I would recommend Gaia to anyone looking at ways of funding their IVF journey. They are more than just a funding option, they are a supportive community too.My husband and I weren't in a position to be able to pay the full cost of IVF upfront and Gaia was really the only option for us. The option to be able to pay it back over 8 years if you have a child is really helpful to us. I see a few reviews on here moaning about the interest rates but this is the only funding plan that offers long term finance options. You can still opt to pay it all back at once or over the first year which is interest free anyway - this is the best that places like Access Fertility offer but nowhere (other than Gaia) has options for longer time frames. We absolutely wouldn't have been able to afford IVF if Gaia wasn't around. Any loan will incur interest fees anyway so I am not sure why some find this an issue. For us having the option to pay back with interest was a massive positive.The team at Gaia are extremely helpful, very quick to respond and have a very personable and supportive nature which is hugely beneficial when going through something so stressful. They are always on the end of an email and happy to discuss anything with you and help you with any concerns.We have also taken advantage of the 12 free counselling sessions, my husband has had counselling with the Gaia therapist and she has been fantastic. I also took advantage of the embryologist session and found this massively helpful too. This is all free of charge, so you are getting way more than just a funding option by being a part of Gaia. They also send you gifts and notes in the post and are just generally there throughout the journey with you.Other benefits of going with Gaia over someone like Access Fertility is that they cover all your basic medication so you don't have to worry about that, and unlike Access you don't have to transfer all frozen embryos before moving on to another fresh round which means you are more flexible with your decisions. They also have support groups on social media and organise in person meet ups too.Personally, Gaia would be my recommendation to anyone looking to do IVF whether they can afford the upfront cost or not, it really is an insurance programme and covers you for so many aspects of the journey. It takes out the stress of the uncertain from a financial point of view and supports you in so many other ways too.Big five stars for Gaia!
