IVF prices in 2016 have not experienced a significant price increase compared to last year. Of course, the increase in technological possibilities and economic factors have caused a relative increase in prices. However, what should be considered at this point is the techniques applied, success rates and the couple's infertility problems rather than the center's price. Infertility treatment methods are procedures applied differently for each couple. For example; IVF treatment is the process of fertilizing the reproductive cells of the woman and the man in a laboratory environment and then transferring them to the uterus of the mother candidate. However, at this point, depending on the couple's infertility status, fertilization can be done with the classic IVF or microinjection method. The Micro TESE method can be applied to obtain sperm from the male candidate or the medications used may increase due to the woman's age. Such factors require different methods to be applied to each couple in IVF treatment. In this case, prices may increase.
Turkey is among the top countries in the world in terms of IVF treatment success. Despite this, prices are quite affordable compared to America and European countries. In some countries, treatment costs can even reach 10 thousand dollars. In our country, treatment costs can vary from clinic to clinic.
The reasons why IVF prices differ from center to center are:
The service offered,
The technological infrastructure of the center,
The methods applied are,
The success of the doctor,
The center's take-home live babies rate,
Hygiene conditions,
Factors such as the province and city where it is located.
