IVF Cost

I have had a very thorough reply to my IVF Cost Letter from Medicana International Hospital IVF Center – Istanbul, Turkey. Their prices certainly seem reasonable.

The contact details for the clinic are:

Address: Beylikduzu Street No 3, Beylikduzu, Istanbul, Turkey

Phone: +90 212 867 79 18

Website: http://www.turkey-ivf.com

Here is their response:

The questions I have regarding treatment at your clinic are:

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)

 Here are our cumulative pregnancy rates in the following format.

 2. How many cycles do you perform per year at the clinic?

Between 900-1000 patients

3. What is the maximum age that you treat?

We do not accept patients older than 45 years of age for ivf treatment.

4. Are there any fertility conditions that you will not treat?

If  woman’s  FSH is higher  than 20 mIU/ml at day 3, or male  has been undergone micro TESE operation before and sperms not found, we do not start IVF treatment. Besides, we do not try tubal re-anastomosis operation in tubal blockage cases since our IVF success rates are quite high.

5. What is your embryo transfer policy? How many embryos will you replace at one time?

We do not transfer more than two embryos, since we believe that transferring more than two embryos only increases multiple pregnancy rate.  Also we offer to transfer only one good quality blastocyst in first trial to young patients (<35 years of age) , but it is the decision of the couple.

6. What is the basic cost of the IVF treatment?

Our Package Prices are as follows;

Option 1 £ 1500

IVF / ICSI  Package
Including all exams, ultrasound, blood tests
Assisted Hatching ( With Laser) Included
IMSI ( In severe male factor cases) Included 

Freezing Excess Embryos ( With Vitrification )           £ 250

All cycle costs are package costs and include all the ultrasound scans, anaesthetic charges, doctor’s fees and post-op recovery where applicable.
At the time of egg collection, if there are no eggs or failed fertilisation, we refund £ 300 for cancellation of embryo  transfer.
Pregnancy scans are charged separately.
Medication costs are charged separately and can vary from patient to patient. Patients are requested to buy the drugs from the pharmacy themselves

Option 2 £ 2350 

Option 1 + all drugs and medications until embryo transfer

Option 3 £ 3250

Option 2 +  freezing the extra embryos and also a 20 night accommodation in a flat and airport transfers. Flat is fully furnished and very near to our Hospital (in walking distance).

7. What additional costs would / could be incurred?

If you have embryo(s) frozen, the cost of storage after one year is 120  £ annually

 TESA  280 £

Sperm freezing 150 £

 Micro TESE 550 £

8. What happens to the costs if the cycle has to be abandoned?

If the stimulation protocol is cancelled due to failure of follicular growth, we charge only examinations and blood tests. If embryo transfer is cancelled due to fertilization failure or embryonic development  arrest, we refund £ 350 for cancellation of embryo transfer.

9. How long would I need to be in Turkey  for?

If we will start the treatment at second or third day of the mensturation, it will probably last in 15-20 days with the embryo transfer.

10. Who deals with the logistics of flights and accommodation?

You will arrange  the flight tickets yourself but we can pick you up from airport for transfer to Hotel. Also we can help you for accommodation (hotel or residence near to our Hospital)  

Coordinator for patient relations in our IVF centre will help you.

11. How is the pre-treatment carried out?

You can send us the copies of all your medical records before you start. 

For woman; fT4 (free thyroxine),TSH, Prolactine  levels are required and also HBSAg, Anti-HCV , Anti-HIV is required

For man: HBSAg, Anti-HCV , Anti-HIV, sperm analysis are required. 

All the details of previous treatments will be helpful to understand the medical condition also. 

 12. How do I get medication?

As we start the treatment we provide the drugs in the package program or you can buy from pharmacy yourself.

13. How will I be monitored?

We will start the treatment at second or third day of the mensturation. The treatment will begin with daily injections and after three days you will be controlled again by ultrasound and blood levels of hormones to adjust the drug dosage. In every other day, you should be examined again and at about 9th or 10th day of treatment, you will have the final injection and in 36 hours your eggs will be collected under general anaesthesia. After that, your embryo transfer will be performed between 2 – 5 days .

14. How will I know that I am not being under / over stimulated?

In ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome, you may feel swelling and discomfort in the abdomen, sometimes nausea and vomiting, bowel problems and changes in urine colour and consistency. We will observe your stimulation closely to prevent hyperstimulation. If your ovaries are polycyctic type ( that means more sensitive for hyperstimulation), you should have daily monitoring with ultrasound and blood levels of oestradiol. 

Understimulation is easily diagnosed by ultrasound and blood levels and managed by modulating the drug dosage. 

15. If I have a problem whilst in the UK who would I go to?

Couples are free to return UK next day after embryo transfer. Sometimes problems like ectopic pregnancy, missed abortion, threatened abortion can occur just as after spontaneous pregnancy. In these circumstances, your local consultant will help you. We are always willing to give medical advice and direct you by phone or mail.

16. Is the clinic registered with any regulatory body?

Our IVF centre is located in Medicana International Hospitals Group which is one of the largest and pioneer of private Hospitals in Turkey. It is approved by our Ministry of Health and also Our Hospital is accredited by ISO and JCI (Joint Commission International) regularly. You can observe the Medicana group by visiting our site   (http://www.medicana.com.tr/intPatients/default.aspx )

As society evolves, the typical family structure changes, technology advances, and laws flex, more people than ever are turning to infertility treatments as a means to start a family.

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone is blessed with the ability to quickly and easily conceive a child. This is becoming more and more obvious in recent years.

For some, health problems leading to male and female infertility factors contribute to a couple’s conception troubles.

Many others put off the pursuit of parenthood until their late 30s and early 40s, where the chances of a successful pregnancy dwindle down to almost zero.

On the other hand, singles and same-sex couples are also utilizing assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures, along with surrogacy, to have the children they’ve always dreamed of.

Infertility treatments are more accessible (and successful) than ever before, which means it’s likely that this very specialized area of health care will experience major growth in the coming years particularly in the locations of Mexico, Spain, Cyprus, Thailand, and Colombia.

For 2012 in particular, whether monumental or controversial, three very important infertility trends are sure to steal the spotlight:

Money-Saving IVF Test: A new infertility test that has the potential to save parents money and disappointment by dramatically increasing the chances of having a healthy baby through in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Researchers at Oxford University say this new test is revolutionary because of its low price, increased level of safety and overall effectiveness.

The test works by analyzing ‘cloud’ cells (also known as cumulous cells) that provide nutrients to the egg. The cumulous cells, normally thrown out in a standard IVF procedure, would be tested for health and vitality, which could help infertility specialists to choose only the very best eggs for the IVF procedure, without harming a single one.

When compared to current egg and embryo tests, including pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), analyzing cumulous cells will minimize risks, cut costs by at least 50 percent, and greatly increase the odds of achieving a successful pregnancy in the first IVF attempt.

Although the study was quite small, Oxford researchers hope to begin clinical trials in the summer. If the test works as well as scientists believe, it should be available worldwide at the start of next year.

Sperm Donation Hesitation: 2011 brought a lot of controversy to the infertility community, especially in regards to sperm donation. While this practice is a popular solution for single women, lesbian couples and those struggling with male infertility factors, there has been a backlash at sperm banks for allowing donors to father too many children.

Last year, one man in the United States discovered that he had 150 children and other stories around the world revealed similar cases, which sparked a lot of concern over laws and regulations related to donated sperm and how they affect potential offspring and their families.

While it may seem simple, sperm donation is a complex issue for the donors and receiving families. This year, advocates will be working towards a more solid set of laws and regulations to protect all parties involved, as donor sperm is still extremely valuable for patients who need it to conceive.

Career-Driven Surrogacy: Over the past five years, gestational surrogacy has spiked in popularity all over the world. The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology reported 260 surrogate births in 2006; this number raised to about 1,000 in 2009, and considering these figures only represent the United States, there’s no doubt surrogacy is a booming industry.

In the past, couples used surrogacy as a last resort, following multiple miscarriages and failed IVF attempts. Today, however, surrogacy is open to all types of families, including singles and same-sex couples. Countries like the India, Thailand, Ukraine, Georgia have capitalized on this growing demand for gestational surrogacy options, and now welcome thousands of internationally based clients each year.

The newest surrogacy trend for 2012 involves career women. Many with high-powered jobs are putting off pregnancy, and instead choosing to build their careers during their most fertile years.

One anonymous female CEO told The Grindstone, “People, not just women, in senior level roles, are living their lives at very high paces. They work more hours, lack sleep, travel a lot and struggle to keep a routine. You would find ways to manage this, but the added impact of pregnancy would change their lives. There are ways to slow down but for some women, and it’s not because they aren’t maternal, but I think it is that they don’t desire the whole pregnancy thing. I see it as slowing me down. It is not that they are choosing to put career first, but putting the focus first. And when you are presented with an option like surrogacy, it seems viable. It kind of makes sense.”

While some may find this new trend quite controversial, for today’s modern family, it’s not really about the pregnancy, but the end result that is most important. The route to parenthood is different for everyone, and gestational surrogacy is just one option.

The CEO added, ““Society has shifted and new roles and technology allow for women to have this choice. Does that make it wrong? Because you can, should you? Why not?”

From higher IVF success rates to sperm donor and surrogacy controversy, it looks like 2012 will be an eventful year for the infertility community. If you are trying to conceive, whether naturally or with the help of infertility treatments, VisitandCare.com wishes you the very best of luck and baby dust on your journey towards parenthood!

In response to my IVF cost letter I have had a great response from Dr. Priya Kannan of Garbba Rakshambigai Fertility Centre who have centres in both Chennai and Trichy in India. Here is the information I have been given:

Unusually the information I have on BcnIVF in Barcelona, Spain is not from the clinic itself but from somebody who has attended the clinic – it’s great to hear of others experiences with a clinic. Here is what they said:

Basically I was recommended a clinic in Barcelona because a friend of mine got pregnant there. She told me to ask for Dr. Olivares (I think he was the medical director) so I got in touch with them but, unfortunately, they told me that he was no longer working there. That was 2 months ago.
Since my friend insists on seeking for that doctor I started searching his name on the net and, luckily, I found out that he was about to open a new clinic, called BarcelonaIVF, with some staff from the first clinic I contacted. I managed to get their email (in their web site www.barcelonaivf.com) and started to ask questions and questions. They’re really fast solving concerns and doubts, you can expect to get an answer on the same day almost regardless of how many emails you send. At least this is what my contact, Romana, has done in fluent English. Moreover, despite not being cheap (egg donation costs 8950€), I like the way they manage the payments. One single payment for the treatment that should be done before your donor is assigned, but it includes egg donor selection tests, medication for both, the donor and me, any procedure that they think can help to achieve a better outcome -including IMSI, a technique that it only available in a handful of clinics- and the freezing of the surplus embryos you may have. That’s great because it allows you to focus really only on the treatment.
They also have two other things that sound really good. One is the “shared donor program” in which the donor (a “dedicated” donor, not a patient, is sharing her eggs) is shared amongst couples. They guarantee you’re going to get three good oocytes to ensure a good fresh embryo transfer. If the obtained embryos are not of goof quality, they reassign you to a new donor at no cost. It’s much cheaper than a normal egg donation (2950€) and it also includes everything. The only drawback is that if you choose this way, there won’t be any physical matching between donors and recipients (they say it’d take too long to match two or three couples with a single donor).
The other product I like is the “shared risk program”. I read about it in some US clinics websites. Basically you pay for three cycles before starting the first one and if you get pregnant (well not just getting pregnant, they talk about “ongoing pregnancy”, that means that the pregnancy goes beyond 13 weeks) they’ll charge you the whole amount (that would be 27.000€ in egg donation), this would be the patient’s risk. But if they don’t manage to get you pregnant after 3 attempts, then they refund you 75% of the money you’ve paid (that would be the clinic’s risk) I don’t know if I understood and explained it well… Otherwise please let me know and I will try to get more information. Or maybe you have experience with this kind of program…. However, I think, this would allow you to get some money back in case the treatment doesn’t work and to move on to any further treatments or even consider adoption. Well, to be honest, this won’t be my option because I can’t afford the initial payment, but if I were rich, I’d definitely do it 🙂

I know many people nowadays are looking for egg donor programmes. I was emailed about a specialist egg donor programme in South Africa called FertilityCareSA. They work with a number of the South African clinics. Here is the information they have kindly provided:

This Egg Donor Programme is the culmination of several years’ experience in the egg donation industry. At the helm of FertilityCareSA is Ingrid Bothe who is the managing partner of this egg donor programme.Ingrid has a wealth of experience in the healthcare industry. She worked for the NHS in the United Kingdom for 9 years before returning to South Africa when she joined one of the larger egg donor agencies in South Africa.  Recently deciding to spread her wings , she has joined forces with her business partner who has been through number of IVF’s herself and brings her years of real first-had experience in the egg donation/fertility industry in this new venture together they have formed a double impact.” 

Please visit our website www.fertilitycaresa.com for more information.

Our egg donor agency fee is: $2000

Choosing the right fertility clinic and fertility specialist is critical to the success of your IVF.  We have worked with almost all fertility clinics in South Africa.  In general most fertility clinics are good. It is however our experience that the success rate varies from clinic to clinic and from specialist to specialist, that is why we hope the information we will share with you will help you in choosing the clinic that will maximise your success rate. The below clinics FCSA would recommend based on feedback we’ve had from both recipients AND donors alike.

My goal is to make this possibility available to everyone who needs it.
