Hello to my to my fellow expats. I just wanted to share my IVF journey with you.
My husband and I has been married for 3 years,but we had an infertility issues ,so we have decided
to consult a Gynecologist , but she referred us to an IVF specialist doctor.
After browsing the internet , I found an IVF hospital in Sharjah,we have booked an appointment with New Hope Hospital and I can say that the staff are great,very accommodating and professional in their field. I have already started the treatment and will update you soon,hopefully we will have positive response.

Hi everyone; I have had to cycles with Fakih and both were unfortunately unsuccessful :( I am planning to start on my third trial with them and thinking of trying with Ghina. Can anyone mention how she deals with her patients and handles the cases? also what about Bohaira? as i can see on their site that she is more experienced than Ghina. any recommendations on who is best in terms of care and support as well as know how? Hello , hopefull2016 Im sorry to hear about your bad experiences . I had similar situation . One of my friend recommended me Dr.Gina in Fakih IVF. After consultation with her ,I was feeling really hopeful again. She give me the full support and she did all needed tests and made sure that our next try will be successful and thx God it happened . Now i'm 5 months pregnant with healthy Girl. I will be honest they have slightly higher prices comparing with other clinics ,but is worth . Better do it once for sure,instead of going through painful process several time and pay less.....and i had the opportunity to meet also with Dr.Bohaira during one of my tests and it seems she is very kind and helpful as well... Wish you best of luck ...:)

Hello Ladies I'm new in Dubai and have to start with our IVF treatment here. Reading your posts has been quite helpful, both informatively and emotionally. May I Please ask if anyone of you has had any experience with Dr Karunakara Marikinti at Fakih Dubai? We have had a horrible IVF cycle gone awfully wrong at another place and are quite concerned now about which doctor we choose for the next round. Your inputs will really help. Thanks a lot. Hi Gracie121 Hope your health is better ...sorry im a bit late,i just have joined on the forum. Have you done it IVF? I had really bad complications and miscarriage with my previous clinic. Since I visit Fakih ivf and had consultation with Dr. Karunakara I felt there is still hope.And eventually after the first try with them ,I'm happily pregnant 4 months . I can say he is very informative and have real good experience with difficult cases. I will strongly recommend him or if you prefer female also Dr. Roya and Dr.Gina are also very good... wish you all the best ;)

I met Dr Monica yesterday. They did ultra sound and series of tests and pap smear. My ultra sound says i have very thick linning on my uterus that costs my menstruation irregular.We will go for ivf-icsi but need to wait for all the results of my tests. I will meet her again on Sunday. I'm so nervous, hopefully all the results are ok then we can proceed. Good luck to us! Anyone having ivf treatment in Fakih hospital??? Maybe we can meet there one of these days.. ? Hey R0cketship1 can i know how your procedure went, ive heard a lot of good things about Dr. Monica from Fakih IVF. A friend of mine had her IVF done with her and her baby is healthy and we just celebrated her 1st birthday.

Hello--I hope this doesn't seem odd - I am 15 weeks pregnant from a successful IVF cycle. I have progesterone in oil remaining. Its quite expensive in the UAE and I am happy to give it to anyone who needs it. Has anyone heard of a place where I can donated unopened medication like this ? It just feels such a shame to throw away thousands of AED worth of medicine (I also have a ton of unopened syringes I'm trying to donate to an aid organisation - Again, if anyone knows anyone). Thanks. hi, congrats to you, just want to ask up to when did you use progesterone?For me its progesterone gel, just want to know up to when im going to used it, did u take estradiol as well?

Hi ladies Sorry for the delay in replying. I haven't got around at Fakih as yet. Had some other Heath issues that had to be taken care of first and have delayed my plans. But no worries, one thing at a time :)

Hi fellow expats. I am going to start my ivf journey on monday. I am schedule to meet Dr Monica on Monday. Is there anyone who've been with her? Any feed back about her? Im so excited and at the same time nervous. My menstruation is also irregular. Im worried how they will do the process, as i heard they ask everybody on the second day of their period to check their hormones, im worried because i sometimes dont get pregnant in a month or two. Or if i get period its only like spottings but it takes 1-2 weeks that period. Is there anyone who have the same situation like me? Anyway, i will see on Monday what doctor Monica will say. Please give us some encouragement, for those whe thought they are in hopeless case, but ended up getting pregnant after a successful ivf! Good luck to all of us. Hope to heat goods news from unguys! ?

Sorry to hear that your ivf was not successful . Dr did not tell you the reason why it was unsuccessful ..try to relax and do not stress yourself and prayto God....Hope your next ivf will be successful inshallah...I dont have any idea abt the Dr you are asking but i have heard abt new hope and bourne hall are also good Drs.Which Dr you went for ivf in Fakih ?How many times you did ivf? Try to have diet high in protein and low in carbs as i have heard it helps in implantation.God help us all the ladies who are ttc and give us healthy babies.

hi ladies, I have a question during ivf you have to take rest and not go office if you are working lady ?because i am working and i am planning to start ivf .so was thinking i should start ivf and take annual leave from office because ivf is costly and i really want it to work for me. I have been trying to conceive naturally for a long time need you suggestion and how you manage stress level during ivf and diet plan to follow and advice on heallthy egg medicine like Royal jelly,CoQ10 or any other

I too did ivf with Roya at fakih (Ghina was away on my cd2 - she was my first choice). Now pregnant in the first go with twins! Very expensive yes.. I did overstimulate (Ohss). And didn't feel like I had much discussion regarding embryo transfer as we wanted to transfer 1 but felt pressurized to go with both. Only wish they froze the embryos.. Good luck xx hi Aquarius2016 , please share your experience with Dr. Roya. i want to go to her but need to know how is she? i was pregnant 6 weeks but unfortunately miscarried so sad and dnt know the reason. so thought of see dr Roya. will appreciate your experience. thanks.
