What to Consider When Researching IVF and Fertility Clinics

GoStork helps you match with your ideal clinics, based on their experience and success rates matched to your personal journey (including age and services needed), as well as the clinic’s location, costs, patient ratings and reviews, doctors experience and more. While you can sort and select based on what is important to you - below outlines what many fertility patients look for when researching their options.

Experience and Success Rates

What are the success rates for patients with similar cases to yours – including your age and the fertility services you’ll need? This data can help you get a better idea, for example, of your chance of success per IVF cycle or embryo transfer. We make this part easier than ever before, as we share each clinic’s most relevant success rates based on your personal journey ahead, taking both your age and the services you need into consideration. Only GoStork personalizes success rates in this way – providing a much more accurate picture than the more general success rates you may see published elsewhere.

Doctor’s certifications and experience

Are the doctors at the clinics you’re considering board-certified? Where did they attend medical school? The experience, education, published research and even languages spoken are included for the doctors in each clinic’s profile in our marketplace.

Patient rating and reviews

Look at past patients’ thoughts on their experiences to gain insight into the fertility clinic, its practices and how welcoming it may feel.

Costs

We offer unprecedented cost transparency! You’ll see the costs for the services you need included in each clinic profile on GoStork – helping you to financially plan ahead.

Location

A clinic close to you, or potentially your egg donor or gestational carrier, can help you reduce costs on your journey. If location is not that important, you may want to consider a clinic with specific experience dealing with cases similar to yours as a higher priority than location.

A Step-by-Step Guide to the IVF Process

1 Suppressing the Menstrual Cycle

The natural menstrual cycle is suppressed through injectable medications to help make treatment more effective.

Timeline: 10-12 days

2 Ovarian Stimulation

You (or your egg donor) is prescribed self-injectable follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to boost egg supply. This is followed by a final hormone injection to help the eggs mature.

Timeline: 2 weeks

3 Egg Retrieval

A light sedative is used to retrieve the eggs.

A 30-minute procedure and 30-40 minutes in recovery.

4 Fertilization

The eggs are first examined for maturity and quality and then fertilized with sperm from the partner or a donor. The fertilized eggs are then allowed to grow in the laboratory.

Timeline: About 6 days

5 Embryo Culture

The embryo is monitored to ensure it’s growing well. A number of tests may be offered at this stage: PGT-A, which provides information on the embryo’s genetic health, and PGT-M which tests for inherited disorders caused by mutations in a single gene. After the biopsy, the embryos are frozen. You can learn more about genetic testing in our helpful article.

Timeline: Test results take around 1-3 weeks to arrive.

6 Embryo Transfer

The embryo is transferred into the womb using a thin catheter. No sedative is necessary for this step. Remaining embryos can be frozen (cryopreserved) for future transfers.

20-30 minute procedure, followed by a 2-hour rest time.

7 The Two Week Wait

Some clinics suggest a regular at-home pregnancy test two weeks after the embryo transfer, while others request that you go in for a more accurate blood test. If the IVF cycle has been successful, ultrasound scans are carried out in the following weeks, after which you will follow regular antenatal care.

Timeline: 2 weeks (and hopefully a successful pregnancy: 9 more months!)

Testimonials

We’re thrilled to have helped these amazing intended parents on their journey!

Gary S

I wish we had found GoStork at the start of our search process for egg donors, surrogacy agencies and IVC clinics. We spent months of manually searching and vetting clinics and agencies on our own. All of the information we wanted to start our journey was already compiled in GoStork, which could have saved us so much time. Also so many agencies or clinics charged us hundreds of dollars each to introductory calls, and those would’ve been completely avoided with GoStork. I definitely recommend that Intended Parents at the start of their journey use GoStork.

I’d spent literally 60-80 hours searching for donor of my race. When I found GoStork in the middle of researching all night, I bolted up wide awake - I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were so many more options in one place than I found anywhere else.

Before GoStork I had to maintain and manage 10+ intended parent accounts at various donor agencies to search for right donor. GoStork has made my searching and communicating with agencies so much easier with just one account to maintain. It’s brilliant!

I can’t thank you enough for your services as we never would have known about our egg donor had you not offered a website that shows donors from so many different agencies. You guys have an amazing thing going and are helping so many people connect with donors! Keep up the great work. I was also very impressed that when I emailed your “[email protected]” account, I heard back from your CEO directly.

GoStork is a exceptional platform for intended parents in 2020 and beyond. We really loved how the portal brings ease to finding resources to a process that is very complex. Founder Eran was extremely helpful and is a genuinely kind person helping with all questions concerning the egg and surrogate agencies on the portal. Thank you GoStork !

You guys are great! GoStork was the easiest site to use, really consumer friendly, and simple to navigate to find surrogacy agencies that were a good fit. I also found a lot of great egg donors on your platform - it was everything I needed in one place.
