Common Questions
What is IVF and how does it work?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology where eggs are retrieved from ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus. IVF is used to treat various fertility issues including blocked fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility. A typical IVF cycle takes 4-6 weeks from start to finish.
What are typical IVF success rates?
IVF success rates vary primarily by age: under 35 (40-55% per cycle), 35-37 (35-40%), 38-40 (25-35%), 41-42 (15-25%), over 42 (5-15%). Other factors affecting success include ovarian reserve, embryo quality, uterine receptivity, and clinic expertise. Most patients require multiple cycles to achieve pregnancy.
How much does IVF cost?
A single IVF cycle in the US typically costs $12,000-$17,000 for the procedure plus $3,000-$7,000 for medications. Additional costs may include ICSI ($1,500), PGT testing ($5,000), frozen embryo transfers ($3,500), and embryo storage ($500-$1,000/year). Some states mandate insurance coverage, while others require out-of-pocket payment.
How long does an IVF cycle take?
A complete IVF cycle typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on the protocol. Antagonist protocols are shortest at 3-4 weeks, while long protocols can take 6-8 weeks including suppression. The stimulation phase lasts 8-14 days, followed by egg retrieval, fertilization, and transfer 3-5 days later. Pregnancy testing occurs 9-14 days after transfer.
