What should foreign couples know before starting IVF treatment?
Before starting IVF treatment, foreign couples should be aware of the following:
- Understand the IVF process and timeline: It’s essential to have a clear understanding of the various steps involved in IVF, such as ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and the potential need for multiple cycles.
- Prepare for the financial commitment: IVF can be a significant financial investment, and foreign couples should research the costs, payment options, and any potential insurance coverage or financial assistance programs available.
- Seek support and counselling: Navigating the emotional and psychological aspects of infertility and IVF can be challenging, especially for foreign couples. Seeking support from a counsellor or support group can be invaluable.
- Communicate with the fertility clinic: Foreign couples should proactively communicate with the fertility clinic, including any language or cultural barriers, to ensure a smooth and successful treatment experience.
