With an increasing number of UK patients travelling abroad for their IVF treatment, are lower treatment costs and shorter waiting lists the only things that people are basing their decision on to go abroad?

Alicante, Spain -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/13/2014 -- With an increasing number of UK patients travelling abroad for their IVF treatment, are lower treatment costs and shorter waiting lists the only things that people are basing their decision on to go abroad? Have they really considered every one of the risk factors? Have they checked to see that the IVF clinic abroad has a good track record and continually maintain high quality standards? Have they actually taken the time to check out other peoples IVF treatment experiences abroad, found on clinic websites as accredited feedback from successful couples?

The main factor to research when considering IVF treatment abroad is the safety track record of the clinic, especially as the UK's HFEA has no jurisdiction over IVF clinics abroad. Even the EU "Tissues and Cells Directive" has not been able to implement their standards in all member states. Another UK safety body "HFEA" publishes success rate data online, but once again only for UK IVF clinics, so for clinics abroad people have to rely on website data and stats to compare a clinics IVF success rates with a clinic in the UK.

Other important factors to consider are who will ever have access to see all personal data relating to the IVF treatment, including the identity of the baby or babies, and whether the data can or cannot be transferred to the UK register. And in the case things go wrong abroad, not a lot of support will be given by the UK governing body HFEA, so a clinic's overall liability must be clearly specified within the treatment contract. Legal advice would also be needed to clarify the position of parental responsibility, especially when planning to use donated sperm, eggs or embryos, and even more so for couples considering surrogacy abroad.

Multiple pregnancies could also be considered as a risk that needs to be considered, being the single greatest health risk associated with IVF treatment with possible risks for both the mother and baby. So people are therefore advised to discuss any such risk with the IVF clinic abroad, and see whether the clinic does have any policies in place that help to minimise the chance of multiple births.

Most couples look online for an IVF treatment clinic abroad, but just because a website is in the English language, it doesn't actually mean that the clinic staff will be able to speak English well enough to explain the whole treatment process clearly, which would without a doubt increase the risk of things not turning out as expected. One sign for a good clinic abroad is that they ask to see a patients current UK medical records, and another is that the clinic offers all the counselling and support required throughout the IVF treatment process.

Seeking IVF treatment abroad has been made a lot easier through the Internet, and one of the most popular destinations is in fact Spain, not only because it is relatively close to the UK, but also because high quality IVF treatment standards are on a par. While researching IVF treatment clinics abroad, IVF-SPAIN was found to present all the information required to reduce all of the above risk factors while undergoing fertility treatment, the very friendly English speaking staff were certainly up to the job of providing concrete information, and the website provides credible feedback from previous patients who have undergone IVF treatment at their clinic.

Leading UK newspapers The Times and Daily Mail have this week both reported on a new IVF treatment breakthrough made by scientists.

Alicante, Spain -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2014 -- Leading UK newspapers The Times and Daily Mail have this week both reported on a new IVF treatment breakthrough made by scientists, who have managed to discover the chemical signal which predicts whether an embryo will be accepted by the womb or not. The chemical given off by promising embryos called Trypsin has been proved to be responsible for preparing the womb for implantation, which will help to show Doctors if the womb will reject an embryo when the chemical is not present.

With scientists discovering the chemical signal that can predict if an embryo will be accepted by the womb or not, they suggest that the discovery will dramatically improve on current success rates of IVF treatment, where less than 30 per cent of IVF cycles successfully result in the birth of a healthy baby, and Nick Macklon from the University of Southampton, and a Professor of obstetrics and gynaecology is reported as saying that about one third of the top quality embryos are currently being implanted, and that there really was a lot of room for improvement, but it would seem that scientists have finally broken through a very significant barrier to help improve IVF treatment success rates, as these new findings will go a long way in explaining why some women suffer miscarriages, and why other women fail to become pregnant.

Many couples seeking IVF treatment in the UK are beginning to become despondent as fertility treatment waiting lists become longer and longer, and one country that seems to have conquered that problem is Spain, with plenty of donors, less legislation, and much shorter waiting lists. In the UK there is without a doubt too much red tape, for example, UK legislation states that the number of embryos transferred is dependent upon female age and the IVF treatment undertaken, whereby in Spain, fertility clinics are able to offer much more flexible options to patients, but still within a legislated framework that is able to produce the best success rates throughout Europe..

One Spanish fertility treatment clinic, IVF-Spain, who are a national leader in IVF treatment, is located in Alicante, and well situated for any UK couples looking at the option of IVF or egg donation abroad or in Spain. The company philosophy states that they aim to make their patients feel as comfortable and self-confident as possible. Also, high quality standards and improving constantly through new technologies in reproductive medicine are their top priority, and the clinic's success rates are also one of the best throughout Spain and the rest of Europe.

In any country really the success rate of a fertility treatment has everything to do with the grade of professionalism and experience of the IVF medical team in the clinic, and IVF-Spain offers its patients an expert medical team who work with modern equipment, making the way for providing excellent and complete rapports about hormonal function and sperm quality. The tests carried out at IVF-Spain include genetic studies of gametes and specialized genetic advice, so if you are considering IVF treatment abroad, then consider Spain, visit IVF-Spain for a free consultation first.
