Micro IVF is a fertility option, which is readily available, affordable, and can be successful. Fortunately, the medication for this process is administered orally, with minimal or no injections. This lowers the risk of multiple births. The process includes monitoring, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and/or embryo freezing. However, the process does exclude medication. Micro IVF cost 60% less than the conventional IVF cycle. There are additional savings, due to the amount of medication that is required.
Micro IVF often serves woman who are candidates for Intrauterine Insemination IUI (also known as Artificial Insemination). The average IUI cycle cost is approximately $4,000 - $5,000, however there is a 10% chance of becoming pregnant. IUI is usually considered the first order of treatment for many infertility patients. In most cases, for IUI, more than one cycle is required. For these reasons, couples decide to emotionally and financially invest in the conventional IVF process. On the other hand, Micro IVF is comparable to the cost of IUI, and is far more efficient with 3x’s the success rate (30%).
