how long does it take to become pregnant after IVF? and what is the cost?

Question

is there any payment planes for IVF? will my insurance cover anything?and is it worth it?

Answer 1

1) Nobody knows how long it will take a couple to get pregnant doing IVF (if they get pregnant at all). It is quite a gamble. I have frequented an IVF chatroom over the past two years and I would say that approximately 25% of the women who do IVF get PG on the 1st cycle. Another 45% seem to get pregnant on the 2nd or 3rd cycle, and about 30% have to do many IVF cycles to get PG, or never get PG at all. My husband and I have no known factors, and it took us 3 IVF cycles to get PG, so you just never know.

2) The usual cost of an IVF cycle runs anywhere from $5,000-$15,000 for the medical/doctor costs. My cycle cost $6,000. Then, you have to include the price of the medications, which can run from $1,000-$3,000 per cycle. Mine usually ran around $1,500, since I had a pretty simple drug protocol. Additional services based on your fertility problem like ICSI for low sperm count, assisted hatching for "tough" eggs, donor eggs or sperm can add thousands to the cost.

3) Fertility clinics require full payment for the cycle before it begins. There are some credit places out there that do IVF loans, but the interest rate is not great. Most people I know either get a low-interest rate credit card, and put the total on that, or save before they do the procedure. You can also do a Shared Risk plan which is expensive (usually $20,000 or more) that will cover three or four cycles. If you don't have a baby by the end of your cycles, you can get a big chunk ($18,000) back to pursue adoption if you want.

4) Some insurance covers all of IVF procedures, and some covers part of it. Most cover none. The best way to find out is to ask your human resources rep.

5) Is IVF worth it? That usually depends on your outcome. If you get pregnant in one cycle, and only end up paying $8,000, the answer is probably yes. If you do 6 cycles, go into debt $100,000, and still end up without a baby, probably no. I am finally pregnant after my 3rdIVF, and even though we spent a fortune ($40,000) on the IVFs alone, it is worth it to me. I wanted to be a mother, and adoption was not an option for us, so I was OK with going into debt to have the chance of making my dream come true.

But unfortunately, you will never know if it was worth it or not until you have done it and can see the results.

My friend when through IVF. The cost was 12,000, That also includes the drugs you would need to take and there was no payment plan each doctor is different. The insurance will not cover IVF. Most insurance will cover 50% of an IUI.

IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment is very cheap in India. The cost is very low and the medical services are very good in India.

My cousin and her husband got their IVF treatment in India through the Forerunners Healthcare in India and is all praise for this company. She is a known case of PCOS.She is a very happy mother of a baby boy now. She just paid 2500 pounds for the full IVF treatment in India for which she was quoted 8000 pounds in private setup in UK.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the newspapers. I have also read about a Chinese couple who planned surrogacy through the Forerunners Healthcare. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery and infertility treatment like IVF, IUI, and ICSI abroad for low price. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery and treatment can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Answer 5

Only you can determine whether or not it's worth it. It's not easy on your body, certainly, or your mind.

Different fertility centers will have different arrangements for financing, and your insurance may or may not cover fertility treatment. It happens, for example, that mine covers benefits up to a a certain amount of money, but only certain parts of the treatment. You'll have to check with them about whether they cover fertility benefits and what they cover.
