The cost of IVF

                                     The cost of IVF


The days are gone when a couple used to get disheartened & shattered on finding  that the natural conception is difficult  for them due to azospermia , asthenopermia  or diminished motile sperms count in the male or bilaterally blocked tubes , anovulation  due to pcos , aeging ,premature ovarian failure , endometriosis or thin endometrium as now they know that many new techniques like IVF&ICSI are available to solve their problem & bring happines & get their parenthood back in their life . But when the cost come to know about the cost of ivf &icsi procedure they enthusiasm goes down.
 The cost of IVF and an ICSI remedy are twofold.it can be devided into two parts
1) laboratory cost
2) medicinal cost
Lets understand the procedure of ivf & icsi in short. In case of IVF, the most excellent egg cell and the best sperm cell will be chosen, and afterward assembled for fertilization. In case of ICSI, supplementary steps in the laboratory are required. ICSI is a special technique, which indicates that a particular sperm cell will be implemented into an egg cell. After a few days the accomplishment of fertilization will be tested. The best looking embryo will then be instilled into the uterus.
1)The laboratory expenses consist of the basic ivf laboratory, the expansive micromanipulator used in icsi procedure, the disposable dishes ,micropipeptes, ovum pickup needles ,sperm holding & sperm injecting needles , the media &embryo transferring catheter. Follicular monitoring by ultrasound by radiologist  , operation theatre & anaesthesia charges are also to be considered.
2)the medication cost consists of Gnrh agonists like lupride,decapeptydyl & buserlin  or gnrh antagonists like cetorelix and gonadotropins like gonal F, highly purified menogon or puregon necessary for the follicular development, sifasi, profesi , ovunal for egg maturation & follicular rupture.
 The cost of medication  varies  from patient to patient depending upon the age ,cause of infertility& moreover it is unpredictable   how the body is going to respond.

In India the cost varies from  3000$ to 3500$ ( 2..1lakhs to 2.5 lakh RUPEES) .the supplementary procedures like ICSI will cost 25000 rupees  extra. & egg donation will cost you further 60,000 rs.
In EUROPE the total expenses for the above mentioned, with an excellent health insurance, will be in the region of 2300 to 2600 euro. In the USA the costs are completely different. The average IVF cost in the USA is $12,000, but it can get to as much as $15,000. It may well be as low as $10,000, although it's hardly ever lower than that. These costs are for one cycle of IVF and do not incorporate the ICSI treatment. In case a clinic suggests a lower rate than $10,000, they are most likely leaving something out from their price they quote.
For an IVF care in the USA  are some extra costs of IVF that have to be bear in mind. The basic cost of IVF is around $12,000. But supplementary remedies will increase your costs nevertheless. For instance, the ICSI cure we brought up in the first part of this article. In the USA this could be an additional $1,000 to $1,500. In Europe the costs of an ICSI treatment is already in the price.
In annxure ,the cost of ivf – icsi procedure in india is the lowest comparatively with the best expertise. That’s how india  is becoming the hub of assisted reproductive techniques.(ART)
 The process of freezing eggs ,sperms or embryos freezing, and storage, may cost an extra few to several hundred dollars.
 We can therefore conclude that although the ivf icsi procedure requires a significant  amount of money but the result of becoming a parent is awesome & worth putting efforts which saves you from depressions & mental turmoil.

INTRACYTOPLASMIC SPERM INJECTION- THE BEST IVF TREATMENT FOR MALE INFERTILITY FOR HIGH IVF SUCCESS RATE

                      


What is ICSI?

ICSI is an IVF procedure only but is commonly used to help the men with low sperm count say less than10 million /ml ,with more of the dead sperm count is less no. of motile sperms less than 40% or azospermia  meaning no sperms in semen analysis but mature sperms can be found on testicular biopsy.
When all the other natural alternative methods like nutritional education  ,herbal medication to boost their strength,  saying no to alcohol ,avoiding smoking ,avoiding tight garment & exposure to heat   have failed to increase the sperm count or enhance the motility  IVF-ICSI treatment method is adapted .Some clinics use icsi procedure for all ivf cases it gives a high fertilization rate whereas others use it for previous failed ivf treatments for severe male factor infertility, poor quality embryos  or less no. of retrieved  eggs. The procedure requires a highly skilled embryologist.

PROCEDURE OF IVF ICSI

IVF with ICSI involves the a use of specialized equipment like micromanipulator and inverted microscope which enables the embryologist to high magnification to visualize & choose the best morphologically looking sperm ,to pick up in the sperm holding pipette  ,immobilising the tail & then slowly piercing the shell of the egg gently, entering through the cell membrane into the cytoplasm of the egg ,injecting the  sperm nuclear  material into the egg.

SUCCESS RATE OF IVF ICSI

ICSI has a v. high  fertilization success  rate .Approximately 80% of  the eggs are successfully  fertilized by ICSI procedure but  from here, the fertilized embryo has to start its journey of successful implantation in  the mother`s womb.  Only 45% of women that undergo ICSI treatment go right through to the end and give birth to healthy babies.
Why are the ICSI rates not that important?
ICSI rates are not really that important because the ICSI treatment method involves the use of the ivf technique. Because the ICSI rates are already quite high, there is only a 20% chance of not successfully conceiving  and  therefore the majority of cases are left up to success rates of ivf.

WHAT IS THE COST OF ICSI

The IVF-ICSI  procedure is v. economical  In INDIA . whereas the cost of IVF treatment is 12,000$ +1500$ for ICSI treatment in U.S& 3000pounds+500  pounds for ICSI in U.K; in INDIA  its just 3800$ &200 $ extra for ICSI treatment.
