We decided we will head for ICSI, but were not sure with whom.
That’s exactly where an internet is handy tool. I checked with my local gynecologist for referral. She suggested a couple of names. A simple Google search popped up with details. I went on surfing about the information (assuming it’s reliable and most case it will be) on the doctor, team, experience, credentials, etc.
I sent emails to all of the doctors and some of them responded back too!!! It’s great to see how the doctor connects to the prospective patients. I am really impressed with the details and accurate information on the email. Trust me that me confident about the doctor.
I read lots of articles on the procedure and treatment; cost associated with it and the success rates.
Information I looked in their websites:
- Experience of the doctor
- qualification of the doctors
- Credentials of their clinic
- experience and profile of the team (remember embryologist are one who gets your embryos hatched)
- number of babies born
- technical devices they have
Information I asked through emails:
- I gave my basic details
- I asked which treatment is going to help me
- How much time is required (I must say a doctor gave me detailed daily plan for a month over email!!)
- how much it will cost (approx)
- any test to be conducted before seeing them
These things helped me a lot to understand what ICSI is about and knowing the doctors. The main task still remains - selecting the doctor and cycle of visit (fund wasn't a major constraint for me)
