It's really nice to hear some good news stories here, especially from Serum. Congratulations to all you ladies.
She did an article with Evoke.ie (I think) and tusla were contacted, saying that BMI is only one factor they consider.How did tusla deny that? Were they asked, is that a bit far?
Thank you, great responseFor a full cycle you need about 10 days. It makes sense financially if you time it to go from Sept to April/may. Accommodation is cheap if you go Airbnb and you can eat out cheaply. The metro is cheap and super easy to use and taxis are not expensive.Summer is expensive for flights last minute and Accommodation but you can make a holiday out of it.
There really aren't any extras either. A couple of blood tests maybe. The drugs payment scheme still allows Greek prescriptions as its in the EU.
Yeah it's a rubbish reason especially since BMI is a mathematical equation and is not a reflection on someone's health. But tusla is full of rubbish reasonsI’m really not sure BMI is a very fair reason to rule out fosterers tbh, unless they’re so big they’re basically disabled?
I think it’s very unfair ! So many kids waiting to be fosteredI’m really not sure BMI is a very fair reason to rule out fosterers tbh, unless they’re so big they’re basically disabled?
I know a friend of mine looked into fostering at one stage. If I recall rightly, one foster parent needs to be a stay at home parent. I suppose if she was a SAHM, she would need someone to support her financially…Yeah it's a rubbish reason especially since BMI is a mathematical equation and is not a reflection on someone's health. But tusla is full of rubbish reasons
Sorry - to clarify, the BMI was for adopting. I can't remember why she was turned down for fostering
Ohhh for sure many do it for the money which is disgusting!!I know of somebody who did fostering here for the money, which is just awful. Tulsa’s criteria is a very blunt tool. I’m sure some amazing people are being turned down while other’s who simply tick the boxes and are doing it for the wrong reasons are being approved.
Same here, they get to keep their social welfare payment and medical card and rake in approx 350 per child. They currently have 2 teens. They get extra money to buy them birthday and Christmas presents and school needs also.I know of somebody who did fostering here for the money, which is just awful.

Do you need to get tests done before and then it’s 10 days over there for the actual fertility treatment or do you go before that and then go back again for it??For a full cycle you need about 10 days.

I’m not sure how much you get in Ireland but having had many friends foster in the UK, I can assure you they aren’t doing it for any financial gain! It cost them a fortune to change areas of their home just to pass the health and safety check to be allowed to foster. Definitely not for the faint hearted!Ohhh for sure many do it for the money which is disgusting!!
It depends. The first visit you’ll normally go for 2 or 3 days and do multiple investigations which can include a hysteroscopy or laparoscopy. For a full fresh cycle you’d need roughly 10 days between doing an egg collection and hopefully getting to day 5 transfer. If you’re only doing egg collection or an FET it would be less. You can do some of the tests here if easier as well ie for egg collection you need bloods done and an ECG dated within six months. For my last round I got the ECG done by my GP.Do you need to get tests done before and then it’s 10 days over there for the actual fertility treatment or do you go before that and then go back again for it??
Yep I know a pair of siblings who were raised by foster parents and basically ignored for their entire childhoods. They went zero contact with the foster parents as soon as they could.I know 3 familys locally that do it for the money they give the kids no stability its been reported to both tulsa and the guards although the guards took ot seriously tulsa on the other hand could give 2 monkeys, the kids running around the place at 11 at night there no older than 10 or 11, we looked into fostering but we got pregnant and that cancelled us out
Gave you been trying for a while ?Ladies this is off topic but there’s a lot of people here that might offer me advice. Thinking of IVF, age 40 so it’s the route I need to take. Can anyone offer recommendations on a good clinic, who actually care and will give it the best shit? Not just out to grab all your money and be a number.
Most of the women that go to serum end up travelling on their own for some/most of their trips. Even with a partner they usually don't have annual leave or alot may already have a child that they can't bring. It's the other girls in the whatapps that provide the support and laughs to get you through.Ah god I really feel for Olwyn on her own in Greece. I can see now why she leans on the Serum team so much
