Welcome to ivfcost.net. This site was born out of my husband and I being told that we have “unexplained” infertility after 10 years of trying! With finances being tight, and me being 43 and hence not eligible for IVF on the NHS, we were unable to just select the most convenient IVF clinic and pay the price. So we decided to look across the world to see where the best place was that offered good IVF success rates and low IVF cost!

What a job! If you have been trying then you’ve probably struggled as much as we have! So I decided that as I gather information I will share it with others, like yourself.

The first thing I did was try to get an overview of the IVF cost across the globe. The results of this can be found here.

After this I found the contact details for as many IVF clinics as I could and I am in the process of sending them an email (which can be seen here) requesting the IVF cost, IVF success rate and information on the IVF process. I am posting the responses as I get them on this site and have tagged them with the country name. To date I have responses on:

IVF Cost in Argentina

IVF Cost in Australia

IVF Cost in Austria

IVF Cost in Belgium

IVF Cost in Brazil

IVF Cost in Bulgaria

IVF Cost in Costa Rica

IVF Cost in Croatia

IVF Cost in Cyprus

IVF Cost in Czech Republic

IVF Cost in Taiwan

IVF Cost in Thailand

IVF Cost in Turkey

IVF Cost in the Ukraine

IVF Cost in the USA

IVF Cost in the U.K.

IVF Cost in United Arab Emirates

I have also tagged the responses that I found particularly useful and put them in the tag My IVF Shortlist.

When we started this journey I must admit that it was all very overwhelming. We knew very little about what our options were and what to expect. We scoured the book stores for something that would help us get to grips with the jargon and understand what our test results really meant. The one book that stands out above the others is What to Do When You Can’t Get Pregnant: The Complete Guide to All the Technologies for Couples Facing Fertility Problems by Daniel A Potter and Jennifer S Hanin. This has been our bible to knowing what is going on, what questions to ask and how to make good decisions – we can highly recommend it.

I hope that the information on this site is useful to you. If you have experience with any of the clinics please do leave a comment so that others can benefit from it too.

Technorati Tags: IVF Cost, Welcome

It has taken me a while to write this post – I can be a bit shy talking about such personal issues – but I thought I should put up an introductory post here to tell you who I am and why I have developed this blog.

I imagine that if you are visiting my IVFcost.net blog you, like me, are looking to get pregnant and have been recommended IVF.

My husband and I spent about eight years hoping that the natural thing would happen, the natural way. It didn’t! Eventually, when I was 39, we started taking all the tests. After a gruelling year or more we were told that the reason I had never become pregnant was “unexplained” and, due to my age, we should go for IVF – an IVF pregnancy is our only hope!

The problem then was that I had turned 40 and was no longer eligible for treatment on the NHS (we are based in the UK where you can get one or more cycles paid for by the NHS if you are 39 or under). So we were faced with having to pay for the treatment ourselves.

This posed additional problems for us as we were only just getting on our feet having lost absolutely everything when we returned to the UK after living in Zimbabwe. Then, just as we thought we may be in a position to get started, my mother was taken seriously ill and we have had an added financial burden of caring for her needs.

So, we have a desire, but we have no money!!! I’m sure we are not alone in this! It has meant that the IVF cost is crucial to us. In addition, as I write this I am now 43! This means that the IVF success rate is diminishing for me – rapidly!! We need IVF treatment that is effective and cheap!

Not being one to give up easily I decided that I should start researching and, to help me to focus my results whilst also helping others in a similar position to us, I started this blog.

I hope that you find the information here useful. It is a collection of things that have struck a chord with me, together with the IVF cost research that I have done. There are a few excellent things that I have come across – in particular the How to get Pregnant – Mind Movie, please take a look at it!

I wish you every luck with achieving your dream of a beautiful, healthy baby – perhaps we’ll meet in the delivery room!
