Liam and Mia’s Journey: Why They Chose IVF in Thailand
I'm Mia, and this is my husband, Liam. We've been married for ten years, and for most of that time, our biggest dream was to start a family. We pictured a house full of laughter, a little one running through the halls. But year after year, that dream felt further away. The diagnosis of infertility was devastating.
The journey through our local fertility clinics in Sydney was emotionally and financially draining. The long waiting lists for public clinics felt endless, and the private options were prohibitively expensive, costing us tens of thousands of dollars for a single cycle with no guarantee of success. Each failed cycle felt like a punch to the gut, leaving us feeling hopeless and isolated.
We were at a crossroads. We had spent so much money and emotional energy already, but we weren't ready to give up. We started researching alternatives, and that's when we stumbled upon medical tourism. We had heard about it for things like dental work, but never for something as complex as fertility treatments. The idea of going abroad was scary, but the promise of high-quality care at a fraction of the cost was too compelling to ignore.
That's when we found PlacidWay. Their website was different from the others. It wasn't just about prices; it was filled with stories of hope and success. We decided to reach out, and we were connected with a lovely patient care manager named Jessica. Talking to her was a huge relief. She understood our situation and our emotional exhaustion. She explained how PlacidWay works to connect patients with top-tier clinics around the world, making the process safe and transparent. She presented us with several options, but the one that stood out was Genea IVF and Genetics in Bangkok, Thailand.
The package at Genea was incredible. For around $11,500, we could get a full IVF cycle, including consultations, medication, and the procedure itself. This was a fraction of the cost in Australia, and the clinic's success rates were just as high, if not higher. The decision to go for IVF abroad was one of the easiest we'd made in years.
Flying to Thailand was an adventure filled with both nervousness and excitement. PlacidWay had arranged everything for us, from our airport transfers to our initial appointments. We were a little overwhelmed at first, but the moment we stepped into Genea IVF, we felt at ease. The clinic was pristine, state-of-the-art, and the staff was so welcoming. Our doctor, a kind and experienced specialist, walked us through the entire process, answering all our questions and making us feel completely comfortable. The level of care was exceptional. They were professional, compassionate, and attentive, providing us with a personal level of support that we hadn’t experienced before.
During our time in Bangkok, we weren't just patients; we were a couple on a journey. We balanced our clinic visits with exploring the city's vibrant markets, beautiful temples, and delicious food. It gave us a much-needed break from the constant stress of our fertility struggles back home. The whole experience felt less clinical and more like a hopeful new chapter.
When we returned home, we were filled with a mix of anticipation and hope. A few weeks later, we got the call. We were pregnant. The moment we heard those words, we both broke down in tears of pure joy and relief. Our long journey was finally reaching its destination. The following nine months were filled with a happiness we hadn't known before.
Our little boy, Leo, was born healthy and happy. He is our everything, and we owe so much to PlacidWay for making it possible. They didn't just facilitate a medical procedure; they facilitated our family.
For any couple out there struggling with infertility treatments, I want you to know that there are other options. Medical tourism isn't just about saving money; it’s about finding hope and receiving world-class care. Thanks to PlacidWay, our family dream became a reality.
