Cost of infertility treatment

Fertility treatment is not cheap at all. The average cost of assisted reproductive techniques such as artificial insemination is VND 280 million per treatment. This amount varies depending on how much medicine you need, where you live, and whether the hospital you treat has rebate or discount programs for multiple treatments. Health insurance will usually not cover the cost of infertility treatment, so you should consider carefully before choosing a method.

Possibility to have a baby after performing infertility treatments

Many women having difficulty getting pregnant will be prescribed clomiphene citrate  - an oral fertility drug. About 35% of women taking this drug will be able to get pregnant during treatment (usually 3 to 6 treatments).

When the ovulation enhancer (clomiphene citrate) is combined with the method of intrauterine insemination, the pregnancy rate can increase from 10 to 20% after each treatment. For women 34 and younger, about 46% of women can become pregnant through in vitro fertilization. That number drops:

38% for women aged 35 to 37;

29% for women aged 38 to 40;

19% for women aged 41 to 42;

9% for women 43 years and older.

About 22% of treatments with assisted reproductive technology give very positive results. This rate will increase to about 46% for couples using donor eggs.

Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol and coffee, and improving the mother's diet also help increase the pregnancy rate. In addition, the husband's diet is also very important.

However, the ability to conceive successfully also depends greatly on the mother's age and history. Women over the age of 40 have a harder time getting pregnant than younger women. Therefore, you should find someone willing to support you or a friend who can talk to you before, during, and after your treatment.

Are numbers of infertility treatment results reliable?

During the course of treatment, you will hear statistics from fertility to ectopic pregnancy of other pregnant mothers. But the most important thing to note is that the pregnancy rate will be lower than the rate of loss of pregnancy, because you could have a miscarriage or have many other risk factors during pregnancy.

You should try other treatments if you have been treated to a certain therapy 3–6 times but it doesn't work. However, depending on the case, the treatment for each couple will be different and so far the results have shown that no couple has tried up to 6 in vitro fertilization attempts.

At the same time, fertility success rates that are published in hospitals can also mislead you. When you look for information about hospitals, pay attention to how they screen clients. To increase success rates, some hospitals will not accept treatment for women over the age of 40 or couples with complicated reproductive problems. Therefore, you should learn as much as possible about the reputation and expertise of that hospital by talking to former patients and outside doctors.
