Deciding on a clinic

Several factors need to be considered when deciding on an IVF clinic. These might include the reproductive endocrinologist who practises there, the reproductive endocrinologist's credentials and technical expertise, other staff members' expertise and training, your access to facilities and personnel, location, cost, and the clinic's success rate.

You may also be limited by age. Some clinics do not accept women over the age of 40. Others may accept women between 40 and 45 under special circumstances. If you fall into this age range, be sure to ask the clinics you are considering if they have age restrictions.
