@ Princess87: You can visit their website: www.newhopeivf.com... thanks for ur reply dear...howmuch did it cost u in new hope for ivf...happy to hear that u are pregnant with babies. which dr u are consulting in new hope...i am planning for ivf Hi dear, how are you? have you decided already where to go for treatment. In my experience to New Hope IVF team, they are great and very supportive. For the cost of IVF/ICSI treatment, 20,000 AED (monitoring, egg collection, embryo transfer, and anesthesia) PLUS cost of drugs which is dose-related (approx. AED 3,000 AED-6,000 AED depending on the age of patient and/or Serum FSH, Inhibin B & AMH levels as explained by my doctor) PLUS the cost of blood test required for both husband and wife which is approx. 3,000 AED.

Hi Princess87..I was under anesthetic for egg collection so didn't feel it then, but few days following that I had some cramps and I did take it very easy, yes I took the week off work. Going to the clinic wasn't stressful at All specially seeing dr royAs nurse Cheryl's - she was so sweet. I went in everyday for my injections and they closely monitor you..so you get to see familiar faces - everyone is supporting you, and you feel good they all praying for you..it's all positive smiles :)) Yes I am 6 months pregnant with twins! You will be too very soon..good luck and God bless xx I even did acupuncture throughout until I got positive pregnancy test.

I'm 27 weeks with twins thanks to Dr Ghina! She's the best! congratulations dear ....wish u a heath baby ...dear new dubai momma. plz tell me how much did it cost u total in ivf fakih n did dr gave u any diet plan during n before ivf ....Plzz reply 32,000 ICSI package, no diet recommended but I did Paleo diet (Google it) for 3 months leading up to ivf. Lost 20 lbs and I think that was partly responsible for my success, as I had much better success than previous attempts. High protein low carb supposedly helps egg health.

@Running_chick1, am in the same spot as you (age 41) and just finished 3 cycles are Faikh, met Dr G on the last round, you are lucky she seems to have the best all round attitude. I didn't have the best experience at Faikh but fingers crossed and best of luck to you!

Hi - we are due to go back to Dr Fakih on CD2 for US and blood test then hopefully start. We're with Dr Ghina and she is lovely. Didn't really click with Dr Fakih himself, was too matter of fact and impersonal, and quite negative about my age (41). Can't wait to finally start treatment :)
