Fertility Treatment Financing
Fertility treatments put a strain on the finances of any family. If they achieve success and give birth to a child, they now lack substantial savings. Don’t let this happen to you. Contact us, at Pay My Medical, to see how we can help you. We are experts in fertility treatment financing.
How much do fertility treatments cost?
Fertility treatments vary in cost. This variation is dependent on what type of treatment a patient seeks. Fertility drugs alone cost roughly $1500-$3000 per cycle. If a patient undergoes IVF, the cost swells to $15,000 or more per cycle. The definition of a cycle is the patient’s menstrual period. If the patient is not pregnant after one cycle, you repeat treatment until the patient becomes pregnant or can not withstand any more treatments.
Many small costs crop up during treatment. If you use donor sperm from a male friend, there are costs involved in testing that sperm for diseases. If you use a donor egg, this is an additional expense of 2000+ dollars, in addition to the cost of implantation. The expenses add up quickly, and the cost of your treatment can change as it progress.
Types of fertility treatments
These are the primary methods of treatment a patient can use:
Intrauterine insemination - the sperm of the patient’s partner is inserted directly into the patient while she is ovulating.
Fertility drugs - the patient injects themselves with a drug that stimulates egg production.
In vitro fertilization - the patient’s egg is removed from their body, fertilized with sperm, developed into embryos, then implanted back into the patient’s uterus.
Our fertility treatment financing covers the services as mentioned above.
The success rate of fertility treatments
Success rates of fertility treatments vary based on multiple factors. The most significant factor involved in a woman's fertility is her age. Eggs deteriorate with age. The older the female patient, the less likely she is to conceive. Eggs are in their prime when women are in their 20’s. Once a woman is in her 30’s, fertility declines at 3% or so per year. Once a woman hits 40, her ability to conceive is low.
Fertility treatments help women who struggle to conceive immensely. But the treatments have the highest success rates in women who are at the peak of their fertility. The success rate also depends on the method utilized. IVF has a higher success rate than intrauterine insemination. A woman must consider those factors as she embarks on this journey.
Options if fertility treatments fail
For a couple who want a child, there are options if fertility treatments fail. If the fertility issue only lies with one partner, there is the option for donor sperm or a donor egg. Couples can also work with a surrogate. In that situation, another woman carries and delivers the child created from the patient’s embryos. There is also adoption.
