The decision to start IVF treatment (abroad) is a big step. It requires not only careful planning, but also mental well-being and peace of mind. And summer can be the best time to embark on this important journey. At Unica clinics in Prague and Brno, we often meet patients in summer who have combined the start of their treatment with a pleasant stay in the Czech Republic - and you could be next.
Summer brings a range of benefits that can support both your body and your mind throughout your fertility treatment:
- Less stress: Summer is often a time of fewer work obligations and more rest. A relaxed body and mind can positively impact the IVF process.
- More flexibility: With easier access to appointment slots and shorter waiting times, summer allows you to start your treatment faster and plan around your personal schedule.
- Combine IVF with vacation: In between appointments or procedures, you can explore the beauty of the Czech Republic: from castles and vineyards to spa towns and charming old towns.
