Hi Gracie, I'm sorry I can't offer any advice on the two you mentioned but I do have personal experience with another. We recently used DGFC (dubai gynaecology and fertility centre) in Healthcare City for an IVF cycle. Doctor and nurses were lovely and very professional. No waiting like back home. We found it a much better experience than previous ones in the UK. If you need any more info, just ask! :-) Good luck! :-) Thanks for your reply. can you please tell me which doctor did you meet there at DGFC and approx. what was the cost of the treatment.Was it including the meds, scans etc. We saw Dr Wael and he was really really lovely. Explained everything really well and always asked if we had questions. We needed ICSI which is more expensive than straightforward IVF because it involves a lot more tests/procedures/meds. It was 45,000ish inclusive of everything for us (we had LOTS of tests/procedures in the lead up to treatment that not everyone needs) but if you call them they can give you a rough idea of IVF procedure cost. It used to be on their website so you could check there too. From what I remember scans are 400 each, bloods roughly between 150-250 depending on the one being done. It's the scans and meds in particular that drive the cost up, the actual IVF/ICSI is not that expensive so will differ for every couple. Sorry I can't give you a more def answer regarding cost! Hey Thanks a ton for your detailed reply. This really helps. I will try and get an appointment for consultation. I wonder if any part of it can be covered by insurance, such as initial scans or blood tests, even if ' infertility' per se isn't included. As far as I know, none of the tests/treatment is covered by insurance and all clinics insist they do all the tests themselves, even if you have just had it done elsewhere! Good luck with your consultation and if you need any help/info/ear to listen,just give me a shout!

Thanks you ladies, I used to go every month back in the UK but I have been too scared to try it since moving to Dubai! Need to bite the bullet and get back on the wagon now though....:biggrin:
