3) Start of treatment and ovulation monitoring.
4) Egg retrieval under general anesthetic.
5) Embryo Transfer (ET) on the third to fifth day.
6) Pregnancy test 14 days after ET.
Factors that determine the variable costs in IVF treatments
Sometimes and especially with patients that have had many failed IVF attempts or have unexplained infertility, the IVF treatment is not as straightforward as collecting eggs and obtaining a semen sample.
- Men with no, little or a high rate of abnormal sperms in semen might need to do a testicular biopsy which is a surgical procedure on its own and increases the IVF treatment costs.
- The husband suffers from Erectile Dysfunction (ED) due to diabetes or high blood pressure this needs to be treated before undergoing an IVF cycle or a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) or testicular biopsy could be done. Costs for any of these options of course add to the costs of IVF
- Women who suffer from endometriosis, which causes major fertility problems and globally affects about 176 million women. These women might need treatment before starting like an operative laparoscopy or open surgery.
- Patient has a hydrosalpinx; this is when there is a stenosis or blockage in the fallopian tube and a collection of fluid accumulates. If this fluid seeps through the tubal ostia to the uterine cavity it could harm possible implantation or embryo development. This condition needs intervention by hysteroscopy, laparoscopy before going through an IVF cycle to increase the chances for a positive outcome.
- Extra medical examinations that increase the cost of IVF, this can be blood tests, genetic tests, imaging, immunological tests, etc.
- Suspected intrauterine adhesions polyps or fibroids might require a hysteroscopy or open surgery prior to the IVF cycle
- Sex Selection (gender selection); this requires an extra test to be performed on each embryo prior to transfer to determine the embryos’ sex. This comes with extra costs above those of the IVF procedure.
- The medical team and hospital of choice are an important factor that determine the eventual costs of your IVF cycle. Experience, a multidisciplinary approach, embryology lab, equipment, facilities etc. Bedaya Hospital does not compromise the success of your IVF cycle and gives you the best quality of everything to increase your chances of realizing your dreams of having a family.
