Why we chose Reprofit

Hello Everyone,

In selecting a clinic, we ultimately chose Reprofit in the Czech Republic for the following reasons:

1) When researching clinics throughout Europe, we found many favorable reviews for Reprofit on a
number of fertility discussion boards. We asked the people who had posted about their experiences
and we were able to compile a lot of information about the experiences that these people had with
Reprofit. We soon came to believe that the level of medical care in the Czech Republic was every bit as good as the care that we might receive here in America.

 2) We also learned that, unlike America, embryo adoption in the Czech Republic is completely anonymous. There is no fear that we would ever be contacted by either the egg donor or sperm donor. There were also no contracts to sign or home visits to endure.

3) The embryos are created using donated eggs and sperm from anonymous donors. The donors go through a lengthy screening process and are all under the age of 32. Furthermore, we learned that Reprofit does not use “left- over” embryos from a couples’ IVF cycle.

4) Reprofit has no “waiting period”. This made arranging the procedure around my vacation time much easier.

5) All of our appointments were scheduled through a third party consultant (Miracles Waiting), which
facilitated making communications with the clinic.

6) Reprofit was significantly more affordable, even after factoring in a.) the cost of travel and b.) the
fact that we had to make the trip twice because our first visit was not successful. We were able to save money on our second visit through a “Shared Risk” program that “Miracles Waiting” has with the clinic.

7.) While I do not know the current costs charged by the clinic, my cost was approximately $ 2500.00 for the first visit. Because I had to return a second time, I was was charged $1500.00 for the second visit.

8.) Finally, while you should check current pricing for flights, my travel costs amounted to about $2000.00 for airfare to and from and about $500.00 for ground transportation. I can’t provide you with exact figures for my two trips because we included a bit of a vacation. But suffice it to say that the cost and quality of hotels in Europe are comparable to those here in America. You do want to book ahead in order to get the best price.

9. And finally, do not be afraid of any language barriers. Apparently, English has become the international language of business. Every hotel desk clerk we met in Europe spoke English as did most cab drivers and restaurant servers. So did most shopkeepers and police officers. And the majority of Doctors and staff at Reprofit were fully fluent as well.
