

I'm waiting for your scan, really hope it's a little princess...how is your pregnancy going? Any sickness?

Min: No sicknessat all. Don't think it's a little princess my hope is gone but I do hope on a little miracle but it's just wishful thinking hihihihi.

Next time I will only put back xx to make 100 percent sure our family will be complete with a little girl (if I'm so lucky i will succeed again).

WOULD APPREICATE ANY MORE INFO LADIES!

sorry to jump on here but does dr savvas do all your pre care or do you have to have that before you go only im uk and its against the law and mega expensive here for the pre car thanks ladies if possible can you pm me or write here your stories on what you did step by step im so afraid ill miss something that needs doing thanks again ladies

Hi, just read the above and my situation is that I have completed all the tests and should be going to Cyprus in mid November.
Is there anyone else going at this time?
Just wondering if anyone has any advise...
...Hotels, flights, whether you took your children with you and how that worked out?
Any advise would be much appreciated!

You can take the childeren with you... there is a tv and its just for 3 times at the clinic...
I stayed the first time in Paphos and thats a 1uur from the clinic and the next times i stay in Limasol (golden arches hotel)

Good luck!!

Hi, Id recommend paying the small charge for becoming a full member as there is tons of info in the private international section about travelling, fee's, meds etc. Im going the end of the year and am having scans done in the Uk first with babybond, and pre-tests through privatebloodtests, then flying out on day 7 or 8 of my cycle so Savvas can do follicle tracking and check my meds are ok, staying for 15 or 16 nights and taking our children too. My OH will look after them while I pop to the clinic, app. There is a bakery there where he can take them for a snack etc. Or he can stay at the villa while I go. He will drop in his sample one day as only staying half an hour away from the clinic in pissouri bay. I would recommend becoming a dream member though as I don't post much in this bit for privacy as no one I know is aware of what we are doing

When you received treatment and PDG was carried out were checks carried out on the chromosomes to preventing the transmission of genetic disorders in addition to determining the gender?

Genesis test 5 chromosomes, 1 being gender.

They do 5 probe fish; x,y, 18,21,23 if I'm correct.

Sorry I'm a novice on here. What does nbp mean? Just want to clarify as I think it means that you all were pregnant after going to Genesis in Limasol, Cyprus.

NBP is me!

We have had very poor results on here with genesis cycles. 10% success at best. All details are in the private/member forum.

Eta- it's actually 12% for the women that have posted on genderdreaming

And if you mean BFP then its Big fat positive and a bfn is big fat negative (pregnancy tests)

Nbp I think this statement sounds a bit unfair and not sure if that is a true statistic? I have been going through this process since rugby team, who was a one hit wonder. And every time I have been out, there has been a bfp for my bfn. I would imagine gennesis reflects the average sats for ivf.

It took rugbyteam 3 cycles at genesis to get her baby girl!

I'm sorry if I sound harsh. I am not sure when rugby team cycled but I'm happy to add anyone to the BFP list.

I am reporting what we have seen on here and we do the same for all clinics.

There were 28 BFN cycles from Genesis on here in 2012. 1 gender opposite and 5 BFPs. Thats 12% success on here.

If there are other BFPs, we are more than happy to include them but it is simply reporting facts and that's it.

So there were 2 cycles that were BFN there in 2012 and one with the BFP? Were they all fresh cycles or FETs? I am happy to add the 3 cycles to the summary page.

Btw i made a mistake they test x,y, 13,18 and 21 (so not 23)

Savvas make also microsort or only pgd?

He does a "sort" but it is not Microsort.

Thanks for your kindly reply! Do you know what is the difference from sort and microsort? Is it possible to make only IUI?

A question again... how I have to do to access at private/member forum?

You become a Dream Member- there is a pinkish button at the top left of the page that says Become a Dream Member- click on that, sign up and access is automated- you may need to refresh the screen or log out/back in but it works automatically!

No, there is no IUI option anymore. IVF only. Microsort was a specific way of sorting the X an Y sperm using dye and laser technology. There are other doctors that use a "sort" that is mostly like Ericcson.

Dr Savvas has its own sort it's not Ericsson it's something else. You can ask if he wants to do iui but I doubt he will offer it because succes rates are very low.

Hi NBP, just reading some old stuff to collect info and in this post you refer to a summary page for BFNs and BFPs-where is that? Many thanks!

Hi,
I'm cycling with Savvas at Genesis in August. I think I've just seen someone else doing the same. We are going for 3 weeks and having a family holiday. Staying for 1 week on north coast, then 2 weeks NW of Limassol. Trying for boy to add to 3 girls. Disappointed with your stats, but couldn't afford to go to US at this short notice.

In the cycling at Genesis sticky at the international section you can see stats and other important stuff. You can also chat with other Genesis girls!
