    1. Hi,

      I’m interested in going abroad to a foreign fertility clinic, preferably US. What do you recommend? My tubes are blocked and I’m not sure which treatment fits me best. Would be IUI possible?

      Thank you!

      • Hi Sunset!

        It is not possible to perform artificial insemination if the fallopian tubes are blocked, as the egg and sperm will not meet. In these cases, the recommended treatment is in vitro fertilization (IVF), so that fertilization takes place in the laboratory and the embryos generated are transferred to the woman’s uterus.

        If you need personalized advice from the clinics in your area of interest that meet our quality criteria, I recommend you access the Fertility Report. This way, you will receive information on costs, services included and treatment options.

        Hope this helps,

        Best
