■Transferring from another clinic
There can be many reasons for thinking about transferring. Maybe you’re getting nervous about the possibleresult of your treatment, perhaps you are having problems communicating with your physician, or perhaps you are deadlocked and don’t know what to do anymore. Finally, perhaps you are getting irritated because you still haven’t been able to get pregnant. It takes a lot of courage to transfer from the clinic you trusted for your care until now, more so if your physician has taken good care of you. But time won’t wait.
The more times you try IVF, the lower the chances of success. Transferring to another clinic has both advantages and disadvantages, however, if you are at an impass, making plans to start fromthe beginning again would be a major turning point. Please consult us if you have any hesitation. You don’t have to transfer if our institution or doctors do not fit well with your expectations. If you do end up transferring, a letter of introduction is not necessarily needed. We understand that you will feel stressed asking your physician for such a letter. We don’t want you to feel any more stress, and we have the track record and actual results that allow us to proceed based solely on the conversation we have with our patients.

This system was designed for every patient and combines the best techniques from all over the world. You will need to visit an IVF clinic more than once because we have to give various treatments during the process. We understand that this entails significant costs and time for patients living far from our clinic. Therefore, MINIMUM STAY IVF was made for you to enable you to receive the best medical treatments in cooperatation with your local clinic. This is the system we really want to recommend to patients hesitant to try IVF because of “distance”.
