Holiday Tube Baby:

Holiday tube baby application; An application planned for patients who will come from abroad or those working to ensure them both taking their holiday and performing their tube baby treatment. Our patients inform us that they will participate in this application before they come and then airway tickets, accommodation places and a trip program during the course of treatment are organized. By this way, our patients can both take their holiday and attempt to have a child. Short period trip programs are also organized for patients who are both in scope of treatment and desire to make a holiday.
The greatest fear experienced by our patients during 15-20 days of treatment period is to fail. Holiday tube baby will be the most correct application to go away from this fear and cope with stress.
