Yep..your right there

I find it interesting that with women 41-42, the Oregon clinic is #1 in birth rates.. And yes wow look at how cheap the costs are for treatment in other countries!! Even canada is half what it costs in the US!

I know the doctors in the US will tout their success rates, but honestly at 1500 a pop if it doesnt work you can do 10 more for the same price as one in the US!

I would have jumped on it much sooner if we had a plan like you are getting. I have been quoted from $20-$30k, lol. When I made the comment about deciding between IVF and DD's college education, the price is why.

Does anybody know if you can just go to Canada and have a cycle done, how does it work, do you have to stay there for the whole time your being treated? So if it takes two weeks, you stay there for two weeks, or do you go back and forth?

 

[dachsundmom]

Just shoot me...my clinic, using the calculator, says I have a 70% chance of needing more than one round and the estimated cost was $23k, per round. $7k less than the clinic actually quoted me, but damn.

It estimated that I would need $70k worth of IVF at this place. OMFG.

Here in Quebec, the goverment covers 3 cycles of IVF, and all of the testing and meds fall under the provencial medical plan....[in the event a person's extended health coverage from work does not cover it].

I am shocked by the prices though .

 

[Jennjenn]

I read an article about a woman who went to South Africa from the states...she needed to stay there minimum of 4 weeks to go through all the testing, monitoring, etc. Once she had her IVF, if it didn't take she was planning to stay for another 4 weeks to try with remaining frozen embryoes, if she had any.

I didn't read the article, but I honestly don't trust any IVF success statistics.

The most successful places are very picky about the patients that they will treat. Meaning that they may refuse to treat someone because of their age, health history, etc, because if it doesn't result in a pregnancy, it will ruin the statistics.

Of course, not all facilities are like that. But, how else can you explain such a large range of success rates (I looked into this some time ago. Rates varied considerably). Those places that are boosting large success rates are from women in their 20s with male factor, for example. It's not a place with a high percentage of women that are AMA with endo, PCOS, etc.

Do they give live birth rates or only pregnancy rates? Remember, there is a big difference. You want to look for live birth rates.

 

[Indigo77]

Ready......look at the website.....Yes, they look at live birth rates, and break down the statistics by age....

DMom....We can go to the UK or India.....

Can u get away from your business for that long?

I have looked at a clinic in India....and they require 2 weeks....someone else thought it was the same in the UK....

I don't think we would do this for more than 1 cycle....and we would do it with ICSI....Success rates are higher with ICSI, even when there is no male factor infertility involved...

What I don't understand is the 'unexplained' infertility....I don't understand the diagnosis, nor do I understand why they give such low success rates....I mean, doesn't unexplained mean there is nothing wrong with the couple?

Do it again with another clinic...one with better success rates....Are you 'unexplained'?.....whatever that means....

Personally, I felt it was more a matter of them not being able to find what was wrong. It doesn't mean that nothing is wrong. Everything that they are looking for seems fine. They just don't know what else to look for, because it hasn't been discovered yet. Just my take. I've been unexplained. . .twice. Well, maybe now it's more 'explained' just due to my age.

 

[readyformore]

I just checked it out for myself.

I'd have a 60% chance of needing more than 1 cycle. $24,000 for 2 cycles. 1 cycle was around $14,000. My insurance covers $15,000 of fertility treatments, so I cycle I guess.

My particular clinic wasn't even mentioned, so I just guessed.

 

[Mon_n_john]

Very cool find! My clinic is actually #19 for my age group which is 35. Their success rate seems to be 53%, not bad! The estimator figured it would cost about $12,800 for 1 cycle but I know they have cheaper rates than that. I really doubt I would ever need IVF since I get pregnant on my own but it's good to know.

 

[dachsundmom]

Yes, I am unexplained as well; it just means that no one can figure out what the hell is wrong and how to treat it.

 

[Mon_n_john]

Dmom, have you ever been to someone else for a second opinion? Maybe a fresh set of eyes would help.

 

[Indigo77]

Good for you!

You should know, however, that women who are able to get pregnant on their own, but are unable to sustain the pregnancy, opt for IVF so that they can do PGD...(test fertilized eggs for chromosonal disorders and then transfer only the good eggs back into uterus)
