    • Thank you Adangor, I know you will like this article about your beloveth city and hometown. Port harcourt rocks!Pls do share with others.

  1. Pls Dr, can you write on on the fertility clinics in Abuja? I like you candid analysis of the various ivf centres. I and my wife want to try out ivf in Abuja where we are based. Thank you.

  2. Nobel hospital has many weaknesses, they don’t do proper test before the procedure, they tell you 600k but at the end if the day you spend over 700k, his success rate is very poor as he group women in batches and can attend to over 25 women in a batch, very unprofessional. He doesn’t tell you the eggs retrieved, I really don’t know why

    • I have taken my little time to study some centres including noble medical consultants and fertility hospital. Amara I don’t think you have the right information about the noble because so many women are smiling home with positive results.
      We really need to be objective in our analysis and comments other than coming to tarnish someone’s image and reputation

    • I have had my own experiences with ivf centres in port Harcourt and contrary to Amara’s comment, i rate Noble and Gynascope amongest the best, they are result oriented. Follow up on patients is amaizing and their success rate is quite impressive

  3. Please is there any fertility clinic in Port Harcourt, that does pregenetic testing for gender selection?. Please I need a response.

    • The IVF success rate at Care Women’s Clinic is is published. Tough they published their successful IVF testimonies.
      Success rate means for every 10 women that had ICSI/IUI/IVF how many of them got pregnant and delivered successfully.
      Some experts use every 100 women.
      Read an experts candid advice on IVF success rate and choice of IVF clinics below
      IVF success rate: the truth, the lies.

  4. Gynescope is good, and Dr Jude (GMD) is good at his job and very caring, but the staffs are not too professional, the clinic is ok and at a very good location. we had two attempt there with no success story. the clinic should brace up their after service follow up for those that are not successful and encourage them.

    The Bridge is a good clinic, professional doctors and staffs, they will call you regularly to know how you are fairing and their after service follow up is still very good compare to Gynescope. They will call and continue to encourage you when you had an unsuccessful story.

  5. Pls which hospital pays the highest for egg donation and blood like 350 and above, udomoh eshemokha pls answer. Then blood like 7000 and above.

  6. Green care medical consultants is one of the best center for fertility cases, with high success rate. Two people I know very well came back smiling with twin gestation. Please i recommend any one with fertility challenge to visit there. And is affordable.
