IVF Cost at Instituto Bernabeu, Spain

One of my readers recommended this clinic as she said she was undergoing IVF with them. I sent them my list of questions regarding the IVF cost, IVF success rates and IVF procedure and received a reply the same day. This is what they have to say:

thank you very much for your interest in our clinic. It will be a pleasure answer to you, hope you will find it quite complete!
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 age of the patient is very important regarding an IVF tretament but the most important date is the result of the hormon level. We should consider that not always the age of the patient is related to the hormons level. Before confirm any proceeding we should ask for the hormon blood test  and a scan of the patient. With these results we can make a better prognosis.
Anyway our current average by success rate is 50%.
2. How many cycles do you perform per year at the clinic?
At our clinic we are performing hundreds IVF cycles considering national and international patients.
3. What is the maximum age that you treat?
It’s depends of the hormon level, for an IVF Tretament normally not over 40 yaers old and for egg donation not over 50.
4. Are there any fertility conditions that you will not treat?
The doctors should analyse the specific situation, like brest cancer or ovarian cancer i reckon you mean, or very specific desease.
5. What is your embryo transfer policy? How many embryos will you replace at one time?
The spanish law allows to transfer no more than 3 embryos, we are performing transfer of 2 good quality embryos.
6. What is the basic cost of the IVF treatment?
The basic cost of IVF is 5.000 euro ( drugs, icsi and accomodation excluded), I sent you the price list for more details.
7. What additional costs would / could be incurred?
the drugs: about 1.000 euros
the Icsi fertilization only if needed 1.000 euros.
the accomodation and flights costs.
8. What happens to the costs if the cycle has to be abandoned?
It depends on the reasons of the cancellation and as well on the time the treatment is cancelled. Each situation must be discussed with our financial dpt.
9. How long would I need to be in Spain for?
You should be in Spain for the last part of the treament until the embryotransfer, that’s mean not less than 8 days.
10. Who deals with the logistics of flights and accommodation?
We can book for you an Hotel, we have at your disposal a list with the best hotels in Alicante and we have at your disposition a personal friver from the airport to the Hotel at your arrival.
11. How is the pre-treatment carried out?
I don’t know about the pre-treatment, what do you mean with it?

You have 2 opcions, buy in Spain the drugs you need for the stimulation or get the prescripction from your IVF clinic in UK or by your gynaecologist in uk.
13. How will I be monitored?
We will prepare a daily planning of your treament, you should follow all our indications, when and at what time get the injections, when perfomr the scans…..
14. How will I know that I am not being under / over stimulated?
You won’t be any of them because we will give you the right dosis of drugs (depending on you hormonl levels) and you will perform scans almost every two days.
15. If I have a problem whilst in the UK who would I go to?
Do you mean a healty problem? Well, you are controlled by your gynaecologist almost every two days, so it must be quite safe and undercontrol

    I never thought I would agree with this opinion, but I’m starting to see things differently.

    Hello everyone,

    I proposed this clinic as I am currently undergoing treatment here and I can’t sing their praises enough. From my very first contact they have been quick and efficient. I took the option of having a firts visit via Skype with the Medical Director, Dr Bernabeu. This meant the process started a lot quicker. He was very clear and answered all my questions. The international department is in contact with me almost daily as I am undergoing preparatory treatment for an egg doantion treatment. My embryo transfer will be at the beginning of April. Fingers crossed!

    Some IVF companies are addressing this problem by donating IVF treatment cycle to couples looking to conceive. Over the past decade these groups have provided this service as a way to assist couples wanting a baby. As a result, there are several success stories of would be parents that owe their ability to have a baby to these groups and are ever grateful for the opportunity they were given.

    With the costs of IVF treatments going into the tens of thousands of dollars, there are IVF treatment centers who offer a “freebie” to partners who may be lucky enough to win the opportunity. In addition, there are treatment centers like the Cleveland Clinic offering a second treatment to couples making less than 100K who have paid for their first one but were unsuccessful.
