IVF Cost at Centro de Reprodução Humana de Campinas, Brazil – great information
Many years ago (or should I say decades – ugh, sometimes these things make you realise how old you are getting!) I visited Brazil and thoroughly enjoyed it. So here I have gathered some information on the IVF cost, IVF success rate and IVF procedure from the Centro de Reprodução Humana de Campinas in Brazil. The response to my IVF cost letter is shown below.
Thank you very much for your message. Your questions are very important for us. I am glad to answer all of them and feel comfortable to ask for more ones if you want to. I am pleased to give you the authorization to insert in your blog this information.
The answers for your questions are below:
1. What is the current success rate for your clinic? (preferably by age as I know that the success rate will be much lower for somebody of my age)
The mean pregnancy rate for all ages in 2008 was 53%/transfer. Above 30 years goes to 60%, over 40 years drops to 22%.
2. How many cycles do you perform per year at the clinic?
Over 300 cycles. Not counting transfers of defrosted embryos.
3. What is the maximum age that you treat?
We do not have a maximum. The limits are ovarian reserve or use of donated oocytes.
4. Are there any fertility conditions that you will not treat?
No.
5. What is your embryo transfer policy? How many embryos will you replace at one time?
We follow Brazilian policy were it is stated that we are not allowed to transfer more than four embryos. But our preference is to transfer no more than two embryos. Between this number the couple has the right to give the final decision in number of embryos.
6. What is the basic cost of the IVF treatment?
Actual cost of an IVF cycle is R$ 8.000,00 (Brazilian currency) + medicines (approximately US$ 4,000.00). Think as 1US$ = R$ 2,40 (always changing). The price for R$ 8.000,00 includes ultrasound, IVF lab, aesthesis and embryo transfer.
7. What additional costs would / could be incurred?
We charge for embryo freezing R$ 1.000,00 a tax for embryo storage (about US$ 500.00). Every couple needs to have a set of laboratory exams (HIV, type B hepatitis, etc) at a cost of R$ 400,00 each partner (about US$ 200.00).
8. What happens to the costs if the cycle has to be abandoned?
Half of the R$ 8.000,00 will be returned to the patient.
9. How long would I need to be in Brazil for?
Beginning the preparation abroad, woman will have to stay in Brazil for 14 – 21 days. Their husband will need to stay only a few days (oocyte aspiration day).
10. Who deals with the logistics of flights and accommodation?
I have in my office an assistant, her name is Vilma Zotareli, she is fluent in English and she can help you out with any travel arrangement. We also have a travel agency which can make all the necessary arragements flight, ground transportation and accomodation.
11. How is the pre-treatment carried out?
Couple needs to bring the exams from abroad or collect them at our clinic. Will start using contraceptive pill for at list 10 days before arriving at our clinic. They will star medication immediately this day.
12. How do I get medication?
All medications are offered by our clinic. But patients are free to get them somewhere else (distributors).
13. How will I be monitored?
We monitor follicular development by ultrasound only.
14. How will I know that I am not being under / over stimulated?
Your control will be made buy ultrasound. According to this information we decide over the medication.
15. If I have a problem whilst in the UK who would I go to?
We will carry out any complication happened in Brazil.
16. Is the clinic registered with any regulatory body?
Yes, we take part of the RED LATINOAMERICANA DE REPRODUCCION ASSISTIDA, by ANVISA (Brazilian Government Agency) and Brazilian Federal Medicine Council (CFM).
17. How long is the waiting list for IVF treatment?
No wait at all.
Please let me know if you need any further information.

I live in the us and plan visiting Brasil next year in hopes of two things; getting married and getting pregnate. I have met a wonderful brasilian who has no children and I have no tubes to get pregnate naturally. Were deffinately getting married but I think it would be icing on the wedding cake if I could get pregnate too. Can you please send me your prices on the whole process. Thank you. Tiffany Foster
