Frequently asked questions
How long is the NHS waiting list for IVF in Greenock?
NHS waiting times in Scotland vary by health board, typically ranging from 12 to 36 months. Eligibility criteria also differ, and many patients do not qualify based on age, previous treatment or relationship status, making private or overseas options necessary.
What does an all-inclusive fertility treatment package abroad include?
All-inclusive packages usually cover initial consultation, blood tests, ultrasound scans, egg collection, fertilisation, embryo transfer and basic medication. Some clinics add accommodation and airport transfers, though additional procedures such as PGT-A testing may incur extra charges.
Is it safe to travel for IVF treatment from Greenock?
Yes, travelling for IVF is safe when using accredited clinics. Established destinations like Turkey and Cyprus have highly trained specialists and modern facilities. Your fertility clinic will provide detailed aftercare instructions, and you can arrange follow-up scans with your GP in Greenock upon return.
Can I combine my fertility treatment trip with a holiday from Greenock?
Many patients do combine treatment with leisure time. However, it is advisable to rest for several days after egg collection and embryo transfer. Partners often explore the destination while you recover, making the trip more balanced and less medically focused.
What is the success rate for IVF treatment abroad compared to Greenock?
Success rates depend on age, egg quality and clinic expertise rather than location. Leading fertility clinics in Turkey, Cyprus and the Czech Republic report comparable or better success rates than many UK clinics, often because they treat larger numbers of patients and invest in advanced techniques.
