If you are concerned about IVF treatment costs in India, this blog is for you. Why don’t we start by understanding IVF treatment in India in brief? IVF stands for In Vitro Fertilization. The process begins with observing a woman’s ovulation and collecting eggs. Also, sperm is collected and processed so that the best quality sperm can be used to fertilise the eggs. And finally, the embryo is developed in a controlled environment and implanted into the woman’s uterus. As you know, IVF treatment is not just about the treatment; it is prior and post-treatment costs. Thus, we will discuss the aspects and factors affecting your IVF treatment cost in India. Ultrasounds Several ultrasounds are also required to monitor the woman’s follicles and eggs and whether they are ready for retrieval. Ultrasounds are essential for doctors to determine the shape and the structure of the uterus, and lining of the uterus, observe ovaries, and so on. Egg retrieval This one is the intensive process that doctors conduct after monitoring ovulation. When ovulation is triggered, the woman will undergo the egg retrieval process for IVF. Sperm preparation Whether the woman is using her partner’s sperm or donor semen, the fertility lab shall wash and treat the sperm so that the healthiest sperm are used for fertilisation. Lab testsMen and women both have to go through some tests during success of the IVF cycle. Women require blood tests for screening conditions, such as ovarian reserve, the levels of essential hormones before and during the cycle, and more. Even after embryo transfer, blood tests are required for a pregnancy check. On the other hand, semen analysis has to be done for men. Embryo culturingDoctors need to keep embryos carefully when the egg and sperm are combined for fertilisation and embryos are cultured. They also identify the highest-quality embryo before the transfer process. Embryo transfer When the embryo is 5-6 days old, the doctor will schedule the appointment for embryo transfer in the woman’s uterus. Many couples also prefer to freeze some embryos for future cycles. It may also affect the IVF treatment cost. Egg/sperm donation The costs may differ if your IVF treatment includes donated eggs or sperm. Additionally, the donated egg costs more than donated sperm, as the donor has to undergo the egg retrieval process. However, the costs shall not include the woman’s egg retrieval in this case. Hence, this is the major factor that may affect the IVF treatment cost. Conclusion If you are considering IVF treatment, you or your partner face some infertility and require medical help to have a child. This treatment costs you not only emotionally but also financially. Thus, you must consider all these processes and factors when you opt for IVF treatment.
