IVF Cost at UMR, Switzerland
Three days after sending my letter requesting information on the IVF cost, IVF success rate and IVF procedure to UMR in Switzerland I received an acknowledgement. Since the doctor was away at the time I received the replies to my questions nine days after this when she returned. Unfortunately I am over their maximum age limit of 42, which seems to be the age limit across Switzerland.
The website for UMR can be found here.
Since the answers are brief these are the questions that I asked:
- 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)
- How many cycles do you perform per year at the clinic?
- What is the maximum age that you treat?
- Are there any fertility conditions that you will not treat?
- What is your embryo transfer policy? How many embryos will you replace at one time?
- What is the basic cost of the IVF treatment?
- What additional costs would / could be incurred?
- What happens to the costs if the cycle has to be abandoned?
- How long would I need to be in Switzerland for?
- Who deals with the logistics of flights and accommodation?
- How is the pre-treatment carried out?
- How do I get medication?
- How will I be monitored?
- How will I know that I am not being under / over stimulated?
- If I have a problem whilst in the UK who would I go to?
- Is the clinic registered with any regulatory body?
I have added the approximate costs in US$ in red.
