Success Story
Bringing Hope Home: How Emma and Leo Became Parents Through IVF in China
This is a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only
Patient Profile
Names: Emma (36) and Leo (38) – pseudonyms
Location: Wellington, New Zealand
Diagnosis: Unexplained infertility
Situation: 3+ years of trying, long waitlist for IVF in NZ public system
The Challenge
Emma and Leo had been trying to start a family for over three years. Multiple tests revealed no specific cause — just unexplained infertility.
They were placed on a public IVF waiting list in New Zealand but were told they might need to wait 9–12 months for their first treatment cycle.
At age 36, Emma was running out of time — emotionally and biologically.
The Turning Point
Frustrated but still hopeful, the couple reached out to us after hearing about more accessible IVF options overseas.
Within two weeks:
-
We arranged a remote consultation with a fertility specialist at a renowned reproductive hospital in Shanghai
-
We translated Emma’s hormone test and ultrasound reports for the medical team
-
A personalized IVF plan was developed, and Emma was prescribed stimulation medication to begin in New Zealand
-
We coordinated their flights, accommodation, and clinic schedule in Shanghai
The Treatment Journey
Emma and Leo arrived in Shanghai with our bilingual companion meeting them at the airport. Over the next 3 weeks:
-
Daily clinic visits for hormone monitoring and scans
-
Our team helped navigate appointments, explain procedures, and translate doctor instructions
-
Emma underwent egg retrieval, and several healthy embryos were successfully fertilized
-
One high-quality embryo was transferred — and two others were frozen
-
Emma and Leo flew home 10 days later, cautiously optimistic
Outcome
-
Two weeks after returning to New Zealand, they received the news they had been hoping for:
-
Emma was pregnant.
-
The couple later welcomed a healthy baby girl. Their joy was indescribable.
Emma Says
“We went from feeling helpless to hopeful. The care in Shanghai was world-class, and we never felt lost — someone was always there guiding us. This changed our lives forever.”
Why This Matters
IVF is a deeply emotional and time-sensitive journey. With the right support, patients like Emma and Leo don’t have to wait in uncertainty — they can move forward with hope and confidence.
Estimated Cost Summary
Category:Approximate Cost (NZD)
IVF treatment in China: $10,000 – $15,000
Travel & accommodation: $4,000 – $6,000
Support services: $3,000 – $5,000
Total: $17,000 – $26,000
This was 30–40% less than private IVF options in New Zealand — with significantly shorter wait time.
* Estimated total cost depends on hospital, procedure, and support level.
We work with both private hospitals (like Shanghai United Family Hospital) and top-tier public institutions to suit different budgets and needs.
