@@hellynn_j I’m going to Cha Hospital! I came to Korea in March expecting a transfer but I’m now waiting for an operation to remove my ovary cyst before the transfer (what a bummer!). I’ll go back to the states after that and come back in Korea again in autumn😊 Wish you the best of luck too💓💓💓 Supporting your journey🥰❣️
Wow. Thank you for sharing. If my next 2 transfers do not work, I will look into this. My husband is Korean and his family travels there a lot, so this is more doable than I thought. Thank you for starting this company and sharing this with others.

Hello Hellynn, I'm from Washington D.C. I am Vietnamese and currently I am doing IVF in Vietnam (Tam Anh hospital in Ho Chi Minh City). I have been in Vietnam for 4 and half months. I had my first embryo transfer 4 weeks ago. I did acupuncture before embryo transfer. I find it really helps blood circulate better throughout the body, especially blood circulates well in the uterus, making the uterus warm. IVF prices in Vietnam are same as IVF prices in Korea. I am currently 6w5d pregnant. I wish you success in your upcoming embryo transfer, very soon. P/s: I have visited Seoul many times and I really love Korean food, really yummy!!!
Wow congratulations! That makes me really happy to hear your good news. Thank you for the tips, I used to do acupuncture but I stopped - I may resume again in the future! Let me know how it goes, I'm sending good vibes. PS - yes Korea food is so good!
@@lynatran4391 Hi Lyna, Tam Anh Hospital is the best place in Vietnam to do IVF. I am doing IVF with Dr. Giang Huynh Nhu in Ho Chi Minh city. This hospital is famous for doing IVF for very difficult cases with few ovarian follicles. There are many cases have low AMH under 0.06-1.00 but they still succeed. A few months ago, Dr. Nhu helped a Vietnamese patient from Germany who was in the early stages of menopause find 2 precious ovarian follicles and she was successful with the second embryo transfer. The service is very good. I see many foreigners coming here to do IVF. Doctors here are very patient in finding the cause of embryo transfer failure and fixing it. I hope this information is useful to you.

Thanks for sharing and help so much people. A lot of places in Europe are good to have cheaper ART than in US. For exemple, in Spain it’s between 2000- 3000 euros for an egg retrieval and between 4000 and 8000 euros for an IVF (depends of the method and the testing of the embryo or not). In Czech Republic it’s cheaper.
Yes I have heard Europe is also great, I know a lot of people who went to Greece or Germany! Bloom Korea only guides women to Korea for IVF so I don't know the details of getting IVF in Europe but have heard good things. 🙂
I got a pretty fantastic deal in MX too. I bought a package for 4 IVF cycles minus meds for $13,500. Meds for each cycle runs me around $2500 and if after 4 tries we don’t get pregnant we get 100% of our money back minus the medication. In the US we were quoted $22,000 plus $7,000 for medicines for just 1 try.
@@hellynn_j We just started our IVF journey. I go this Wednesday for my first egg retrieval. I’m hoping we only have to do this once but it’s nice having peace of mind knowing that we have 3 other tries if things don’t work out on round 1. 🤞🏽
Health insurance in the US is ridiculous. Costs a fortune and there are still such high deductibles…and people say this is the greatest country. What a lie we have all been fed. Thankfully my insurance covers a good chuck of my IVF (I live in Illinois) Thank you for sharing your experience in Korea!!
Healthcare really is ridiculous in the US. It is the most painful part of living there! I’m really glad that you are covered for IVF treatments!! so lucky❤ sending you lots of baby dust on your journey!

I haven’t seen my RE since my first consultation😭 Im Korean and don’t have insurance in Korea, but I will definitely go to Korea after my second egg retrieval. This video helps me a lot!!
That’s about how much I was quoted also… I feel you girl!! But I truly hope that it works out for you in Atlanta.🙏🙏🙏 If you are a Korean citizen, you should be able to get your healthcare reactivated as soon as you arrive. If you are not a Korean citizen, reach out to us bloomkorea.co and we will help you every step of the way.

Hi Hellynn, Wondering if you’ve heard of platelet rich plasma for ovarian rejuvenation- improving AMH levels and egg quality? Also, does your clinic in Korea transfer with abdominal ultrasound or transvaginal?
Thanks for this it was eye-opening how much cheaper it is in Korea. If the overall costs are so much cheaper I feel you should reconsider using some of your budget to do PGT testing. I saw your previous video where you said you were not testing because there have been cases of embryos that self-corrected. There are a handful of small studies on this and I'd just like to point out the misinformation there is. 1) The studies are saying that for mosaic embryos which have the right number of chromosomes, there is a chance that they may self-correct and turn out normal 2) These studies are not saying that aneuploid embryos can self-correct. Aneuploid embryos cannot magically delete chromosomes or grow chromosomes and become normal. 3) PGT-A is testing exactly for aneuploidy. Now while it is not 100% accurate it is >98% accurate. 4) Ultimately you are saving yourself precious time (and heartache) by testing. At this point you have no idea why your transfers have failed - maybe the embryos were all aneuploid? You can move on to more ERs instead of wasting time on transfers that are going to be futile. Just my 2 cents
Yes, I definitely think that Korea is a great option for IVF and other medical treatments. Thank you for sharing your recommendation to test. I was never against testing. I am testing this round because I just have less time. I have to dispute that this is misinformation though. The way that it was explained to me at the hospital is that the PGTA results of the few cells that are biopsied are about 98% accurate, but there is no way of knowing that those few cells represent all the other cells of the embryo as a whole. For example the embryo might be a low level mosaic, but the specific cells that they pulled may be aneuploid and vice versa. There are many cases where mosaics self correct. My doctor told me this is the reason why PGT is not very accurate and there is definitely a chance that we discard embryos that might’ve had a chance otherwise. The biopsy of the few cells that are pulled is fairly accurate though, if that is what you mean. I think making the decision to test or not really depends on your situation and what you feel you can live with. Especially if you have DOR like me, you definitely think twice before testing, and that’s okay too.
@@hellynn_j The 98% accuracy is a number that already factors in PGT sampling only about 2-10 cells of the entire embryo, it's not that it's 98% accurate for only those 2-10 cells. I'm not sure how advanced genetic testing is in Korea but in the US with PGT you get details on the level of mosaicism and you can make more informed calls on transferring if it's a LLM vs a HLM.
@@Light-h6h Korea is known to be medically advanced. May I ask how the other cells that are not biopsied confirmed aneuploid or euploid to achieve 98% accuracy? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8607878/
@@hellynn_j In the majority of cases an embryo is either totally euploid, or totally aneuploid in all cells. Sampling 5-10 cells gives you >98% confidence it is going to be representative of the entire embryo. Maybe you might have an embryo with 5 aneuploid cells and 145 euploid cells but statistically, the probability that the lab randomly samples only those 5 aneuploid is extremely low. This is why there is such a high confidence level for tests if embryo is euploid or aneuploid. The difficulty only comes in if the embryo is mosaic. On embryos self-correcting - in the case of LLMs where you have mostly euploid and few aneuploid cells, the euploid cells could eventually take over. BUT the premise is there needs to be sufficient (majority) euploid cells present in order for a euploid cell line to take over. This is also why aneuploids cannot and will not self-correct, because there are insufficient euploid cells. Trisomies and monosomies can self correct but these will happen much earlier, even before they blast stage. Mosaics could be the result of these "self-corrections in progress". If by the time you run PGT-A and it is showing aneuploid with trisomies or monosomies, there is no chance of the embryo self-correcting. If your clinic has a genetic counselor I suggest you speak with them to clarify your doubts.
Hello, thank you for your videos, they are really very good and informative. I was wondering if you could tell us a little more about the supplements you use? I have already incorporated them into my daily life. I hope they help me like they have done with you. Thank you so much...I am in Texas, USA.

Thank you for answering. I had canceled 2 times circles for eggs retrieval. I got canceled on 4th check of follicles monitor. I got frustration and can not stop my emotions 😢😢😢. I got measure able for 4 eggs and clinic looking at. at least 5 follicles . My AMH is 0.8

Sorry- going to stay in Japan. It’s difficult enough going through this with a language and culture I’ve assimilated to.. can’t imagine going through it with another entirely new culture and language I believe prices are pretty similar tho!❤❤❤
@@jamimartin381 oh don't be sorry! One thing I've learned is everyone's journey is different and you do whats best for you. Also, love Japan. Ill have to make a video about my trip there at some point🥰
USA definitely has outrageous IVF costs. This should be covered by all insurances. I’m also looking into IVF and it costs close to $20k usd in NJ. Not as much as CA but Still an exorbitant amount! I was speechless on the phone with the clinics financial consultant. Luckily my husbands job covers at least 1 round of IVF. And I hear people applying to certain companies to work just for the fertility benefits. Ugh USA do better!
I totally agree with you… I feel like healthcare is such a pain point of living in the US! Most Koreans that I know go back to Korea for any kind of medical treatments that they need because it’s more efficient there. I wish you so much luck on your first round of IVF, I hope it works the first time!! Please let me know how it goes, rooting for you💖
Thanks for this info. I'm also Korean who lives in the us, but an staying in Korea for ivf. I have national insurance, but my husband is American with no insurance. He also lives in the us and visit me once in 2-3 months. With my current situation, I wasn't able to get any government support. Do you happen to know if I can get the government support in addition to the national insurance covered?
Hi there, nice to meet you. If one of you is a Korean citizen then you qualify for government support. You have to apply for it at your district’s bogunseo office. As for your husband, it will be difficult to get him national health insurance, but it doesn’t matter too much because men don’t incur a lot of cost compared to us who are the ones who have to go through the procedure. I wish you the very best of luck in this journey, let me know if you have any other questions!❤️
@@hellynn_j Thank you so much for your response!! Sorry to bother you with more questions, but do you have an alien registration card (외국인등록증)? My husband doesn't have, and my bogenso says I won't be qualified for the support. But I wasn't sure if the person on the phone was certain about her answer. 🤔
Actually, the office didn't ask about an alien registration card. They just said since my husband doesn't pay the national insurance, we won't be qualified for the support. I don't know how he can pay the insurance, since he doesn't live here in Korea. BTW, I'm late 40s, and I wish I tried this in your age! 41 is still young and I believe you have a very good chance.

@@jamimartin381 oh don't be sorry! One thing I've learned is everyone's journey is different and you do whats best for you. Also, love Japan. Ill have to make a video about my trip there at some point🥰
USA definitely has outrageous IVF costs. This should be covered by all insurances. I’m also looking into IVF and it costs close to $20k usd in NJ. Not as much as CA but Still an exorbitant amount! I was speechless on the phone with the clinics financial consultant. Luckily my husbands job covers at least 1 round of IVF. And I hear people applying to certain companies to work just for the fertility benefits. Ugh USA do better!
I totally agree with you… I feel like healthcare is such a pain point of living in the US! Most Koreans that I know go back to Korea for any kind of medical treatments that they need because it’s more efficient there.
I wish you so much luck on your first round of IVF, I hope it works the first time!! Please let me know how it goes, rooting for you💖
Thanks for this info. I'm also Korean who lives in the us, but an staying in Korea for ivf. I have national insurance, but my husband is American with no insurance. He also lives in the us and visit me once in 2-3 months. With my current situation, I wasn't able to get any government support. Do you happen to know if I can get the government support in addition to the national insurance covered?
Wow. Well done on going 7 rounds. That's a lot of shots. You're such a super star. I'm glad you had access to subsidized treatment.
Hi there, nice to meet you. If one of you is a Korean citizen then you qualify for government support. You have to apply for it at your district’s bogunseo office. As for your husband, it will be difficult to get him national health insurance, but it doesn’t matter too much because men don’t incur a lot of cost compared to us who are the ones who have to go through the procedure. I wish you the very best of luck in this journey, let me know if you have any other questions!❤️
@@noraia2111 thank you so much, you are so kind ❤️
@@hellynn_j Thank you so much for your response!! Sorry to bother you with more questions, but do you have an alien registration card (외국인등록증)? My husband doesn't have, and my bogenso says I won't be qualified for the support. But I wasn't sure if the person on the phone was certain about her answer. 🤔
Actually, the office didn't ask about an alien registration card. They just said since my husband doesn't pay the national insurance, we won't be qualified for the support. I don't know how he can pay the insurance, since he doesn't live here in Korea.
BTW, I'm late 40s, and I wish I tried this in your age! 41 is still young and I believe you have a very good chance.
Could you let us know which clinic you went to and if they are English speaking friendly?

What about donor eggs or donor sperms in Korea? Can we get there? What about Sperm Law. I wanted to go to Turkey 🇹🇷 but government forbidden 🚫 by law about donor sperm and eggs.
Lots of Turkish specialist started ivf business in North Cyprus where donor eggs and sperm are allowed.
