Care Manchester

[Lou32]

Hi everyone
We are looking into which clinic to use for our second attempt at icsi and we're swaying towards Care Manchester. I've emailed them to check a few things and we're booked into an open evening in a few weeks, but in the meantime I wondered if any ladies on here had any experiences they could share?
The main reason I'm keen on them is that they're trialling IMSI - don't suppose any of you are using this at the moment? When I emailed them they were unsure of how much it would cost, which makes me think it's v early days.
Also, they don't package up their registration fee and preliminary tests like many other clinics do, so how much did it cost you for all the bumph, tests, appt etc before you actually started the treatment?
How much would you estimate the whole thing comes to (without drugs, as I know this depends on the individual). I was guessing at about £4k, but thinking it might be closer to £5k now...

This will be our second go (first was NHS funded in W Yorks) so really want to choose a good clinic.
Thanks

Hi Lou,
Sorry your first time didn't work. I went to CARE Man and can only say good things. I've got my little 4 month FET daughter asleep on me as I type this. My first IVF with drugs and tests cost about £4,000 and about £300 to freeze the embies.
Good luck - everyone is really nice. xx
