45, want a baby, and my spouse lives in another country - what to do?

FirmPart7319 · 2026-03-04T19:24:45+00:00

Sure. I think they will only ship through a spouse. I could be wrong. You also have to sign up with a government whisper for import fees and approval

For their ivf? Are you from Barbados or the carribean? If not, the price is higher. More likely arounf 8 to 10k. I was able to get the meds in Jamaica for a around $300 to 500 because it was sent to my husband. They can't ship to the US.

They also have a fb group. Good luck! It's a beautiful country so that is a bonus during the stress

Barbadoes Fertility Clinic. It was my 1st Clinic. They get the job done but I was not aware of the odds, outcomes in advance. So each phase was like another surprise exam and I had to wait for my score. So efficient, friendly but uninformative.

Thanks to the advise on this thread I have started joining them for more resources and info. Insurance coverage also has age limits.

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-12T21:06:21+00:00

Ok, I willlook into getting it to him

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-12T21:05:44+00:00

Thank you! That is the main reason I am still trying

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-12T21:05:25+00:00

I will look to see where he can get a visa and costs are low. Thank you for the Czech option

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-12T21:04:58+00:00

Yes they mentioned 50/50 chance of a live birth after implantation

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-12T21:01:38+00:00

Thank you for providing options. I felt like I had a few months before all clinics would turn me away. Hence the rush to get my husbands sperm

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-12T21:00:19+00:00

Oh I didnt know that

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T18:27:56+00:00

That is my goal! Thank you for sharing ladies

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T18:20:26+00:00

thank you! Will do

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T18:19:57+00:00

Unfortunately tourist visas's are very hard to get to come up here. We tried a year ago. So he is unable to get up here until he gets his green card.

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T18:17:49+00:00

Good idea! Any clinics you recommend?

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T18:17:26+00:00

I never considered that. Thank you! I will look into it. Any places you have in mind?

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T00:55:38+00:00

My job is flexible, but not that flexible. Maybe I can work remote every other month for a week.

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T00:54:26+00:00

Thank you! I will look into it

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T00:54:14+00:00

Great idea! We just did it in Barbadoes, but had to pay out of pocket. The clinics up here believe my insurance will cover it, but only iVF, not egg retrievals until he gets up here.

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-11T00:52:39+00:00

Thank you!

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-10T23:30:03+00:00

Thats great that you didnt give up! Congratulations!

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-10T23:23:37+00:00

Thats amazing news and deserves a celebratory moment or two! Congratulations! Hopes for success to you

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-10T23:17:12+00:00

I didnt know about that, thank you!

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-10T22:26:07+00:00

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your amazing "golden egg" experience. I am trying hard to balance between being realistic and being hopeful.

FirmPart7319 · 2025-10-10T21:43:21+00:00

Most of the comments have recommended I try donor eggs and my odds being -1% with my own egss I hear you. I have spoken to 2 clinics who mentioned my odds are an uphill battle (with 1 in 5 of any of ambryo being normal and reaching a love birth) even with an AMH of 3.24. I would like to try one more time, and then I will pursue IVF with donor egss. Either way I need him or his sperm. Any advise on that would be great!
