Continue reading to learn more about the IVF process and determine if IVF is right for you.
What is IVF?
In vitro fertilization, or IVF, is the process of manually combining sperm with an egg in a laboratory dish for fertilization. The embryo is then transferred to the uterus. IVF is often used to treat infertility due to a decreased sperm motility or sperm count, ovulation disorders or uterine fibroids, or with individuals who suffer from a genetic disorder that results in infertility.
From stimulation to retrieval, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a four-step process, which may be the best option for you and your partner. A consultation allows you to review all your pregnancy options and decide what next steps to take.
How Long is the Entire IVF Process?
Starting from the time of the initial consult with the doctor, it takes about 4-6 weeks, on average, to go through the treatment process. However, a pregnancy will not usually occur until approximately 8 weeks after the first consultation. If you’re aiming for a pregnancy within a certain month, consider this timespan when planning.
How Much Does IVF Cost?
Only 30% of most health insurance plans cover IVF, although they frequently cover a workup and subsequent diagnosis of fertility problems. The good news is that treating infertility at Red Rock Fertility is much more affordable than you think, with programs like a “lay-away” payment program, financing options through local banks, and specialized financial counselors for personalized budgeting.
Is IVF For Everybody?
Not everyone is a good candidate for IVF. Some women can get pregnant on their own or with minimal assistance. It’s best to explore all alternative options first. Prior to undergoing the IVF procedure, there are several diagnostic tests which are performed:
A semen analysis is required for the male to measure the sperm count, check how they’re shaped, and see how well they’re moving. With this analysis, the doctor can check for any abnormalities.
For the female, an egg quality assessment is performed on the third day of the menstrual cycle. During an ultrasound, the doctor will count the number eggs on each ovary and match it with the FHS level. FHS is a follicle stimulating hormone produced by the brain responsible for developing the egg every month. This will determine where a woman is in her fertility status.
How to Decide if IVF is Right for You
Fertility treatment is a complicated process, so choosing the right fertility center is important if you want to ensure that your money is well-spent. In Vitro Fertilization or IVF requires the use of specialized and expensive equipment as well as a staff of professionals who are trained to handle each step of the process from start to finish.
The decision to undergo fertility treatments can be a stressful one. When you factor in the potential costs of those treatments, that decision can become overwhelming. Only 30% of most health insurance plans cover IVF, although they frequently cover a workup and subsequent diagnosis of fertility problems. The good news is that treating infertility is much more affordable than you think.
