Hello Everyone..
I have been reading your board for some time now. I really enjoy your post.
I am a US citizen who lives in Costa Rica, as you may or may not know IVF is banned here by the courts. My husband and I just have started the process of a Greece IVF holiday. We have began our local testing by our local doctor.
I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and say how much I enjoy the board. And look forward to being apart.

Greece is the only place I have found that does IVF hoildays. I did look into AUSTRALIA but they wanted us to stay the whole cycle. Where as Greece let a local doctor do everything but the auctal IVF. If anyone knows of anywhere else ??? If not its a long long plane to Greece for us. :D

hello and welcome..
greece sounds great.. i have only been to canada and that was for expo..

but wanted to let you know that here (us) they do ivf all year long.
but it $$$$$$$$$$$
the clinic that i went threw was great .
the only time i ever gave a man a hug naked other then my hubby.. that is when he just did my 8 wk ultra sound and told me that it was time to go to my reular doctor.. i was so excited that i jumped off the table naked and gave him a big hug.. i was just so happy.
then once i relised that i was bare but naked i started to blush..
poor dh..

anyway good luck
becky
we werent blessed with our babies to raise here but we our blessed with our grandaughter
and all of our many adopted and foster children that touch our lives
and i am glad to add that our 6th grandchild will be born this spring!!!!
