What it is in simple terms: 

It's common in Nepal for partners to work abroad, resulting in long periods of separation physically. We understand how challenging this can be for you as a couple.

Impact on Pregnancy: 

Being apart makes it difficult to time intercourse with the woman’s ovulation—a crucial aspect of natural conception.

How We Can Support You:  

We empathize with your unique circumstances and strive to provide flexible solutions:

• Optimizing visits: If visits can be coordinated, we will assist you in timing them perfectly with ovulation or for procedures like IUI (intrauterine insemination).
• IVF as a great option: IVF often presents an ideal solution, allowing us better control over timing. The male partner can travel briefly for sperm collection, or even have sperm frozen and sent, while the female partner undergoes egg retrieval and embryo transfer at our clinic.
