Choosing an IVF center should be based on more than their success rates. Many patients assume that they should go to the IVF center with the best success rates. Although a reported high IVF success rate is important, an infertility center with a good track record with patients with similar fertility conditions as your own is even more important (to you).
I recommend that you choose an IVF center that is not only medically successful but also successful in supporting you emotionally through the process of infertility treatments. From the time you first step foot into the IVF center to the time that you are pregnant, the center’s staff, nurses, technicians, and physicians should be helpful, understanding, and supportive. I also recommend that you choose a physician that you trust and is willing to answer all of your questions in an honest manner.
I encourage patients to ask questions when assessing whether or not a fertility clinic is right for them. So, choosing an IVF center that is right for you is not just a matter of bottom line numbers, but whether or not an infertility center can support you during the difficult journey from infertility to parenthood.
