Choosing a Fertility Clinic
Listening to you, our readers has always been so incredibly important to us.
Your words of wisdom and guidance, and your valued feedback will not only help us to make IVFbabble.com the best it can be for you, but will help others who need to hear from someone who has "been there".
A topic that we get hundreds of emails each month about, is how to choose a fertility clinic. We always reply with our comprehensive checklist, but, we want to also share words of wisdom from those who have actually done the choosing or are in the process of choosing.
We promise this won't take long to complete.
With love, the IVF babble team
