Me and my wife did IVF treatment for the first time and had no prior experience with IVF or pregnancy, but our coordinator (Janina), doctors, embryologist, nurses, receptionist - they all provided us with great useful information at each step and made us comfortable throughout the entire process.
We did an absolutely free pre-consulting Skype session with their doctor who explained to us the entire process and answered all our doubts and questions. This made our decision to go with Gynem very easy and already put us at comfort.
At our first visit to Prague, we were provided with a free taxi pickup from the airport. And when we arrived at the clinic for the first time, we were greeted by our coordinator Janina with a smile.
It's great pleasure to work with Janina, she answered all our questions and was our single point for contact for any questions whatsoever. She took care of handling our appointments with the doctor, coordinating with the embryologist, donor, labs and everything.
Janina is always willing to help with a smile and was always just a phone call or email away. She was always very responsive and has a great attention to details.
She is very organised and on top of the entire procedure and showed genuine interest in our case.
We can't thank her enough and highly recommend here and the Gynem clinic to anyone looking for IVF procedure. We couldn't have asked for more.
Gynem was quick in finding us a donor matching our criteria and there was no wait whatsoever.
We were always kept informed in a timely manner on the procedure, pricing and progress at each step. Everything worked like a clockwork. There were no long waits, delays, extra costs or any surprises. The procedure went exactly as explained to us and the clinic facilities are to the mart with special attention to details.
We had a great experience with Gynem. I and my wife were taken care of and always felt at comfort with Gynem team.
We can't thank Gynem team enough for making this experience not so stressful for us.
Thanks a lot to the entire team, you guys do a great job every day with such a grace. I highly recommend Gynem and Janina to anyone without a second thought.
Appreciate all your help!

My IVF Gynem experience

THE RESEARCH:

It took me a very long time to decide what clinic to go because of how expensive IVF is but mostly about how much we want to be successful with a qualified doctor. Also based in the UK, IVF is so expensive and not affordable for us. I looked at 3 countries before I made the decision, I looked at Turkey, Poland and Czech Republic in Prague. I discounted Poland because of the lack of communication from the most popular clinics. I then focused on Turkey and Prague, after reading reviews, success rates and looking at Facebook groups, I discounted Turkey, and this was mainly because I needed to be able to fly home for work when needed. Prague had 2 hour flights every day so that was great.

It was hard to finally decide on a clinic to use. We chose Gynem because there was no waiting lists, no horror stories, had a good success rate and mostly because of Jana's ability to answer all and every single one of my questions within hours of my emails. I mostly appreciated that she was honest and consulted the doctor whenever i had any medical questions. 

The CLINIC EXPERIENCE:

The best thing about being with Gynem was that my international coordinator Jana. She was the first person i spoke to on the online chat and she was the ONLY person who was assigned to me and i loved that! I never had to discuss my fertility issues twice, or send my documents over more than once. Jana was so quick at replying to my emails i sometimes missed reading new ones because i assumed they were old (we had a good thread going).  

Another thing i loved about the clinic is that Jana organised everything for me, i flew to and from Prague 4 times (my choice), this was because  i have a toddler at home and wanted to be mommy and a sibling hunter at the same time. i was able to be have reliable transport arranged to me from and to the airport and hotel. Of course the hotel recommendations were a massive help.  The best thing about Gynem Clinic is that IT IS SAFE!! i travelled alone, stayed in hotels  alone and completely worry free. 

During the pre-embryo transfer procedure, the embryologist was so honest and told me what extras i did not need. i love that the clinic is NOT money driven and was not out to rob my husband and i. i wanted Assisted Hatching which would have cost an extra £400 but they were honest in that i didn't need it. They only did procedures that were necessary for us. Also i loved that they practice within the legal parameters and put my health first. I asked for more embryos and they were clear in saying NO it isn't safe and definitely illegal to have (3) i appreciated that as i got something to freeze. They made sure i knew the risks and success likelihood before the transfer and i am grateful for that. 

Honestly, i look forward to continuing to work with Gynem clinic in the hope of completing our family. I am currently in the two week wait (so anxious and want that positive pregnancy test). I have nothing negative to say about the clinic. It’s clear, professional and have very very friendly stuff. Oh yes must mention that great little kids play area in reception, my son loved it. Thanks so much Jana for making a very lonely and stressful experience so easily and uncomplicated. We are very grateful to you.

Comparing the prices around europe, you wont believe that you would enter a big, advanced, scientific clinic and a friendly environment as well. A kind coordinator accompanies you throughout the procedure and gives you all necessary information. Without any hesitate I can say GYNEM fertility clinic is much more of what you expect.

We are so so happy to share with you our happiest news ever! - what we are waiting for so long - that I am pregnant! Yes! And this is confirmed! First we did our house test on Friday morning, which has already gave a positive result! Than every morning till today, which showed the sign of the HCG hormon! Tuesday morning I went to see my gynecologist who also confirmed my miracle! First the ultrasound showed the gestational sac and the thick endometrial. The embryo took a perfect place to implant! It was so wonderful to see on the screen! Later I got my blood test result which gave 2297mlU/ml! Woow! My doctor said it is nice high, so I asked maybe am I having twins! He said no.... but maybe?

Oh Jana, even if one or two little one, we are so glad and grateful to visited you and your clinic! I can not say thank you enough to give me this opportunity to know that I am able to have a chance to be pregnant! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Of course I will be careful and I continue to take my medicines. Please give our best regards to all of your staff who was part of our treatment and tell them how happy we are that we visited your clinic!

We will definitely keep you updated! We hope you are doing fine and we wish you more and more successful stories! Have a wonderful week!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone there, our baby daughter has arrived, she is absolutely gorgeous and we now have our complete little family. Thank you once again this would never have been possible without your wonderful team!

I am very happy with the treatment I received from Gynem. It was extremely useful to have regular contact with my coordinator both by email and whatsapp. This made a stressful and unfamiliar process much easier. In addition to my feedback below, I also would like to add that I think acceptance criteria for donors should be that they are non-smokers as smoking can have a negative impact on reproductive and egg health.

Update July 2018

I gave birth to a healthy baby boy on 22 June 2018. Alun and I are very happy and grateful to Gynem for making this possible.

We highly recommend the Gynem clinic after my husband and I travelled from Australia to Prague for IVF treatment.

Our international client assistant Zita is wonderful since our 1st online chat in their website, she is very helpful and quick response and good English speaker. 

Our treatment plan was clear after having an initial consultation with Dr. Vlcek over Skype.  He explained the details very well and was able to answer any questions that we had.  We were able to time our treatment with our travel plans.

Also there was no waiting list at Gynem. We first contacted them in June and we flew to Prague for treatment in August.  There is a 10 hour time difference between Australia and Europe, so we planned our trip over two weeks to make sure my body will not be too tired from jetlag – we arrived in Prague one week before and stayed two days after transfer embryo (we also stopped Dubai a couple of days to rest). It was delightful to meet Zita when we arrived at the clinic, her support was continued until we left to go back to Sydney. 

We had a baby girl in this May and she is perfect for us – healthy and beautiful.   I and my husband are incredibly happy this little girl finally joined our family. Thank you so much Gynem team!   

First of all I'd like to thank you for your promptly support. I was impressed with the way you were always available to answer my questions and put me at ease at such stressful time.

I really like the professionalism of the team. In fact I'd like to point out a few people that really exceed my expectations. One of them is the nurse who collected blood, sorry I don't know her name, she is really good at her job and very friendly. Another one is a nurse called Christina (she was there for the egg collection), very friendly and kind. 

Also both male doctors who saw me (an older one who did the first scan and a younger one who did the egg collection), they explained the procedures and were available for questions. Not forgetting the doctor who took care of Mike. 

And one more thing, though all the questions I had were satisfactorily answered by you or the doctors, maybe it would be nice to have someone explaining the whole process and options at the beginning as sometimes I just didn't really know what I wanted to ask because it is such a chaotic time. But overall I'd definitely recommend Gynem to anyone. Like I said the professionalism of the team is remarkable and the facilities are great. 

Once again thank you so very much for all your help.
