Fertility tourism becoming trendy and more affordable


Take a quick vacation and come home pregnant!

In the world of assisted fertility, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is nothing new. Especially for females that are 40 and over, donor egg IVF, where eggs from a younger, more fertile donor are fertilized with the partner’s sperm, cultivated and then transferred to the prospective mom’s uterus – is often the only hope for achieving pregnancy.

But for couples whose health insurance doesn’t cover infertility, the costs of these treatments can be prohibitively expensive; IVF with an egg donor costs an average of R50,000. That’s per try, pregnant or not pregnant at the outcome.

So increasingly, fertility tourism is becoming more and more popular for couples and they are seeking international options in their quest for a baby.  They are looking into countries where the medical technology is on par with theirs and the costs are significantly less.

Foreign couples can mix purpose with pleasure by making the required clinic visits, taking time for some sightseeing and relaxation, and hopefully, flying home with a proverbial bun in the oven

There are many benefits of traveling to South Africa for your fertility treatments. South Africans speak English, making it easy to communicate with doctors, nurses, and medical staff. Like their European counterparts, South African fertility doctors are trained to international standards. Plus, doing an IVF vacation South Africa is not new or untested; many people from the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, and Europe have already had success getting pregnant there.

And of course, South Africa is a beautiful country with a rich history and many places to explore. You can do relaxing beach vacations, adventurous safaris, or urban exploring.

That’s why it’s considered a top destination to spend a few weeks sightseeing while receiving infertility treatments.

This means there are some minor misconceptions regarding egg donation. Here are some myths about using third-party reproduction to start or grow your family: Myth #1: There’s something wrong with me Many times when intended parents learn they are unable to conceive traditionally, they feel lacking in some way. But the truth is, everyone’s journey to parenthood is different, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Thankfully with the major breakthrough in reproductive science, it has made the path to parenthood more accessible than ever before. Everyone deserves the opportunity to create their own family, and everyone’s journey is valid. Myth #2: Will it really be  my  baby Many many adoptive families all over the world know...

What is IVF?

What is IVF? IVF is an acronym for  in vitro  fertilization (‘ in vitro ‘ meaning ‘in glass’). Simply put IVF is adding a man’s sperm to his female partners eggs in the laboratory to produce embryos. In vitro fertilization is an option for many couples who cannot conceive through conventional therapies. These embryos are put back into the female partner’s uterus (womb) after 3 to 5 days of being in the incubator, hopefully they will then grow into a baby. The reasons IVF is done include – poor sperm quality and/or quantity, obstructions between the egg and sperm, ovulation problems, and sperm-egg interaction problems.
