Hi, does anyone know any long distance fertility clinics that do egg retrieval long distance?
ETA QFP
Like....retrieve your eggs from 500 miles away?
Did storing YH's sperm in the freezer not work for you?
It does work, but this way is easier.
Oh lord here we go.

Can I be bitter about this for a sec. It's just not fair that IVF is "easier" for someone who doesn't want to buy a plane ticket to go see her fiance David and do it the old fashioned way, because somehow she has magical insurance that covers it. At the same time, there are people putting their life on hold to save money and getting second mortgages to just have one shot at a baby.
There's no way this is real. If I were "David" I don't know that I would want to give my sperm to someone who didn't want to buy a plane ticket to visit me. Just sayin.
@Mommietobe2016 wow!!!! Freezer sperm, 15k for IVF, and “long distance egg retrieval”...how can one person be so lucky????? Sounds like you’re all set and don’t need to blow up TTGP anymore.
I just talked to any fertility clinic and they said they could do it!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Imagine being in a long distance relationship and being just like welp I guess we'll do ivf! This troll doesn't lie well at all.

I love it when this wonderful individual shows up... every few months like clockwork. It always makes me feel soooo happy inside. I mean, I standardly have nothing better to do than to get on PG forums and to make fun of women who are unable to have children for whatever reason. I mean, that totes makes me feel like a much better person.
I also take personal joy in the amazing rules that we have on this forum that allows the BGs to ignore amazing commentors like this that just really raise the class and beauty of a site like this, while banning individuals who are devoted and caring and loving on this site. I mean, it really just goes the extra mile to really just show us where we all stand in life.
As an added bonus... some Maggie Smith being her amazing self:

@tamalahoops do you think it’s a normal troll or a biotex troll? I mean if flying to David is too much trouble, the next obvious thing if she retrieves some eggs would be to come on and ask if we know of any Ukrainian surrogates...
