In Vitro Fertilization is typically a last alternative for most people. I have an understanding of this out of personal experience because my first boy was a product of the IVF treatment. As a result, I am more than suitable to write on this subject, from a patient point of view obviously, and tell you of my own experience and share with you the results of my very own research.

The objective of this article is to explain to you the costs associated with IVF and also give you a short summary of precisely what the IVF process involves in terms of medications, success rates, timeframes and so forth. I will let you in on a couple of tricks on how to save big money on the cost of IVF. Finally, I will tell you about an extraordinary new natural remedy which I discovered which to date has an incredible 100% rate of success.

It is important to briefly go over the actual IVF process prior to discussing the prices mainly because there are a few essential concepts that you will need to understand in terms of how IVF is charged. The following is the entire IVF procedure described as simply as possible. In the beginning you will be instructed to monitor your menstrual cycle so that you can monitor when you happen to be ovulating. You will then be requested to inject hormones directly into your body daily for 2-3 weeks prior to ovulation in order to supercharge your egg production. Normally, you'd only produce one or sometimes two eggs each cycle. However, this would not be sufficient for the requirements of IVF because it truly is a numbers game and in the event you run out of eggs you would have to repeat the whole hormone treatment. Trust me, this is VERY undesirable! Once you happen to be ovulating your eggs are removed and stored in the laboratory. The man comes in (absolutely no pun intended) and does his bit and then the specialist performs the magic and produces hopefully as many embryos as possible and puts them on ice. There will be some variance within this process but in essence, and particularly pertaining to the objective of this article, this particular outline is sufficient.

Quite often the prices quoted for IVF are typically supplied as per cycle. What this essentially means is that once you complete one single course of hormone treatment, you will not have to pay again if you have got a suitable amount of embryos available for implantation. The majority of the IVF cost is in the hormones you inject in order to produce your eggs and also in the extraction of these eggs. Even so, be sure to ask as some clinics charge per implantation. Other things occasionally omitted from the quoted cost consist of medication costs and monthly charges for keeping your frozen embryos. The cost of IVF per cycle can range from twelve thousand dollars per course in the United states down to two or three thousand dollars in China and India. Issues to take into consideration here are traveling costs along with possible anxiety levels. It's often best for you to be at home as you are a lot more likely to be at ease, which could have a positive effect on your success rate.

To be completely honest with you, IVF success rates are not great. Whilst I can tell you that we did get pregnant on our very first cycle, this just isn't the case for the majority of couples. The older you are, the less likely it is that you will conceive. For women under 35 the average rate of success is just below 30%. This goes down from there to just below 1% for females more than 44 years old. These are grim figures. Effectively, what this means is that more than sixty-six per cent of you will probably not succeed and in the case where you do not have any more embryos you'll be required to endure the expense and strain of yet another hormone injection cycle.

Do you have medical insurance? If you do be sure to look at your policy diligently because you might be eligible to claim a certain amount of, or perhaps sometimes the whole, cost of your IVF. I personally am certain that BUPA includes IVF in several of their healthcare insurance packages as we claimed the full cost when we went through the IVF procedure.
