This time next month we'll be arriving in Delhi, India. Not something we were planning on at all - but under the recommendation of our Dr., we've been advised that a fresh sample would be better than shipping the frozen goods. All things considered we'll have a greater likelihood of success if we can be there in person. We're going through all of this to start a family after all, so we may as well do what's right.
In the end, I know there are going to be advantages to going to Delhi in person aside from the medical reasons. We'll get to familiarize ourselves with Delhi, get to meet the Dr. and everyone else at the clinic, and get to squeeze in a trip to Agra to see the Taj Mahal (which is something we won't be able to do on our next trip to pick up the baby). This will certainly take the stress out of our second and more important trip :-)
Fortunately, Darren and I work for an amazing company that is accommodating our last minute need to travel. We both have 6 weeks vacation per year and are carrying over 2 weeks, so vacation time is not going to be a concern.
So - the plane tickets have been purchased, the hotel has been booked, and everything is quickly coming together. Just need to get our VISAs and we'll be all set.
Good luck! Please don't take the train in India, get a driver to Agra.
