Lister Clinic @ The Portland

That’s were I’ve been for the last two years for fertility, IVF and now maternity care. They’ve been incredible - happy to tell you more about it if you’d like to drop me a message? I was also born there 🐼😌
We’ve just got a ‘quote’ from The Lister but we live in Kent so just weighing it all up with the travel element. My friend is 41 has just got a positive with ARGC but it has cost her A FORTUNE (obviously worth it but you know what I mean) Xxx
Thanks so much for your replies! Was also thinking ARGC but given we’ve already spent over £1000 on investigations/tests/clomid etc with Lister, wondered really how much better ARGC is as we’d have to spent several hundred pounds afresh with new repeat tests there, so feeling like I should stick with Lister. Having costed both, it seems to be roughly the same.
I’m working with Lister Dr Thum alongside my clinic in Scotland and have found them fantastic in comparison to my actual clinic. They make you feel like they really care and it’s not about money. ARGC have amazing results however it’s a very intense protocol. I know some people who have had to relocate to london for a month or so to manage to attend all the appointments as they give you blood tests every few days. Xx
We moved clinics to follow our consultant (Dr Farahani) to the lister at the Portland and were really happy with them. Excellent team, felt very listened to, and we had success.
Hi @Rach do you know roughly how much your friend paid? I hate to pry but also want to have an idea of whether they could be feasible for me.
@Lexi nearly £24k I believe xx
Ouch, expensive, thanks @Rach
@Rach was this for 1 round? I’m with argc currently and it does add up because you do daily blood tests but I would say that 24k would probably be 2 full rounds? The procedure with icsi is about £4500 which is quite standard? X
Lister is a great clinic - I know many people with success from there. ARGC does have the best success rates but it comes at a very high price, and it is a very intense process there and they use immune drugs for most people so not necessarily the best for just starting IVF, prob better for recurrent failure when most people are more likely to need that approach. Lister, CRGH and Evewell are all similar and meant to be brilliant.
